Seriously, if you live in TO or nearby in the 416 or 905, it would be great to 'see' this in person.
Any chance?
Got my allowance this week ;-)

That is actually what brought me to this thread. As I don't normally frequent the fan art forum.

[Firefly]

Just curious if you're willing to share the print file for those of us who have a 3D printer.

your loss. Least venomous, most positive and contributive forum on the site.

Bad News: Sales of this item cannot be authorised at this time due to licensing restrictions.
Good News: This is otherwise amazing Fan Art and you do your craft a service.

Yeah.

Worse news is it seems that no one in charge (not IGP or PGI since their rights are limited, talking about at TOPPS, IWM or Microsoft) seems to understand... make them, and we will buy them. License the 3D files for us to make them, and we will buy them at little investment from their side.

Pretty well sucks for us, the consumer and fan, that the PTBs either don't get it, or don't care.

[Paradoxum]

How about if I just pay for the raw material and a donation for letting me use the 3D printer, and not actually buying the thing itself?

Ho-ly-crap. This is awesome.

No, it's an atlas.

[GBot]

Is there any possibility of releasing the source files or posting this to http://www.thingiverse.com/ or similar? I would absolutely love to print myself one (or a 12"++ (; )

Great work and kudos to your for making it modular and posable!

This thought crossed my mind. But would that be crossing that line ?

Whoa awesome response to this! glad everyone likes it! And thanks for the comments! Funny how Kotaku is bringing people from the regular forums over to fanart... hopefully more people into the game too.

There's been a lot of inquires about the files. Unfortunately, there's just too many parties involved in MW, and once it goes on the interwebs, it can get out of control quick. I don't want to be opening myself up to anything I can't control... so hope you understand, but I won't be releasing files.

I'd like nothing more than to make these for those interested, but for the same reasons above I won't be selling them either. There are so many parties attached to MW, I wouldn't even know who even 'could' give the OK.

As for the Atlas, It's roughly a bit heavier than my phone.. (z10) (sorry, us Canadians have weird scale comparisons... nickles, beagles, and phones that no one else has. ) Funny how the title is in inches, and people still confuse them for feet, when I should be using centimeters. Anyways, if you're sufficiently confused. I simply don't have a scale right now...

As for the finish.. It only looks like VHS when you're about 20 cm away from it. Looks a lot stripier in photos because we're in a studio shooting environment. Just think, each millimeter has roughly 7 layers... I'll probably leave this guy as is, but once I get around to designing some better joints for the hips and legs for Atlas v2, I'll try out those options you guys have suggested.. acetone, putty. etc. Files if I have to.. Maybe even paint..

I'm pretty sure uploading it to Thingiverse, shapeways etc is a violation of their respective terms of use; He has no rights to the intellectual property.
