Awesome stuff! Can I share them on my socials? I can tag you if you're on Instagram/twitter

I have neither (yes, I love partially under a rock) but feel free to use them however you like!

Thanks a ton :)

No worries! If any more weapon designs pop up in the future, id be happy to provide more pictures for you

50mm is the largest one I have done for now. I should look into 60mm and 80mm as well, but also the larger ones. More items on my never ending to-do list :D

Send me an email at bitsblitzdesigns@gmail.com

I will try to resolve it ASAP! Thanks for pointing it out!

It has been fixed

Thanks mate! By the way, use the promo code MYBAD if you want 15% off your next purchases.

Regarding those ships you've seen on Pinterest, those are my designs as well. Malika was my username on various 40k themed forums. I did a lot of ship designs for Vanguard Miniatures.

Ha haaa! I knew it. I also asked Bluesquat, who says he's been inspired by your aesthetic. He actually already grassed you up so I've been having a nose. I have tons of Jon's stuff from Vanguard but only print my spaceships, alas, as I need to rescale. I really like a lot of your starships (as you might have noticed from my purchasing history) so if you do any more tech-less-gothy-ad-mechy stuff I'll be all over it (although I understand that you probably can't make the stls to those available, alas). Thanks so much for the reply and also the code: much appreciated as I've got even more of your stuff on my 'when I've saved up' wishlist. Keep up the good work and cheers! :). Kipples.

Sadly enough I can't sell the STLs of the designs I've done for Vanguard Miniatures since they now have the rights over those designs. Which is a real shame since I've probably got several dozens of designs that are in Vanguard Miniatures' forever lasting production queue.

Jeez, that must be frustrating. It certainly can take a while for companies selling physical product to get stuff through the system. Then again . . . you could always do some similar ones over here . . . (!).

The human/infantry models will most likely look off when printed in 28mm scale, but the terrain parts will work just fine (even though some details might look very clunky). Here is one of my vehicles printed in 28mm scale, and here are my bar table and crate of fish in 28mm scale.

All my stuff is generally designed with 6mm/8mm gaming in mind. The humans in my universe are anywhere between 6.5mm and 8mm tall, so my stuff is designed with that in mind.

Hey mate, thank you so much for pointing this out to me! I was totally under the impression that the Beetle Shuttle was the complete kit. I've updated the ZIP file. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Awesome! Thank you and no worries! That's great news, I'll download the update asap!!

I feel that I'm not really able to do full unique Titan classes yet. I'm kinda running into the limitations of SketchUp Regarding that, I did once do two designs for Vanguard Miniatures' 3mm range: the Hound and Vulture which sadly enough were never put into production. However, one of their other designers did ended up doing a different version of the Vulture which did see the light of day. Their Jackal is also pretty sweet!

Totally overlooked that one! My original purpose for this kit was not to include those bits, but I overlooked that in the description of the kit. The 10x small bits have now been added to the kit. It's the ZIP file "40mm round bases - tech shanty texture - bits"

Any specific designs? Where are you based? Here are some options, depending on where you are located:

EU: MegaSonicPunch
UK: Rok Minis or Mighty Minis UK
US: Metal Oak Casting Studios

I'm at Canada, interested in your 40mm Flight Stand bases

Awesome! Can't wait :)

Hey there, 50mm and 60mm round bases are next in my planning. Other ones will follow after that.

Thanks, I will wait for you to make the tank bases, rather than buy them from anyone else. I like your style

Hey mate! I have indeed been pondering about ruined versions of my buildings. Several folks have been requesting ruined versions of my Alpha Hab structures and Tech Shanties. I think my main issue is that I'm not sure if I can make them good enough. But I do have to look into that!

I await with much anticipation. And, given your evident skills, I feel you are being too modest! Also, while I'm here, I'm finally (FINALLY) getting round to printing some of this, after three dead printers (two DOA: great!). I want to do as much in resin as possible. Can I just slap them on the plate as is? I've noticed that some of your images are resin so you've clearly managed it. Did you support or just plop them on the plate? It would be very handy to know before I do something stoooopid. Cheers and good luck (love the new stuff just gone up also: you're on a roll!).

It would be handy to do supports for some of the more complex buildings. The Alpha Hab Block One for example might not need supports (perhaps only for the separate roofs). But it kinda depends on the buildings.

Hmmm, I'll have a look. Maybe see what the Chitubox/BambuStudio auto-algorithm says and go from there. Cheers for the reply – much appreciated.

PS: Sorry I didn't firm up that I might try some FDM also. Again, could I just slap them on the plate and go? Does that work or do I need to support them? Given that some of the pieces are hollow there might be whopper overhangs? It might be nice to have solid stuff for re-scaling and hollowing for resin (and infill printing for FDM)? Sorry for the hassle. Thanks.

The latest buildings (modular Beta Hab Blocks and Alpha Hab Block One) can be done in FDM without too much hassle. The walls can be printed "vase style", the separate roofs might need some supports though.

Let me see what I can do about fully solid buildings.

Thanks for the info (and maybe the solid building: don't knacker yourself out, though – what you've done is lovely). I'm re-learning FDM currently as it's changed a lot in 4 years but even having domed or arched interiors to the hollowed models would help when flat on the plate. It's the long bridging required for flat surfaces parallel to the plate that the slicer doesn't like, clearly. Angling the inside tops of the interior cut-outs would obviate that issue, most likely. Thanks for any efforts anyway.

By the way, did you just purchase my modular Beta Hab Blocks and Alpha Hab Block One twice?

😂 That's because I love your stuff so much! Yes, something weird happened with the purchase. I asked Hugo about it and he said it was fine. But if I've paid you twice clearly it isn't? Just let me know anyway.

In my sales I see that you've purchased my items twice. Check that with Hugo one more time. If he can't fix that for you I can either do a refund or get you some free items

Will do: cheers for the heads-up :)

I don't have any bigger ones yet, they will come later.

They will come later. First 40mm flight stands, and then most likely 32mm cavalry bases.

Hi there, the bases are without supports.

I might look into it. For the Alpha Hab Tower, you can also get the multipart version which has a separate roof.

already done ^^

Hey there, you might check out MegaSonicPunch or Mighty Minis UK, they sell printed versions of my designs

Here are the links (it might be possible that Cults3d will delete those links)

Hey there, I know that the Alpha Hab Tower can easily be done in both resin and FDM. Pics of the printed version of the tower show both materials. The Tech Shanty can also be printed in resin, the pics shown are done in resin print.

Brilliant. Thanks for the reply. I noticed straight after I posted that the tower was in panels (doh) but couldn't see a way to edit. I'll get the Shanty and see how we go! Thanks.

You can print the tower panels separately, but from what I've heard from other folks, they prefer to print it as a single piece, perhaps keep the roof and balconies separate.

Oh, interesting. I'll have a look, thanks. I do prefer not to have to glue if possible. Introduces weakness (not least in terms of my lame modelling skills :(!

The crew members are around 7mm tall, some a bit shorter, some a bit taller. You'd probably have to resize each one of them individually if you want them all to be exactly 6mm tall.

I assume you're referring to the Alpha Hab Tower? The building is more or less 107mm tall, 44.5mm wide, 56mm deep.
