What does a female Rivet look like?

Everyone can stop asking.  I recently finished a commission of a female Rivet tank commander taking a smoke break outside her tank.  You'll note that she is a member of an elite unit of sniper vert tanks tasked with disrupting enemy supply lines.  Their high speed and long range weapons make them ideal for hit and run ops behind enemy lines.  Smoke'em if you got 'em!

Custom Paint

Adam over at halfbad toyz has added a really really detailed paint job to the custom.  This is just crazy when you think of how small this is.  Incredible skill at work here.  Oh, and it's not done :)

Mean Green!

Playing around with some colors.  Fun stuff.  Hopefully soon I'll have some of these up for sale in the store.

So far things are good but I've had some air bubbles and I think it's because the resin is setting up too quickly.  This doesn't really give me time to get the pressure pot up to a high enough PSI to squeeze the bubbles out.  I just ordered some new resin that takes twice as long to set.  That should give me some better results.

My 3D prints have come in!

They just came in the mail and I took some pictures.  This is so exciting.  Next will be making a mold and then casting some resin toys!  Take a look at all the detail.  Just amazing.

Making a toy?

I got some more work done on the vertical tank model and decided to submit it to a website that makes prototypes.  The model will be made of a high detail plastic and the final should only be about 55mm tall.  I hope it looks good.

Going through this process has me really excited about the world of Rivet.  I can imagine scale character, aircraft, more vehicles and much more.  I've started drafting some story ideas.  It'll probably start with some images with a short story written about them.

3d model of vert tank

Tried making a quick model of the vert tank to play around with proportions and to get a feel of what it was like as a dimensional object.
