We do a little tweaking, @tim-popelier.com Need to adjust the body and the rear binder, but I do think it looks quite alright. With a proper pose, and the weapons, I think this'll look pretty rad~ It needs more fitting pauldrons too.

Gonna maybe put a few of the older mechs on the turntable over the next period of time x'D Orca Frame:

More work on this frame with a handful of pieces like the skirt as placeholders till I can model a more fitting version~ But it gives me the good ideas~ "We have Qubeley at home."

If you bought a garage kit, and inside the box was a little 3D Printed QR code that took you to the build-guide for said garage kit, instead of a printed one, would you hate that? Cause that's *probably* what I'm gonna do for the TR6.

It doesn't matter how many times I put one together, I will*never* get tired of building this head xD Plate A should be good to go on both Printers A & B. I'm going to do one more build with one of the 2 that I've printed so far and see how that feels.

PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Printers A & B's Plate B passes tolerance with a couple part tweaks~ I'll be running Plate A overnight. So far so good~

Just a quick render:

PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

That's a clean plate B. I just need to get things cleaned up and then confirm that the tolerances are still within spec, and then I can print plate A. And if that's good, then...there's still a lot of stuff left to do x'D BUT this bodes well for right now xD

More work on the main frame of the LanceBoi. Gonna put some huge Nightingale-esque wing thrusters on this one for the back sockets~ I really like this guy~ (I say that all the time, but like, I do xD)

Pray for me friends, after a few days of calibration and dialing in test prints on the two new printers, I'm running the first set of production proofs for the 1/144 TR6. It is two very full plates, and a lot can go wrong and I won't really know till 4-5 hours in (of a 17 hour print for plate B) x'D

I did one of the guest mech models for this! You should definitely give it a follow. Cause I mean, just look at them :3

Earlier today in the Plamo2026 National Exhibition, I took first in the resin modeling category with my 1/144 TR6 Woundwort~ Everybody here has basically been following along with the builds, and one of 'em, actually won me one of the comp's I've put them in~ Whole thing was a rad experience xD

I could not be more pleased with how this came out, Despite a few nitpicks that will either be ironed out, or aren't that visible xD Once I get back from the Exhibition, I'll take a few more with her next to the 1/100 but she's currently packed up for right now Hopefully they'll do well on the 29th~

We got there~ I'll put things together tomorrow for some actual display pics~ I have a few things to tweak for the final, but I *think* this is as close as I've ever been to having a reliable version I would feel confident making a few kits of~

PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

I'm so close, I think I'll actually be able to have everything done in time for the exhibition x'D Sub assemblies, waterslides, fitment, and matte top coat. I can do this~

PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

I hope I never have to do this again. I had to make custom vinyl masks for this xD and despite there being some spots that need touch ups, and whether or not everything still lines up or if I can shmoove it so that it lines up is yet to be seen, but for now, I'll take it XD

Anyway, I've been working on this skimmer when I'm not literally just eating resin woundwort bits. I really like the shapes xD

I'm almost there x'D Bottom right is the remnants of the to be reprinted again pile. Upper left is the bad pile, left is the good boy zone. In 5 hours I will know if my task is done.

I think the 1/144 revisions are done. (not counting revisions to pieces post test printing) Probably. All the details and joints have been adjusted for the re-scale. Till I print and paint this one entirely, then go back and revise it a *fourth* time. It will *never* end. (and that's fine~)

This was one of the more dubious blockouts of mine that had a handful of people goin' "I don't know about this one Pipes." I think the Narwhal is one of my more popular Fishmech to this day x'D Sometimes things look wonky and rough in the beginning, but it's gotta start somewhere~

I think this might be the most accurate internal tail that exists. What a pain in the ass this was x'D Trying a magnetic mount for the tail for hot swapping, a couple of 6x2mm, and a 5x4mm disk. *Should* be more then enough pull force to let me pose the tail and have it maintain the position.

PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Grandpa for Scale. Lovely little HG to straight build~ I also think I'm gong to just live with my TR6 being a little bit taller cause her legs are just a lil' bit longer then the 1/144 tr6. (Scale Creep and proportions, I tell yah hwat.) And that's ok~

When you stream for 8 hours and most of what you got done is invisible the outside x'D 1/100 v. 1/144

PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Finished running the 1/100 'Wort downscale. I know what I want to do for the remodeling now. I can get away with a lot more then I initially thought for some of the tinier parts and details x'D so this was pretty useful to go through.

1587

PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Seems I'm just printing the whole 1/100 scaled down x'D So far, it looks like I'm just, gonna leave a handful of the joint tolerances in the legs alone as they print as is just fine, would just need a detail pass to define things for the scale a bit better.

2548

PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Probably be the last bit of just, scaled parts I print to get the scale vibes I think the things are pretty bang on, but I might scooch it down a skosh. It's a little bit bigger then the 1/144, and that's already too large xD It's also just, a *really cool* comparison to have it next to the 1/144~
