One more WIP - this time 99% done! The fitting of all the joints is always a bit tricky, and requires a sacrificial piece --- which still gets pretty darn good photos. As an added bonus, I get to look at the close-ups and will notice if anything's missing in the design!
OK... I have no idea what I just sculpted. An antimatter core? A Brita filter? Ideas?
A bit every day, this one is nearly done. Can't wait to test-print one. Or five.
Here's the last unit for the Hive faction of Full Spectrum Dominance : the Hive Thrower, also known as the CRABAPULT!
Boarding corvette. When your ordinance isn't enough, you can always send a pod with hooks right into the enemy's Capital Ship!
Calling this done, the boarding corvette is ready.
Boarding Corvette! 95% done, and yet another light ship to join the range for Overdrive. It's taking a while, but it's going somewhere!
Working on a whole lot of ships at once, to get a better sense of the volumes and the models before delving too deep in one or two. Banana to scale.
Hive Nest - Morning WIP. I was a couple of scales away from finishing it yesterday night, but some social time called. Concept from @dasbilligealien.bsky.social , trying to match the vibe in a toy form.
Morning fun with renders. More models for the upcoming Overdrive wargame are in the works... and some neat subjects to play around with my render setup!
The SWARM stretchgoals are up-to-date, and I got some more time for Full Spectrum Overdrive: a variant of the container stack, pushing the envelope to the point of zero gravity!
going a bit more.... creative with the second version of the cargo stack for Overdrive. It's manual supporting time!
Ok, this is legit cute and cool. From an idea of @dasbilligealien.bsky.social, to a physical sculpt that really fits the theme.
A random doodle which instantly "made sense", and turned into a finished piece for Full Spectrum Overdrive faster than you can say "Geostationary Orbit Cargo Deposit".
Getting ready for this Friday event in Bologna (Yes, I'll be there!), I've printed and sent to the Disagio28 team some terrain upscaled 200% for a demo table. They're... pretty. ❤ Standard sized tank and infantry for scale.
From @lewisrk.bsky.social initial shape design, and with the language of the rest of the Overdrive fleet, I present to you the Weapons Platform!
Same old ship, but entirely reworked and test-printed for solid fits and magnetized systems. More and more hours sunk into the Overdrive models, but the game is shaping up beautifully!
Tech Vaults! Released last month for the SWARM stretchgoals, with six top variants (working both for undamaged Tech and run-down Detached settings), and a darn sleek design! One more stretchgoal for April in the works, with the May ones in queue as well!

After yesterday photos of the new spaceship - a properly done assembly instructions sheet!
More work done on the salvager! Alternative hull parts (two per side: 4 variants!) and magnetized front and back, for in-game optional systems to attach depending on the campaign choices and progression.
The toon I made shader is fun. And i've been sculpting new stuff today. So...
Several hours later. Looking for something in the direction of Moebius and @caldermoore.bsky.social (which has been so kind to actually give some advice!!!!) ... if it works, it might end up being a good tool for illustrations for Full Spectrum Overdrive! <3
Playing around with different render styles - the options are infinite, but the time is not. Trying to go in the direction of @caldermoore.bsky.social .... but not quite there. Still, pretty fun stuff.
Hey - got a new ship for Full Spectrum Overdrive! From @brennanpm.bsky.social 's concept art, through a few iterations of sclupting and evolving, into this little beast!
Better renders. Not entirely done, but not a WIP neither.
New ship for OVERDRIVE in the wors. Still very much a WIP, but I wanted to test the mechanical assembly and the overall vlume. I would say it's a solid success.
