How did this start? Coming from an indie development background as a sculptor I found myself needing a 3D printer for a personal project in order to bring the 3D models I had sculpted for it into reality. But the question was, what do I print after that? There's plenty of amazing stuff out there but for me it all lacked cohesion, I don't really want a bunch of unrelated things sitting on a shelf even if they are pretty rad individually.
I am a gamer among many other things and I wanted to print cool and iconic stuff from in my favourite games, collections of things like props or characters and enemies but the most I could find was one or two models to print from any given game, and of variable quality as well. So I decided that if nobody else is going to provide them I would do it myself as a fan utilizing my skills to create fan models for 3D printing, and then I did. I thought others must want these things too, or could be feeling the same way I did, and so I made them available for others as well. I do hope to one day print at least one entire set of my models in 1:10 scale! Ever since I started I have continued to work on and improve the models and prints I create, expand what I offer, and recently also lean into their use for tabletop miniatures, becoming one of the few specialists in the world for this small niche (as far as I can tell!) with a focus on accurate details and accurate scaling.
I didn't start this on a whim however, there were two things, two core ideas which form the ethos of this site: Consistency and transparency. It is important that the models are consistent in quality, represent as much from the game as possible and can act as a potential collection. But far more important is transparency and honesty, I did plenty of research on what's already out there and found far too many low poly low detail models out there hidden behind flashy rendered and textured images, obfuscating the real product. So this site only uses raw screenshots of the raw models inside the modelling software I use to create them, and photos of real prints ordered by customers or printed for myself. I am always completely honest about each model in its description, encourage zooming in on the screenshots and will tell you up front that they are far from perfect as is my rough speed sculpting style. However as of this writing thousands of hours of work since beginning I am indescribably proud of them, they're my style and for the majority they are the best or only anywhere to be found. I only hope to continue expanding my capabilities and breadth of work in the future, including moving into FDM printing for my life-size props so I can have some for myself.
