That Rhino beast thing could very nicely become an Ork Squiggoth......

Ok I want one.

Wow, 3D printer go BRRRR! indeed, huh? Looking forward to seeing those things all done!

Sorry for the disappearance again. Lots going on, my mom is going into surgery now. Routine for her, but being 86 years old and her previous issues, nothing is a minor procedure anymore.

In better news, I had a supply drop recently.

No I have not gone golden bois. they will be converted to Talon Masters. ATV will also get converted given time.

Best wishes to your mother.

Those jetbikes are awesome models. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

Thanks, mom I see out of recovery and in bed at home now. Everything went smooth, hopefully this will alleviate some of the weekly issues we have been having.

At least with a day off the printer has been going Brrrrrrrrrr. Adding stuff me BIG points to the Dark Angels .

Edit: Did I say BIG? I meant BIG, like Leviathan BIG.....

Could that be a friend in the yellow box next to him?

They will both be close combat leviathans. The sets of arms are printed and in the cure machine right now. Printing the arm power cables for both of them now. Claw tips and drill tips will print in the morning.

The first Talon master doesn’t have much customization yet.

Swapped the lance for a DA sword, and replaced front guns with two heavy bolsters mounted inside the Chassis. I’ll need to bits dive later to look for twin assault cannons which I want to mount under the rear section of the bike on an under slung scorpion type mount.

My plan is to make two guys like this and use the last one to make Sammael. Original Talon masters rode in the land speeders with twin heavy bolsters and twin assault cannons, but I’ve seen plenty of conversions lately using these jet bikes.

Also found stl files for a Space Marine ATV which looks like like the Batman Tumbler. I much prefer that than the Mario Kart.

Wife is out of town for 4 days of conferences . Lots of work to be done around the house in the mean time a second I a man ordering carpet tomorrow and need to rearrange the new hobby room.

These days go by too quick. Not much progress on the leviathans, at least they are printed and assembled. The arms are just poster tacked in place right now and the phosphorex launchers are loose laid on the top. Brother prickly fingers still needs the power cables attached to the arms, but they are not necessary and just another thing to break off.


Really rethinking this color for the Deathwing. I’ll have to look at some other options on YouTube for inspiration.

Long days, short weeks. You could always go the classic guitar wire cables for durability?

Good to hear that your mum's surgery went well!

And nice additions to your Dark Angels!

Very nice prints on the dreads, and I am looking forward to seeing the completed jetbike conversion!

Thanks guys.

I have the cables printed for the leviathans, I just don’t like exposed cables, seems like a poor idea.

I got a bit distracted by a Titanicus video....then bought the rules box for Adeptus Titanicus....then started printing .

Third Lucius warhound has an hour left to print. I have then mirrored the file and tilted it further because of all the flat surfaces which did not print well due to supports


Still looking at the different legions, but thinking about legio vulpa (Khorne possessed Titans), but mainly leaning traitor for the chance to convert.

Awesomesauce. I definitely do not want those stls

Well the better stl is fora warmaster, almost done printing him out... found a failed part of my screen though . Anyway, I’ll use it for a color test.


While traitor legion might be fun, I am finding the files for regular Titans and almost nothing for traitors .

Guess I’ll stay loyal until chaos offers free files.

Hmmm, it seems more like chaos to have free files. But, what do I know about stl heresy?
Glad to hear about your mom's recovery.

Thanks Jeff

Well, once again I get a wild idea and I start running without fully figuring things out . The STL file says it needed to be upscaled 133%....so everything I printed was... too small. Here’s the two sizes side by side.

Your like a pinball, zooming from one thing to the next. Awesome work on it all.

I feel your pain on the scaling thing. I'm subscribed to the Ghamak patreon (he does some really nice 40k proxies) but I've found that most of them are too big and need to be scaled down, which probably means the presupported files won't work. I've heard that sometimes you can get away with scaling down presupported models as long as you don't go beyond like 85% (presumably scaling up might have a similar safe range), but I have yet to try it.

Great news that your mom is doing better!
