Hi John. I'm Dannyman from your discord server.
I need to request a refund on Order 138003757. Cults3D is not letting me download your files in batches. Without that functionality, I cannot do what I have to do. It's stressing me out and trust me, I don't need that right now.
I just woke up. Good morning!
Just so we are clear, you want a refund on the entire order? The Full Quixote, The Full Dominator, and the Full Cervantes? Along with a few smaller files?
Beat,
JBR
Just everything in order 138003757
You've got it. Refund submitted.

Would you happen to have the pauldrons for Dominus knights?
For Factory models? No, sorry. But, if you can track down SolutionLesn 's files, he might have something you are looking for. A lot of his files were nuked, so good hunting. They are beautiful work.

Hi there I was wondering if you had any of your proxy models that could be used as Acastus models?
Thanks for writing!
Project Gigante and Gigante-B are both big bruisers that fit that category as proxies, but each has their own distinct looks.
You can also mix and match their legs, torsos, and weaponry.

Be advised, they're pricey, because they're so big.

Thanks for looking!

Hello and thank you for writing!
I don't sculpt one-for-one replicas, but my Dominator series of mechs can be used as proxies. Take a look at the collection here...

Do you have a heavy stubber for questing knights?
Here is one of my earliest versions of the part. I used triple minigun barrels instead of a single one.

Ty boss
hello just got your
Suturus Pattern Lance For Questing And Dominator Knights but seems like is missing the fore arm for the grippedlance
I mean this is not big issue for me since i also got the shield patter from you and i got the forearm from there but yeah for you to know !
I will get the files updated. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. And thank you for the sales!
Best,
JBR
Hi! I've been very happy with all of these models, but I would like to let you know that in the Quixote download package, the unsupported upper right leg appears to be a duplicate of the unsupported upper left leg. This left me very confused for a minute, but I'm printing the right upper leg with the supported version for now. I thought I'd let you know. Thank you for the work on these and I look forward to expanding my collection of these minis!
Thank you for letting me know. I will remedy that situation when I get back into town (on the road right now).

Hey again, I was curious if you had a model for the shoulder multi-laser for the Questoris size knights for sale? Thanks
Hello! Are you asking about the auxiliary laser that can be mounted at the same hard point as the aux shield, minigun, or other smaller weapon?
I do offer those as part of a kit, but if you IM me on my Discord (link in my profile) I will slide you the file.
If you are talking about the main laser cannon, I offer them here for free..

I messaged you on your Discord. Ty again.
apologies for my ignorance but do the bundle (The Full Dominator: Chassis, Armor, Superheavy Laser Cannon, Plasma Cannon, Flamer Cannon, and Harpoon Of Doom. Plus More!) come with the bodies, legs, and arms for them or is it just accessories? Your work looks amazing! thank you for your time
Thanks!
The Full Dominator comes with everything Dominator. All those heavy weapons, a variety of armor styles, and even the tread-legs update.

I'm not sure if you take suggestions, but it would be great if you could make some other weapons for the raptor for melee. Specifically a warhammer and a flail or the like. Those seem to be the only two things unrepresented from OPR. Love your stuff and plan on horrifying my students at games club soon.
Great suggestions!
I will put them on the list.

JBR
Hello. I’m pretty new to the game, but I love printing and painting the miniatures, so forgive the ignorance. What would this model serve as a proxy for?
Thanks for writing!
I assume, by your timing, that you're writing about the new Dominators I just uploaded (Cults doesn't let me know which specific model you're referring to).
Dominators have been used as proxies by customers for the Valiant, Tyrant, and Castellan walkers from The Big Game Company, depending on load-out.
If you have any further questions, feel free to join the Discord (invite in my profile) and IM me.

I havent forgot about posting some pictures. Ive been super busy. I have boxes my resin comes in stuffed with your parts! Just gotta find the time to glue the stuff together and post pictures. I have some really cool things planned for them though.
Excellent! No rush, but when you get those pics up, please tag me @johnbearross on IG or upload them to the Discord (link in profile).

Hello, i have been looking at your range and your sculpts are amazing.
Do you by chance have a merchants licence as i would love to sell physical prints and support you at a higher tier.
I looked on your patreon and only saw 1 level available and nothing regarding selling physical 3D Prints.
Best wishes.
I am not currently offering any additional vendor licenses at this time. Thank you, though.

The code LOWKEY20 doesn't appear to be working. Thanks!
Stand by...
Should be working now. Thank you!

Works! Thanks!
Hey thanks for the subscribe on YT. I subscribed back. I'm gonna start building my channel more. I want to lean more towards the prInting and miniture side.
Just curious what modeling software you use? Im currently jumping back and forth between 3d builder/blender.
I am a long-time Rhino3d user. It works well with my process, but the others you mentioned are good software suites, too. The tuck is to find something that is compatible with your mind. Thankfully, most of the software companies provide free samples.
Blender (I hear) has a learning curve, but makes great files.
Best,
JBR
Ah Im gonna have to check out Rhino3d I havent heard of them. Do they offer free trials? Im gonna get a new computer come tax time more power.
They do, indeed. Rhino3d.com and look under the downloads tab. Should be the full version free for 90 days.
Best,
JBR
Oh I see. Is this a Mac only program? It looks great for man made objects but they didn't give any examples of organic designs. Pretty cool stuff. Ive been making a butt plate extender for a rifle looks perfect for that. Ive been trying to use tinker cad ha its not so good.
Rhino does well with hard-edged subjects. Blender and Zbrush are better for organic items. It is a Windows software, but I think they have a Mac version as well.
Here's the system requirements.
Thanks man happy Thanksgiving if your a yank like me.
Sorry, just saw this after my turkey and ham-induced slumber. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!

Hello! I am new to knights and was wondering if the The Full Cervantes. Would be best for the cerastus I am working on. will this pack be best for load out changes to try out other versions and customization?. I was also curious if you had recommendations for the smaller mechs specifically the moirax? Thank you for the help!!
First, thanks for writing!
If you want to experiment and swap out the four Cervantes variants and their four armor sets, the Full Cervantes bulk file deal really is the best way to do that.
A favorite of mine is the Cazador's weaponry mixed with the Sicario's stealthy armor. If you do buy, make sure you enter the code LOWKEY20 at checkout for 20% off, if you're not a member of my patreon. If you are a member of my patreon, remember to enter your 50% code.
As far as smaller mech weapons, all my weapons for that size class are free, and cross compatible with all the frames. If you want to experiment, the Basic Raptor is a free frame. I would magnetize or print multiples of the weapons you like, including lightning cannons, assault claws, and other weapons from that model you mentioned.
Take a look here...

Hello. I'm sorry if this question is dumb but I am looking for the dominator innerframe itself but I keep finding only the armor and weapons. Can u please leave the link to the dominator innerframe/skeleton itself
Hello, and thanks for writing!
I haven't really had a request for the frames by themselves, and usually sell them as package deals.
The Dominator is available in six different frame/armor/weapons combinations, such as the Hell ringer-R, the Hellbringer-C, or the Gunslinger-S.
If you select one of these options, be sure to use the code LOWKEY20 for 20% off at checkout.
Otherwise, I will have to see about how to break things down without the main guns.
Best,
JBR
Ahaaaa you mean the frame is available in all the packs?
If that's the case then that solve it
Yes, the frame is included in specific combo packs like this one, for example...
The separate weapons packs (lasers, flame cannons, plasma, harpoon, etc) don't have the frame in them.
Best,
JBR
I posted pics of the finished, painted models on Reddit. Are you good with my posting links to their pages here on cults with them as well?
Absolutely! Thank you for sharing. Do you mind if I share your pics on Instagram and other spots? Full credit to TheOldDozer, of course.
Best,
JBR
Not at all, sir! Thank you!
Hi I made a mistake and bought the weapons deal for the surturus dominator instead of the full dominator. Is there any way I can swap out the files I bought and pay the difference?
Yes. Absolutely. I will refund your purchase immediately. Also, use the checkout code LOWKEY20 to knock 20% off your purchase.
Code is good until the end of the year.
Best,
JBR
Thanks! I appreciate it a lot. The full dominator is out of my price range right this second but ill get it with next week's paycheck!
Refund request is in. Enjoy!
Be sure to use that code.

I brought the Project Kyphos and the full Cervantes can you tell me which units these represent in OPR please, also I have an MMf account can my purchases be transferred over there?
Absolutely, Yes!
PM me your MMF handle on the Discord (invite link in my bio) and I will get you hooked up.

Thanks, can you confirm which units represent the Kyphos and Cervantes in OPR
I am working on conversions for all my mechs for OPR. More to come.

Hi!
For the last month I've been playing around with every grimdark giant robot file on the internet, I wanted to magnetize it to be all eight mankind questing knights. After a ton of fussing and cussing, I found The Dominator. It is hands down the most versatile, easy to build, magnetizable file out there. Thanks for making it, along with tons of free files and adapters! With some 3d model know-how I managed to make everything I needed.
In the future it'd be awesome to see:
An adapter for Heads.
slice-tooled the joint from one of your heads and boolean'd it onto my custom one, haha.
An adapter for shoulder weapons.
I slice tooled the top of the magnet plate from Melta1, mirrored it and that ended up working perfectly!
A twin melta shoulder weapon.
I shrank down the molten matter thrower, and slapped my makeshift adapter onto it!
A multi-laser shoulder weapon.
I shrank down the C-Beamer-1 and it looks perfect, same method as above!
Heraldry Shields
There are tons of them on the site, and I think the Maggie has some shield generators. It'd be cool to have some classic options with an adapted kit as well. I made my own simple one same method as above!
Thanks again for making gigs and gigs of files for us! I'll be buying your stuff for a while to come, I'm sure!
Thank you very much for the kind comments! I am glad to see the modularity of the files used to the fullest.
If you haven't already, please join the Discord (link in my bio). Those are some great ideas, and should be shared.

JBR
Hi, I want to convert my cerastus acheron on to be a lancer
Do you sell a bundle with just the shield and lance?
Thanks
Thanks for writing!
I have a couple options.
Project Iron Horse comes with a variety of shields, lances, and hands in various positions.
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/project-ironhorse-bulk-discount-conversion-kit-for-lancing-knights
If you just want the lances, here it is.
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/suturus-pattern-lance-for-questing-and-dominator-knights
And for just the shields, there's this file.
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/suturus-pattern-power-shields-for-mechs-and-knights
These shoulder adapters will interchange with the GeeDubz factory kit.
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/project-cervantes-factory-upper-arm-adapters
I also offer a few other parts that are for my Cervantes line of tall mechs, but which will interchange with the kit you mentioned.
https://cults3d.com/en/design-collections/johnbearross/cervantes-class-mech-and-knight-parts
Enjoy!
Best,
JBR
Awesome thanks for the reply, is there a difference between the project iron horse lance/weapons and the full project cav knight?
They share the same files, but the Project Iron Horse has more variants than Project Caballero. Caballero was a full frame and armor set. Iron Horse concentrates more on the conversion parts.

Hi John Bear Ross.
Love your models, I have not bought anything yet but I will in a nearby future.
Can one buy a license from you as well?
Thanks! I am not currently offering licenses for commercial production, sorry.
