So I figured I'd show off a little, and share what I'm working on, and the prints once pritned.

Todays project has been:
Erwin Tank, with AC20, LRM5 and Small Laser:

There'll be a few more Erwin variants to do, then I'll be doing its sister tank, the George.


Also been working on my 'Universal Mass System' based collection of weapons (the Erwin uses these).
So far, basically all Inner Sphere Ballistics have been done:

As well as around half the Clan. I'll post more / renders later.

I have plans to do sseveral more 'inspired' vehicles, such as a few based on the Morningstar, Destrier and Gulltroppr in the future.
Though if you guys have any suggestions, feel free to make them!

Erwin and George is it eh?

What about same weight class: Ideas of March and Maneater

Hey PM me....I got a "little" Mad Cat Mk II for you if you want to try to print that as well.

[AWOL 01]

Oi! I see you using SolidWorks! What else do you use it for?

Also, nice work! Those ballistic models look great!

Yes, fine strong names I thought.
Picked completely at random of course.
(Too used to dealing with the GW paranoia. , but it makes interesting having different names)

I do take commissions. Feel free to shoot me a PM.
As long as the model is sound, I can print it - but we can discuss that in PM.

What don't I use Solidworks for!

It does the ironing, goes and gets my takeaways, polishes my shoes~

In all seriousness, my original background was a mechanical engineer.
But while good at the CG stuff, I sucked at the paperwork / ISO standard stuff (took me forever), so 3D printing was the natural progression for me.

Other stuff I've done (semi random selection)
Some Models:

Spoiler

OLD collection of Lightsabers, done on the old version of Photoview.
Wish I still had the models so I could do a modern re-render and print a few.
May just have to remake them.

Especially this one.


This was for an D20 Modern Campaign I'm in. I was allowed to use them if I could show the GM how they worked. (Explosive, White Phos, AP, Flechette, Hollow Point, Tracer ammo. I think there was more, it sort of abused the ammo creation system and my absurd wealth + profession scores. )




Various 28mm Heavy Rifles.


And my absolute favourite one (and one of the favourite models I've ever made):



Some terrain and Dread accessories.

Some Prints:

Spoiler

Cat-o Sicarius


Hover Tank (Saladin? I forget, lost a lot when my Hard Drives died ) and a gabriel.
That's also an extended base I made for the IBS mechs.


Old-style weapons.
Lost most / all of em, redoing it now with the 'mass system'.


Calibration Cubes, Nerf Shotgun Shell and an Epic-Scale Vindicator.

28mm Stealth Infantry.


Various bits.


1:1 scale ammunition. (Was just a fun little side project)

And the printer:

Nice! I'm about to start my final year studying to be an ME as well. Those models look great! After learning to model in SolidWorks it's pretty much impossible for me to model in any other program.

P.S., Dreadnoughts are just too cool.

Might have designed some HAGs:

Edited by Ovion, 13 June 2016 - 08:04 PM.

[Ovion]

Ok,. so I've done a few variants and would like opinons:

This is HAG40 (A, B, C) / HAG30 (A, B, C) / C-Gauss Rifle / HAG20 (AB, C) / C-AP Gauss Rifle



Which HAGs look best? A, B or C?
(or is it a mix?)

[Karl Streiger]

Mix?
C; B; A;A;A

Love the asymmetric of HAG 40 and HAG 30

[Ovion]

Or I could just make all of them available as alternate options?

I'm a fan of Bravo options for the 30 and 40, with Alpha for the 20.
