I'm a huge fan of all this crazy battletech stuff...
and since 2 months i'm also a 3 printer-nerd...
so that's the first thing i've made so far...

[WVAnonymous]

The miracles of modern technology. I'm waiting for the 3D CMYK full color printers, because I can not paint anything smaller than a wall.

That is awesome, great work! How tall is it?

[The Boneshaman]

I would love to have a 3D printer. I wonder if you can print them out to be Table Top scale?

[Dee Eight]

Or you could buy the existing minatures...

[The Boneshaman]

I do/ did. I have tons of them from my old TT days.

I just like most of the MWO ones. Most of them look better than the old ones. But they don't sell any of them.... well I seen some on Ebay. But don't know the quality or if the details are messed up.

[Kiingpin]

This one is 27cm high...
i can also print TT figures...i made a lot of Warhammer 40k army stuff for a friend of mine

[Rorik Thrumsalr]

How much does it cost you to print out a figure? (Not including the printer itself) I have heard it is not cheap.

That don't look even half as good...




That thing above is the official miniature for the AS-7....

Even the really limited run Armour Cast ones look like junk by comparison to MWO ones....

A TT figure? 3€-5€ a print

However... They are taking advantage of the darkage era to redo some of the mechs... Such as the Lu wei bing (Essentially a redesigned victor), or the Gauntlet (bushwacker). Just to name a few.

after reading about PGI's debacle over the recent 3d printed locust, i am dumbfounded that 3d printing is truly this much of an issue for PGI, Sorry Solid Alexei for the way this played out but PGI NEEDS to learn the lesson here.

like i said on reddit, why is PGI not selling these already, when they work this hard to ban and mitigate everyone's access to the models.
how can they justify complaining about a lack of money when boatloads of whales would sell a kidney for a set of models in this scale or in a "large" format.

so what really is the damn issue, are they worried about the Phoenix mechs? exclude them FFS! out of the 100 or so chassis i think they have enough models to make a huge stable of products to support them even without the contentious chassis.

It has been said a million times dude, PGI doesn't have the rights to sell that type of physical merchandise. They have supposedly been in talks about acquiring those rights, but I'm guessing if those talks went anywhere we would have heard about it by now (slim chance of an announcement at Mechcon? Who knows).

Anyway I'm saddened by the perma-ban for Solid Alexei, that was a very strong reaction to the situation. I understand their desire to remove any links to commercial sites that are abusing PGI artwork for profit, but it feels ****** to know that someone lost their account over a forum post with good intentions.

The MWO Atlas looks like the Hulk's diabetic brother.

The original Atlas was ******* badass, and has always been my interpretation as the mech that strikes fear into the minds of MechWarriors.
