Thank you to everyone who gave me loads of colour ideas for the Gryphon. It was so hard to make my mind up so I eventually chickened out as nothing was really calling to me and went with the original game colour way (last photo).
I struggled though as I did not want to remask the complex curved helmet! I used artist's acrylics Cerulean Blue and it took 10-12 coats and was still patchy and you could really see the brush strokes. Argh! (photo2 ) I let it dry overnight, sanded it (yes you can sand out brush marks) and then used some Tamiya Sky Blue to give a final more opaque top coat. (photo 3) The whole helmet now has a gloss coat on it as I need to have that for the decals and metallics that are coming (photos 1 and 4). There's also some missing ear detail which I need to sort and a fair few other details to add as well which I have partly printed. Once that's all on, I hope the matt coat will dull down those brush strokes but I may yet sand them again... They will look perfect before I weather them!

I can’t decide what color to paint the gryphon. The original helmet had a bright blue dragon/wolf thing but I don’t fancy bright blue. There’s already too much black so I’m wondering about a navy blue.
What do you think?

More work on my Titanfall helmet. Hand painted black. The helmet in the game is well beat up so any wonky edges should be easy enough to hide with weathering?
I hadn’t realized how much of the side was black so that’s a lot to hand paint plus some silver on there.

Those of you who know me may have noticed that I like Star Wars and I want an SW rug for my lounge but I wanted it to be subtle.
This was too subtle for most of my friends though! Perhaps the second photo will help.

I’ve been working on this Titanfall helmet for a few years now. It’s a print designed by Kykel on Thingiverse and I’ve finally got some paint on it…. Not my best works and I’m still not sure what colour to paint the gryphon I’ve designed instead of the original blue wolf/dragon. It’s getting finished though and that’s the main thing!

I love playing video games as well as tabletop games and it inspired me to create this set of ingress points and shortcuts bases on a recent game I played.
There are wall runs, climbable walls, cranes with ropes to climb up, jump here markers (you know the ones that always show you where to jump across to the next gantry!), lifts (elevators) and if it all gets too much, you can always stop and meditate...

We've unlocked another stretch goal!

I designed some really large and some smaller rocks for line of sight blocking and heavy cover but you couldn't put a mini on them - well no more! These rocks are playable and you can easily get a couple of minis on the smaller ones and a squad on the larger ones. Plus they come with the option of Shattepoint compatible walkway grooves.

Painting the Transport Delta. It’s already had a black prime and a dusting of chocolate white Montana. That was very grainy!
I pre-shaded with black primer before adding a few layers on Mr Color MS White. It’s actually a light grey.
Next up are details.
Sadly, it’s way too big to fit in my airbrush booth so I was juggling putting pieces together to get the colour match right. Time will tell if I succeeded!

Having height to play on is so cool and I designed these gantries to be stackable and fit with Star Wars Shatterpoint walkways. They have 3 different tops, 4 different handrails or you can run with none. There are also two types of lift (elevator), 3 different climbable walls and 2 types of crane to act as ingress points. You can even wall run between gantries!

Rock outcrops are a massive feature of any lava landscape and we have two sets available - the first are jagged black (or whatever colour you want!) monoliths but the second set have lava streaming out of them. I printed mine in clear filament and put a tea light inside... you can almost see it!

The early bird offer ends in just a couple of hours.

You can get the STL files to print at home on my latest Kickstarter:

I love this lava pool at the centre of the Dark Keep. All the lava is designed with lighting in mind but you can just as easily paint it. I’m loving the look of fluorescent paints to make it really glow! It’s part of my lava KickStarter coming next week.
