[New Files!] The Helldiver Vertical Helmet Stand has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

While working late on dyeing all these Helldiver visors I had the great suggestion from a Discord member (thanks Taylor!) to make the Helldiver Skull logo for the Vertical Helmet Stand set!

Knocked it out quick and added it to the Helmet Stand files in the Instant Exclusives folder. Uses the 7/8" diameter rod with an alternate 20mm rod version for the metric users.

Enjoy!

Hey everyone! We've seen a lot of newcomers to the Patreon for Helldivers files so I wanted to give you guys a sneak peek at what's coming down the line during our "March" Into Hell!

Hope you all are excited and as always thank you for your support!

[New Files!] The Helldivers 2 Hero of the Federation helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

The third Helldivers helmet makes it to the February rewards! This one is one of my personal favorites so you can expect an armor set around the corner as well! We also had a set of propaganda posters made up by our graphic designer Jordan, I think he did such a great job!

Included in the helmet files:
- Assembled, Casting, and Solid versions
- Visor buck for vacuum forming (we'll o...

[New Files!] The Helldivers 2 Champion of the People helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

More Helldivers 2 for you guys if you can't tell what my current obsession is!

This one shares a lot of features with the Tactical helmet so it wasn't too much trouble to convert it.

Like the Tactical helmet it includes:
- Default scaled to fit up to 24" circumference heads
- Includes Assembled, Casting, and Solid versions
- Pre-separated into easy to print pieces
- La...

[New Files!] The Helldivers 2 helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

After many many requests and Terminids quashed, the B-01 Tactical Helldiver's helmet has made it to the Patreon!

I've been playing this game pretty relentlessly the last few days and just knew we had to do the classic helmet! It's got the full suite of features so lets dive into the details.

- Default scaled to fit up to 24" circumference heads
- Includes Assembled, Casting, and ...

[New Files!] The Tie Pilot Helmet and Armor has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Even MORE Original Trilogy love! The Tie Pilot helmet has been remastered and the armor built from scratch as part of the February Specialist rewards!

The helmet has received some improvements in the form of additional separation, pre-cut parts for smaller printers, magnets for the faceplate, and bubble lens alternatives! 

Now the face is able to detach from the main helmet wit...

[New Files!] The DH-17 Blaster has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Another classic from the Original Trilogy has joined the February Specialist rewards! I had this request last week and luckily Sergey Kolesnik already had a model on hand! 

I made a modification to add a 1/4" diameter wooden rod through the center for support and structure. The model also includes a few different optional accessories like flashlight and optic!

Bambu Studio Proj...

[New Files! The Snowtrooper Spartan custom helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

It's been a while since we've done one of these but I'm in a snowy mood so the Snowtrooper Spartan helmet, from art by Wernissage, has made it to the February rewards!

The helmet comes in both assembled and pre-separated versions. The pre-separated parts  fit together with interlocking tabs. Also included are pre-cut parts for smaller printers.

The helmet uses the visor cutout ...

[File Updates] The A-Wing and Titanfall R-201 Rifle have both been updated!

I've added a floating magnet version of the 1:48 scale A-Wing along with a link to the magnet system used (same as the AAT tank)

I was notified the R-201 rifle was also missing a file in the upload so I've fixed that and uploaded a new version.

Be sure to re-download both file sets to get the latest version!

[New Files!] The ESB Snowtrooper Armor and Helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Some more OT love as the Imperial Snowtrooper makes it's way to the February rewards! A big thank you to Gary Howe from the 501st Blizzard Force detachment for help getting this armor set 501st compliant!

The helmet features an assembled and solid version, along with the pre-separated and pre-cut parts for smaller printers. A file for the cowl is included but you should use white marine l...

[New Files!] The Ace of Spades Destiny hand cannon files have been added to the February Specialist rewards!

The iconic hand cannon from Destiny has made it to the February Specialist rewards! Unfortunately this project sat on the back burner for a while before I decided to move forward on other projects so it doesn't have any functionality to it. It will definitely still make an amazing prop!

The center barrel has a hole cut through for a 1/2" diameter wooden dowel for strength and support. The...

[New Video!] See how we made the levitating Halo Artifact and how I tortured Jamie with it!

For those of you who didn't see the new video yet, we made the levitating Keystone Artifact from the files released yesterday!

I also issued Jamie a special challenge when making it. Watch to see him suffer!

[New Files!] The floating Halo Keystone Artifact has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Our build video showing how to make it float: https://youtu.be/ieJXnhimths

With the debut of Halo Season 2 we wanted to make some cool Halo themed props. We also wanted to make one that floats! This is kind of an involved build since the magnetic display is not cheap but we added a solid version alternative if you're not...

[New Files & Free Download!] The Halo 3 Master Chief Miniatures have been added to the February Specialist and Officer rewards!

FREE DOWNLOAD HERE: https://thangs.com/mythangs/file/1004034

We've got another mini release! This one I'm very excited about as it's dipping into our other love of Halo but in a miniature fashion. We have lots of ideas for different Halo minis and dioramas but had to start with the OG! You'll find the above l...

[New Files!] The 1:48 Scale AAT Tank has been added to the Miniature Releases folder for Specialist and Officer supporters!

I'm very excited to show you guys this tank as it's been a long time in R&D! Despite it's small scale it has quite an exciting assortment of features - including actual levitation!!

Let's begin with part separation - each part has been thoughtfully separated for the easiest printing. The included Bambu Studio files also include the pieces in the best orientation but a...

[New Files!] The Proton Blaster from Star Wars Galaxies has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Ever wonder what a Star Wars G36 looks like? Well the Proton Blaster from Star Wars Galaxies is it! This model from Sergey Kolesnik should be the perfect addition to any custom Mandalorian or other Galactic Denizen!

I cut a 1/4" hole through the center of the gun for some reinforcement. You should need about a 25" long length for the full rifle. This one doesn't have any of the fancy mech...

[New Files!] The SCUBA Clone Trooper Helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

For a long time I said I'd never do this helmet but here we are. The SCUBA Clone Trooper is one of the ugliest Clone designs IMO but I won't discriminate - he'll still get an amazing design.

The helmet includes various assembled versions including:
Assembled Version
Casting Version
Filled and Solid Version

The pre-separated parts at 100% scale are able to fit on a 256x256x2...

[BTS] Here's a little preview of our trip to Baltimore Knife and Sword!

Jamie and I had the absolute pleasure of spending a week at Baltimore Knife and Sword working on 2 exciting projects with our friend Gari (who's also a Patreon community member!). It was a week full of work but I can't wait to show you guys the finished results.

A longer BTS video will be available ONLY on the Patreon so keep an eye out!

[New Files!] Anakin's Lightsaber has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Another exciting file from Dungeons and Starships joins the Galactic Armory Patreon! These lightsaber builds are always so fun and WAY much cheaper than buying them pre-made. Check out Kevin's Thangs page if you want to support him directly: https://thangs.com/designer/DungeonsAndStarships

[New Files!] The Shoretrooper Helmet & Armor have been added to the January Specialist rewards!

Last day of the month and you guys are STILL getting new files! This has been one in the works for a while, we're still working on the animation but I didn't want you guys to go without the armor files this month so I'm releasing it early - call it another bonus for Patreon members!

The armor itself contains in it 2 versions: the Squad Leader and Grunt. All that differs between...

[New Files!] The Halo Infinite Bandit Rifle has been added to the January Specialist rewards!

I'm still trying to cram as much into January as I can for you guys and would be remiss if this lovely rifle didn't make it! The base rifle was modeled by our friend Sergey Kolesnik with some modifications of my own. 

This design takes our weaponry to the next level with working trigger, slide, and magazine! You'll find all the needed non-printed materials in the Google doc. You'll a...

[New Files x3!] The Death Trooper, Shoretrooper and Stormtrooper busts have all been added to the January Specialist rewards!

You guys get 3-for-1 today! These 1:6 default scale busts work great in either SLA or FDM printing! I've included Bambu Studio project files for all 3 sliced at 200% scale that print out great on an FDM machine.

You might also be asking - "Hey that Shoretrooper bust looks pretty good, I wonder if the armor files are on the way?" and to that I'd say - yes! We're just finishing up a fun ani...

[New Files!] The Titanfall R-201 has been added to the January Specialist rewards!

(Sound On) As you can see we're stepping up the functionality on our FAKE and NON-FUNCTIONAL prop weapons! This took quite a bit of testing but we finally got the tolerances and mechanisms *just* right. The magazine is something we've done before using magnets but the functional slide was something new I wanted to figure out and it works oh so well.

Inclu...

[New Files and Free Download!] The ARC Trooper Miniatures have been added to the Specialist and Officer January rewards!

The 1:48 scale tabletop ARC Troopers have been added to this month's Officer and Specialist rewards! A single pose is also available to download for free!

[New Files!] Mark 4 Halo Wars Armor has been added to the January Specialist rewards!

We're back from our super secret blacksmithing trip to Baltimore! We had so much fun getting to help make some AMAZING looking swords with our friend Gari, I can't wait to show you some BTS of the week and of course the fruits of our (mostly Gari's) labor!

Getting back into the swing of things I've got some great releases for the remainder of January lined up, starting with the Mark 4 Hal...

[File Remaster!] Tech's Helmet and Armor have been added to the January Specialist rewards!

Tech recently received a sizable enough update to bring him back into the Specialist rewards folder! As you guys know I work tirelessly to make sure all our files are as accurate and easy to work with as possible - this update was a bit of both! Big thank you to LMO Amy Higgs for the assistance!

Small changes were made to the chest, back, backpack, and forearms in terms of accuracy - movi...
