15mm Mad Scientist's Lab, updated

So, after much delay and gnashing of teeth (actually, changing jobs and apartments), I've been able to make some forward progress on a few of the dormant projects that have been deserving of love.

First up on that list is the 15mm Mad Scientist's Lab, which got its start a year or two ago after I had enjoyed a repeat viewing of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.  I did my best to come up with some very steampunky names, but it gets hard to use the Æ thing over and over again.  And sometimes, a tilt-adjustable restraint table is just a tilt-adjustable restraint table.

I'm a little concerned about how many times Shapeways will reject these before I can get them printed.  The techs at SW have been rather arbitrary and capricious in their rejections as of late.

MicroFleet update: The Man-Toaster Wars

Inspired by Battlestar Galactica and ripped from today's headlines (or not), here are the newest items in my MicroFleet line.  There are ships here for both the 1977 and 2004 versions of the series.

First up, the original/classic/Early War fleets:

Next, the new/rebooted/Late War fleets:

And the heavy fighters previously mentioned:

Here is a size comparison shot with a US quarter, British pound coin, and euro cent.

MicroFleet Sneak Peek

This is in progress.  Still trying to work out how to do justice to the fighters, since this is a fighter-heavy setting.

UPDATE:  Here are the Toasters and fighters!

I'm worried that the arms of the Toaster on the right (the nuToaster) are too thin to print successfully, so I may have to thicken them.

There's no excuse for this.

For no other reason than that I was in a silly mood, I give you...  the 6mm OvercompensationHammer Superheavy Tank.

Yes, I'm in counseling.

6mm Muskox Sci-Fi MRAP

There are few things that scream "Buckets of Testosterone!!!" like an MRAP.  It's as if a Humvee and a Mack truck had a litter of babies, then made them fight until only the toughest one was left.

Not long ago, Game$ Workshop released an MRAP-style vehicle (the "Taurox") for Warhammer 40k.  It could have been brilliant, but as with much of what comes out of GW these days, it was overly complicated, overly cartoonish, and overly expensive.

However, someone recently PM'ed me about making one in 6mm scale, and I couldn't resist.  And since it's so easy in digital sculpting to make a base unit and then make as many copies as needed, I decided to make as many variants of the Muskox as are found with the IG Chimera, which is itself used as the base for many different vehicles.

In addition to making a tracked variant, there are also half-tracked and wheeled variants.  Armament types include twin heavy bolters, twin laser cannons, antitank gun, flamethrower, quad-gun antiaircraft mount, MLRS system, "DeathSmite" ballistic missile, heavy mortar, and heavy howitzer.

These will eventually be up on Shapeways for sale, of course.

6mm Superheavy Sci-Fi Tanks - The FellKnife and FellPolearm

Okay, by request we have a pair of superheavy 6mm tanks -- the FellKnife and the FellPolearm.  I still can't seem to put things up for sale on Shapeways at the moment, but once that is resolved, these will be available for sale.
