This one's a bit weird. Instead of wheels or tracks, Team Assegai uses spheres suspended in magnetic fields to propel their vehicles. These spheres are covered with tiny "whiskers" made of pure carbon-fiber-mono-molecular-trilobal-reversed-polarity unobtanium, which work like the hairs on the legs of flies and spiders to give the Assegai vehicles both incredible traction -- even the ability to climb nearly-vertical surfaces! -- and the ability to move in any direction without changing facing.
Team Javelin uses two different base hulls, one for direct-fire combat vehicles and one for combat support vehicles. The Main Battle Tank and Self-Propelled Artillery Carrier both come in two versions: one with a thin support rib under the main gun tube to prevent breakage, and one without.
Been a while, blog! It's been a rough year, what with losing my job, losing my dog, and losing two good friends to cancer. But at long last, I've started making some stuff again.
First up: Team Seax, 3mm wheeled armor force!
Okay, not very original, but still. My problem is that I'm just not a very creative person, so coming up with some cool original designs can be a real struggle for me. Here are a few creative-ish designs that are now up on my Cults3D store.
The Imperious PTERYGA Interceptor
Inspired by the many experimental flying-wing designs of the 1940's and 50's, the Pteryga (which is cleverly the Greek word for "wing") is a long-range interceptor with a super low front profile. The pilot actually lays prone instead of sitting up.
I've had most of these done for years, but was only recently galvanized to start uploading them. On a side note, since CGTrader refuses to honor the notice and reply processes of the DMCA, no one's heard of MiniHoarder, and Shapeways has become almost openly hostile to its shop owners, I've started moving all my designs to Cults3D, which can be found here: https://cults3d.com/en/users/javelin98/3d-models
Here are some of the 3mm-scale combat teams that will soon be available through Cults:
