Glad to finally have Wave Two rolling out. Lots of new designs, 6mm/10mm soldiers, pilots, mechs, tanks, and terrain.

Wave One Release:

Those look awesome!

They do indeed - any size comparisons?

I'm interested in the Zugzwang, but will probably wait until the turrets and the Obama class refit vehicle become available. Very neat designs.

Ill eventually get some Space Marines and popular Battletech models, but for now Ive got their measurements (43mm or so) listed. They are on 32mm and 40mm bases in the pics.

Thanks, they already are if you need some. All of the Wave One miniatures are up.

Are these sold as direct 3D prints (not casts)? They look awesome!

@Zach

Er, uh...I needed that time to refill my hobby coffers anyway.

For now, yes. Just for sheer economical reasons, Im waiting to make molds for these until the demand warrants it. Theres also a material barrier, there are some things the Solus 3D printer can do that are quite a headache to achieve
with regular casting, so parts like the chains on the Kuznets will likely always be 3D printed, while the rest will be cast.

As a small operation, its just more efficient to print at the moment and prepare to cast the larger stuff later on.

Dont we all.

Some more pics of the entire 1st release

The first batch of Wave One is almost sold out, I'm very happy with the release and thankful for all of the support.

Theres still a handful of mechs left and a lot of Pilots. Now through the rest of the weekend, use code WAVE1WEEKEND at checkout for 15% off. If you've already completed an order, send me a msg for a code good for future Wave 1 and 2 orders.

Hmmm...do a crowdfunder to get them printed at a more high end company and then get them cast.

Nice work Zach! Defiantly agree with Malika2 there, might be worth contacting Zealot or Hysterical for a quote at the least...

Im not sure I follow, to what end?

I'll be casting them and all future models in 2019, but right now theres no demand that necessitates a larger quantity. Many, many companies and
independent/boutique companies like mine use the Solus Micron for its masters that are cast, I dont need to outsource that. I dont have 1000 orders that I
cant fill, Im struggling just to get the word out in a sea of model releases.

Essentially, I equate it to being a band with a decent local following. Its way more financially solvent to produce your own EP and sell it at gigs, than to
save up a collective $5k between bandmates, get a 'professional' recording done over a few days, and then spend another $1k on pressings with art, only to have
a ton of product without any way of moving it. It would do me no good to have someone else cast my stuff right now without having somewhere for that to go, and Id
much rather (and plan on) investing the money into a solid in house casting setup that meets the quality standard I'd want from boutique limited model releases.

I, like Doctor Strange in Infinity War, am more focused on the long game. Let a year or two go by and gradually develop a release schedule, Im in no rush to put a cart
before a horse.

All preorders for Wave One have been filled and are out the door! Thank you for the support and I hope everyone enjoys the designs.

Working on Wave Two now.

Painting up the second wave now, much larger than the last and a variety of scale.
