Wasteman delves into the digital realm

As you can probably tell from all the new prints, my business partner recently moved his 3d printer to the workshop and gave me free reign. I have been making the most of it!

I also managed to get some painting done over the weekend (A half an hour walk to the workshop on Friday proved that the business centre is closed on what turned out to be a bank holiday lol oh well I needed the exercise)

A few more figures and i’ll be ready for playtesting!

So after proudly displaying my Lunar Coalition figures across the internet I went to print them – to my horror it turned out that I’d made their arms and heads too small, furthermore they were diddy! Sadly I’d gone a little screen blind while making them, something which is easy to do when you work on a project in one go without looking away.

So onwards to the pc I went determined to remedy their small arms and small heads…

…And I promptly got the proportions wrong the other way – now they head bobble heads and gorilla arms. Back to the files again…

Finally I got the proportions right, I then made some new poses that would be a little less lack lustre. I’m finally happy with them! I also printed off the Titanotron, which came out nice

Now that I’m happy with the proportions I can get cracking on making a whole bunch of them 🙂

I thought I’d have a go at making a human in tinkercad and, since I’ve been desperate to resculpt my Lunar Coalition figures for a few years (as the sculpts haven’t aged very well), I figured I’d get them in some fully enclosed armour and have a go.

Really happy with the results so far!

My martian tripod was feeling a little lonely and directionless, so I made it a big friend to tell it what to do.

Got a couple more figures designed over Christmas.

I wanted to make something massive for a cool centre piece. Figured a giant Prussian mech would do the trick! Pictured this going well with the saucers while I was making it.

I played a lot of war thunder over the christmas break and really like the look of the german s-boats. Figured I’d make a walking torpedo boat – of course the torpedoes are rockets.

Had an idea for a new class of medium land ship, built in the US, where the main crew compartment and engine room would be in a giant turret. I designed it to look a little bit like a Sherman.

Really happy with the result, I think it fits in really nicely with the land ships and saucers. Should be a nice little range!

Finished off painting the first of my samples today so thought I should get a decent pic of them!

Met up with Jamie yesterday and got given a bumper crop of prints!

I now have a Martian tripod, the missing turrets for my medium landship, a small landship, and my saucers!

I’ve got a couple bits cleaned and built so far – the tripod and small landship. Saucers will have to wait until the flying stands i ordered arrive.

I also came up with the name for my landship game – Atomclad (Figured the ships would be called Atomclads – like ironclads but they have atomic shielding)
