Well that's a pretty awesome looking jetbike.

Agreed

That Jetbike... so sweet...

Priced right, you will sell many of them.

And not just to me!

I said it before, I'll say it again: I kind of preferred that jump pack before all the extra stuff got put on it. That looks just a wee bit too banged up for my taste.

@wspatterson: Can't please everyone - even though we try .

As promised here's a quick teaser of one of the projects that currently lay on my desk:




Kulasyrk did great with 3d modelling. Soon I should be able to share next stages of the development.
Let me know what do you think .
Got to admit that this idea has been waiting in my head for 2 years or so - I'm so happy to finally see it done .

Birdy!
No idea what I could use them for, my loss!

#6 maybe an Elf type dude?
My pick of the excellent bunch fwiw

Would these be sized to fit some DE? Maybe the ones with the bird wings, or the ones on the jet boards?

These remind me of the old G-Force cartoons from back in the day. Even the Griffith's Demon Helm from the Berserk series. Nice! Could work well for Tzeentchian chaos warriors?

I love the new heads. They give me a Bioshock-splicer vibe for some reason.

Any idea on how they will scale to 40k? SM or IG?

Number 5 reminds me of chocobo knights from Final Fantasy.
Number 2, 4, and 7 kinda remind me harlequins for some reason. They got a circus performer feel to them. Either that or plague doctors.

The jetbike might look really nice in a Sisters of Battle army, but we need one a little less steampunk for regular marines.

Former associate kromlech makes one.

Those heads reminded me of the Avian based culture purged by the Thousand Sons in the great crusade.

The heads look great, will be usable in a lot of different armies. My only criticism - judging by the front views, the wearers can't actually see frontwards? Don't know how practical it would be to enlarge/move the eye holes a little more to the front...

Jetbike = AWESOME!

Bronze Pattern JP = SWEET!

Bird Helmets = Very Unique and will appeal to a lot of different armies (depending on scale).

@Clang: that was my initial comment on those as well. Kulasyrk corrected this part. I have the prints already and they've turned out great .

The Grav bike looks good but a little light on the back end. The front end looks great but with it the back looks like it would be a pain to balance if you want to model it floating.

Depends on where the flight stand goes.

If it is up towards the front, it probably won't be a problem...

Jetbike nails the BFG asthetic. Nice work.

I like the overall aesthetic of the jetbike - not sure about it's tail-end though with the exhaust located facing up like that, though. Front end looks great, though.

With the jump packs, I have to agree - some less busy ones would work well. I'll no doubt buy a pack of these for the variety, but a variation on these (and the last ones) that are more symmetrical and without too much extra detailing - maybe panel lines, but not too much cabling or overlaid panels, studs, etc.

I like the jetbike, but wish a bit more in the back end and maybe seperate the guns in the front maybe have them coming out of the front end like a 20mm on a f-16 falcon.

Will let Maxime know about your suggestions guys .

In a meantime FreakForge is having fun with a side, fun project and started a log on maxmini forums. He received cyberwolf sculpted by Robert wit a note he can do anything he wants with it. Here's how the model looks ATM :

ext steps of the Steel Crow Tribe helmets design and casting process.
First here's a shot of some of the 3d prints of the models:


We've used those to make a "master" mould. Casts from it will be then cleaned and corrected a tad. Most of the work at theis stage is about smoothening the surface - usually prints are really smooth only on flat surfaces. But at the same time have to say that thx to using a very high quality printer this stage is not a pain - it's not that much to do .


When this gets done I'll choose 5 IMO best designs and will make first pre-production mould.

Some of these look amazing for use as DIY or pre-heresy Chaos Legion Raptor helmets.

you could use them to make a really cool looking blood bowl team

Hmmm... now I'm wondering about these for my son's Doom Eagle army.

I suddenly have the urge to build a Dragon Slayer for a gutsy guy.

I like all the helmets - keep all the designs, keep them all I say.

Cool helmets!

Don't know how you can choose!?
They all look cool!

Do 3 more and have 2 sets of 5
