Well, I'm quite chuffed about this… Being still a bit wobbly at painting post-chemotherapy / radiotherapy, I've been scratching my hobby itch sculpting stuff in 3D digitally. And now, I have the (tiny) fruits of that labour!
Shields and bazookas for my 1/400 scale Gundam Skirmish project. This involves soft-plastic Gundam Gashapon and a quite neat set of rules written by a fellow Aussie, which you can find here: link I'm building an Earth Federation Ground Forces army, but I found the available figures are lacking in heavy firepower. In fact, most of the Gundams and 'grunt' GM Mobile Suits have only a beam sabre. It just didn't look right, particularly when my Zeon opponent has a LOT of things that go 'BOOM'… So I sculpted some bazookas and spare Ground-type shields in Art of Illusion…
… and sent them off to Shapeways, to print. They literally just arrived today, and I am a very happy Otaku. :) Type 61 tanks are next! - Martin |

Glad you're recovering, Martin! And very cool conversion work. |

It helps to have something to focus on other than one's treatment. Excellent work. |

Very glad you're recovering! I too am doing a 1/400 project, though it's a late 0079 space battle (have a Musai, building a modified Lepanto, and working on colony debris). All of the GMs I have either have the scatter beam gun or beam saber, so I would LOVE to get my hands on a few bazookas! Any chance you'll post them in a shop? |

Thanks for the good wishes, all! DSG – And there was I thinking there'd be no demand. :) I'll make them available through Shapeways, and post here when they're good to go. Cheers! - Martin |

Right then, those of you suffering a shortage of tiny bazookas for giant robots – rejoice! They're up on my new Shapeways store – Miniature Martin. link I've only added a mark-up of about three bucks per set, as i think they're quite expensive as they are. :( Only available in the Frosted Detail materials please note, anything coarser than these won't print things this small. Hope you like them! - Martin |

Purchased 1 of each bazooka! Thanks man, can't wait to get them. Now, if you could do a beam rifle for a Gelgoog… :D |
Darkest Star Games | 14 Feb 2017 10:12 a.m. PST |
…and I will probably get more, and shields, when I do a ground game next year. Got to get this space one done first! |
MacrossMartin | 14 Feb 2017 6:06 p.m. PST |
Whoot! Hope you like 'em, DSG! Interesting that we're mirroring each other's projects; I'm doing the ground war first, you the space battles. :) Regarding the Gelgoog's rifle – is it this one you mean (top drawing)?
- have to see what I can do. :) |

Yessir, but it'll be fragile 3d printed. :( |

Or actually, this one would be better:

Bazookas arrived! Cursory look this morning before running out the door, and they look lovely! Thank you for putting them up MM! |

Sorry, DSG, only just now saw your reply. Wish TMP had a notification system. :( Anyway, glad the bazookas arrived ok. I'm going to get some more shields for GMs (original series type) done very soon, as I'm a bit fed up of wobbly shields on mine. :) I'll probably do some scatter beam guns and 100mm guns, too. My Zeon adversary picked up a team of Gelgoogs last week, but I walloped them! I think he may also want some more beam rifles for them soon, so I'd better try to get those done! |
