[Mar. Release] PufferFish Aerial Assault Drone (and PunchBot)
Added 2023-02-27 14:00:03 +0000 UTCEDIT 3/3/21: All the files are currently making their way to CG&T~ both Raw and Supported this time around~ I've added my test prints to the end of the usual renders, and what is conceivably, the first mini of mine I've actually fully painted x'D It only took me3 years xD
As always with these things, if the files aren't showing up initially you can hit the "Check for new downloads" button on your downloads tab or just give it an hour or two to catch up, these are the sites busiest days between me and TMC and it shows~
Thanks,
~Pipes

As always, another month, another kit set~
It's taken me a few iterations of vehicle esque stuff, and they always kinda have to grow on me a bit post release, but I actually think I hit a pretty good aesthetic with the PufferFish this time~ A handful of weapon options/mounts to cover a decent range of things, and a few wing variants to work with gives a pretty decent amount of variable assembly for something that is otherwise pretty simple~
(I will be including the base, and base gubbin that's slotted for a 1/4" acrylic rod, but the corresponding slot in the drone will need to be added pre or post print.
And then there's PunchHands McBigFists, and they don't need an introduction tbf. This was just a little kitbash kit I did to add a lil' somethin to March. It's a really simple bit of kit, but I think it's fun so why not xD
As always pre-supports are done by Atlas3DSS and once I get the filesets back I'll test everything~ (I might also actually paint a PunchBoi, imagine that,)
Raw Fies should be up on the 3rd or 4th of March depending, with pre-supports following after that~
The next kit lineup is going back to the Original, and doing a complete remodel of Eclipse. The one that started it all~ I want to really make this one just, a good kit x'D It's what started everything after all~

That's good because the patreon message said my next payment due was may so I was worried i missed the drone jet.

2023-04-04 22:11:25 +0000 UTCJust in time xD ~Pipes

2023-03-31 06:02:15 +0000 UTCJust found out about you, hopefully I joined in time for this sweet ass drone.
Matthew Town
2023-03-31 05:10:02 +0000 UTCA little bit shilly question. Have you evaluated at some point to split the part per materials? It could allow us to print the model with different color resins and not having to paint the models :) Even if they are more parts, could be like building a gunpla
Dzym Fardreamer
2023-03-13 09:24:18 +0000 UTCJust checked this morning and it's solved iteself. Looks like the sustems just needed a bit to synch up as you indicated. Can't wait to get my Saturn 8k hooked up and start printing. Got a huge backlog to work on buying up to build an army for my hooved fish people communist army.
Andrea Doyle
2023-03-08 10:07:31 +0000 UTCCG&T can sometimes take a bit to pull the pledge info through patreon. It's usually set up within an hour or so at the latest~ Right now I'm not seeing any of the pledge info on the cg&t account, so it just hasn't pulled it over yet~ ~Pipes
Poyper
2023-03-08 02:28:19 +0000 UTCJust signed up and I'm not seeing any files available on the site. What am I doing incorrectly? Is it something that kight fix itself tomorrow?
Andrea Doyle
2023-03-08 02:23:06 +0000 UTCI know I want it lol make a three foot tall mini mech
Patttar
2023-03-05 09:33:33 +0000 UTCThanks for the reply, I did the maths based on the chart in the melee assembly guide and built a chart showing all % scaling. How can I share the picture with my fellow Pipeheads?
Michael Purvis
2023-03-05 09:27:47 +0000 UTCMinor complaint, the preplate for one of the punchbots has the hands mirrored from how they are in the render, so the drawn back fist is not actually a clenched fist when printed. Pretty fixable, of course.
CaptainKeen
2023-03-04 21:15:00 +0000 UTCUnfortunately I don't really have a universal scaling guide. I recommend loading the pieces into something like blender and adjusting the scaling as need for your specific kitbash~
Poyper
2023-03-04 20:29:09 +0000 UTCI have been playing about with my collection and want to mix and match, do you have something akin to a scaling chart a bit like you gave with the melee kit that will tell me how to scale? I suppose I could do the maths myself but maybe you've already done it. Something like Mako arms are1.x times bigger than Odonata etc.
Michael Purvis
2023-03-04 20:19:28 +0000 UTCThese are fantastic!
Einar_47
2023-03-03 16:39:41 +0000 UTCAmazing, creative work. So glad I found your patreon! Everyone is doing grim dark blah ... Not enough mecha or robot work being done, so thank you!

2023-03-03 16:15:54 +0000 UTCGreat work!
James Rowley
2023-03-01 19:13:14 +0000 UTCI might just actually paint one x'D Just gotta scale those grippers up~ it's all the same joints so it'll all technically work together~
Poyper
2023-03-01 06:14:32 +0000 UTCI think PunchBot might be my most favorite thing ever, and I'm going to have to make one as soon as I can. I think the only thing that would be better is adding Punch capabilities to the Orca. I love me some melee mechs.
Ranelpia
2023-03-01 06:00:10 +0000 UTCIt's all the same joint structure, so most stuff is compatible with some amount of scaling~
Poyper
2023-02-28 00:14:47 +0000 UTCthese are awesome I dont suppose they may be compatible with previous models? I just got a bunch of them on cg&t and like the ones that can play well together
Patttar
2023-02-28 00:10:48 +0000 UTCi just made an enforcer with a big fist... now i need to make another FOR EVEN COOLER FIST
DerutaBlu
2023-02-27 21:19:25 +0000 UTChttps://imgur.com/a/hmGmkG2 (old WIP from the discord) They're pretty close in scale~
Poyper
2023-02-27 17:50:04 +0000 UTCBoth the Punchbot and Pufferfish has some incredible silhouettes! And I am loving all of these wing and hardpoint options. A++ as usual.

2023-02-27 16:42:35 +0000 UTCI believe you can find the name of it from the 1977 fish related song by the artist Heart. But Pipes can correct me if I'm wrong. ("You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick...")

2023-02-27 15:06:21 +0000 UTCThe drones look amazing, and the punchybots are a fun bonus!
Kyle Bentley
2023-02-27 14:37:23 +0000 UTCBut the grabby hands already exist for the Commander model xD https://comicsgamesandthings.com/shop/manage/pipermakes/product/railfist-grabbyhands/ ~Pipes

2023-02-27 14:36:07 +0000 UTCThere is a bit for that, yeah x'D ~Pipes
Poyper
2023-02-27 14:34:56 +0000 UTCSorry, this is awesome, but is it equivalent to any current model from James, if I wanted to field it?
Phil Eaton
2023-02-27 14:31:15 +0000 UTCGod dammit pipes, why you do this, now I have to go and remodel all my enforcers with newer bigger and better grabby hands

2023-02-27 14:13:59 +0000 UTCI agree, though I love the drones those Big Punchy bots are something I didn't know I needed. :) They are cute and awesome. Thank you!

2023-02-27 14:10:34 +0000 UTCDoes one of the punch bots flip off the enemy.

2023-02-27 14:09:39 +0000 UTCNot gonna lie... I may be more excited about the big punchy hands than the drones.
