MSPaint or die x'D (I really hope I can fit the buildguide onto 4-5 pieces of A4 paper. (4 Cells per side, 32-40 cells total double sided) But I kinda doubt it x'D)

Given how old Bandai is, it makes sense that the CAD program they use is also old x'D

Ooo Bandai Models in Creo. That doesn't really matter, but it is cool to know x'D

Is that the lighting or a subtle pearl to the Wraith construct heads?

Yeah I really had a lot of fun with the posing on these ones x'D A lot to manage, but it makes for some real good dynamism~

I got the Box sleeves back today for the packaging, and they look great, but I goofed 'em in a hilarious and mostly un-noticeable way (the best kinda way to fuck something up tbh) She's missing the tip :T

US and I almost always have a drink with me xD I don't see anything wrong with it regardless of the situation you're in. It be more weird I think if they commented on it, or asked why you had a drink at all. (Even if my reasoning for it is Sjogren's xD)

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.

The extreme of this: "We have Kshatriya at home." (I'm not gonna do this one, probably. x'D)

PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
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."

I'm gonna host the download for it on my itch.io account, so ostensibly, it'll be there forever x'D

PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Same. I think the progression is gonna be: Fit the guide onto X sheets of paper. Failing that: Print a handful of finished kit examples onto paper, with a QR code for the build guide at the end. That way there's at least *something* physical resembling a traditional guide with the kit.
120
PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
(This is still dependent on being able to fit all of the build guide onto 4-5 standard sheets of paper, but I will try to do so, cause I *would rather* a physical guide in at least some capacity~)

PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
However...I was looking through the other garage kits that I have on hand so I can kind of see how they go about their buildguides in comparison to my own, and what I should incorporate for this And one of the ones that I have is just printed on standard printer paper, and then folded into fourths:

PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
The big issue here being that a printed guide is probably going to be less a sheet and more a booklet, and it would have to be smaller than 6"x4" to fit into the box. I'd really like to do physical over digital but in this particular instance I don't think it's going to work out like that.

If it fits, it sits.

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.

Completely valid, I do like a handful of specific spinners from an aesthetic design perspective, and as a desk toy, but carrying them in your pocket is pants because any amount of dirt or lint that gets into the bearing ruins them XD I like haptic coins a lot more because of that~

Not intentionally, but looking it up, I do like a lot of their frames~

Nahhh I'm not much of a lore girlie with this particular faction of mine. The original variant/onus of this frame was cause I *really* like Laughing Octopus x'D

Yes, and EXACTLY. It adds so much work to the project, and I get that it saves time on their end, to just throw it all into a box, but like, at what cost x'D I have a Woundwort bust that I gave up on because of it 😔

And one thing I will never understand about 3D printed garage kits is why the hell do folks ship parts on supports XD easily one of my biggest gripes with ordering any kind of 3D printed add-on or garage kit. None of that here xD

In the meantime, I'm gonna model up the vase mode fdm prints for the various packaging inserts, a simple 2 part labeled closure that will contain a single assembly (right leg/torso/head/etc) that way everything is organized instead of just, thrown in a box xD

PiperMakes @pipermakes.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
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.

Yeah I like the one other commenter said it took them about a week for them to actually get back to me. I personally also find payouts to be a little bit slow, but I don't get much actual income from itch because I use them as a host/key gen for my actual store

In my experience with selling my STL files on it they take *forever* to actually respond. But they do respond.
