[New Files!] The Royal Guard helmet has been added to the May Specialist rewards!

It's time we get back to some good ol' Star Wars releases! With the Acolyte on the horizon I expect to work on a few things from that as well! The Vader helmet is also nearing completion - just got to add a few more special features ;)

The Royal Guard helmet has always been an iconic one for me but one with a daunting task of finding a way to separate it well. I think we've done a pretty ...

[New Files!] A custom Star Wars Blaster has been added to the May Specialist rewards!

A quick little release today - a blaster I'm dubbing the Mandalorian Gunslinger has been added to this month's lineup of rewards! From the mind of Sergey Kolesnik, this blaster leans into the "Old West" theme of blasters pretty heavily but I think has just enough flair to make it fit into Star Wars - perhaps into a custom Mandalorian cosplay.

The blaster comes pre-separated ...

[New Files!] The Helldivers 2 Savior of the Free armor has been added to the May Specialist rewards!

The accompanying armor set to one of my favorite helmets in the game has been finished! For the ones who wish to display how much they love Democracy with silver and gold!

The armor is default scaled to someone 6' tall and about 200 lbs. There's a fair amount of leeway each direction though since the armor is pretty forgiving.

Each armor part has been split up or offered in multipl...

[New Files!] The Fallout NCR Ranger helmet has been added to the May Specialist rewards!

This one has been a really fun one to make! With how good the Fallout show was it's got me in a little bit of a Fallout mood. In general I'm not a huge fan of the post-apocalyptic motif of most Fallout props but this one has always stood out to me! Now, let's talk a little about the helmet itself!

Default scaled to fit up to 24.5" circumference heads by default, this NCR Ranger helmet has...

[New Files!] The Fallout T-60 Power Armor Bust has been added to the May Specialist rewards!

We're kicking off May with a big one! Following up our Exterminator armor set we got commissioned to make the Juggernaut helmet and armor set as well! It builds a lot off the existing Exterminator set so you'll find the essentials of that set included with this one.

[Tutorial] How to see through helmets that don't have a visor!

Hey all,! Sorry for the late post, I was home with a sick kid all day, but I promise it's something special!

Sometimes we love helmets that don't exactly have a clear way to see through them. A few months ago we released a Shaxx helmet from Destiny that definitely fit that category. I set out to find an affordable, simplistic, way to see through helmets like these and found a great soluti...

There's nothing quite like a cheese character that steals the show. I admit I knew almost nothing about Mr. Bones before Jamie said we should do some miniatures of him but we wanted to do more with our B-1 Droid sculpt so here we are! As you can tell we had some fun choosing the poses.

Each of the 6 poses comes in 1:48 scale and includes pre-supported versions of each. Every pose also inc...
