If naut, buoy will you be unhappy!

In each photo we have, a reference model Marauder at reasonably correct scale, my version of the Marauder, my Buck Rogers Starfighter. I might add a couple more details here and there but this one is just about ready for some test printing. Again, I've taken some of my inspiration from the Mego toy.

Starting to come together.

LOL If I thought I could make a good Hawk custom, I'd consider making his ship as well. The Marauder canopy is going to be a real pain in the butt.

Any talk of vehicles @DSTZach? If you don't make them, I might have to. LOL I was looking at HISS tanks the other day thinking a Minimated one would be cute.

All of us on this planet have talents that manifest in different ways. One has to be sharp of mind to display the level of wit in your posts. To paraphrase: "Some witty pun that works on multiple levels when you think about it for a second." - somethingcleverandrelevantheadsmate

Hang mate is always a bit of fun. Looking forward to seeing your next batch.

Q

You have a real talent for Minimate customizing. I like how you've captured the DST promo photo style as well.

Amazing as always Luke!

I've been talking with some people lately about hats. I added a customizable cowboy hat to my thingiverse designs. If you have a thingiverse account, you can click customize and change some parameters to create your own version. Setting include things like how tall that hat is, the radius of the brim, the curve of the brim, etc. You can check it out at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6320501. I hope someone finds it useful.

I still prefer a tampo hoodie myself. But that looks better than I expected from the design sheets. Nice looking set overall.

Those look great!

Regarding my back of napkin look at consumable cost, I realized today that Padrino's printer appears to not require any toner or ink. The coloring agents are in the paper/film/sticker if I understand correctly. This probably means a good shelf life for consumables and less cost difference per page than I thought.

Nice!

Nice work. The guy on the top right made me think of the alien assassins sent to take out McLeod in Highlander 2. I hope everyone who reads this is lucky enough not to get the reference or have seen the movie. LOL

It took some more fiddling around but I got my workflow setup for quarter page decal printing. I can cut my pages down the middle both ways and make four. This means I can print more often and waste less sticker paper. I don't really want to show the project I'm working on yet so the pic below was almost pointless. Nevertheless ... What ended up happening before is that I would want to finish a custom but only need a couple of stickers. I would fill the sheet with something, but it was never filled with unique stuff. This will effectively quadruple the value I get from a package of sticker paper. It really just came down to setting up a custom paper size in my software and in my printer and messing around a bit. PS I think I might invest in a paper cutter. Does anyone have any general advice about these products? I would probably just grab something cheap from a craft store. I'm referring to a simple physical device that will allow measuring and cutting straight lines. Not like those vinyl cutting machines or whatever.

The beginnings of the Draconian Marauder. The main enemy ship of Buck Rogers.

Peacemaker is 125% scale. Roughly the same size as 2.5 " mate. As usual my photography skills are not helping. LOL In person, you can see Heisenberg's glasses and some detail on his jumpsuit.

You've nailed it to the perch.

Doesn't rhyme but gave me a good laugh anyway!
