Work in Progress 3d print of a Boer War Fowler tractor

I decided to see if my CAD skills where still any good.   I fired up Fusion a 3d CAD program.  Started to hack away. It has been 3 years since I used a CAD program.   Surprisingly I still can do it.  This is version one. A few error now that have been corrected.  Not quite the correct scale.   Having a great time using my skills and brain..

Coming soon Austrian Cavalry by the Perry Brothers

Here is what Michael said

Plastic Austrian Cavalry Update
Alan has been finishing off the first two frames ( the normal cavalrymen and horses) for the Austrian ’German’ cavalry and thought a few more pictures might be in order. All the cavalrymen will have the 1798, post 1805 helmets as well as post 1805 helmets without the woolen crests (often seen on campaign).
Although the earlier uniform (for the 1798 helmet) was looser, this isn’t that noticeable on mounted troops as it is on infantry, so Alan decided to add these heads on the frames.
All cavalrymen with be able to be assembled riding at ease, to drawn swords, to a full out charge.
The horses’ heads are separate to allow the differences between the ‘German’ and ‘Hungarian’ headstalls for the various types of cavalry included in the set. This has the added bonus of a ‘negative space’ ( an irritating but useful phase) between the reins and allows a more dynamic head angle.
There’s still a little tweaking with these, but then it’s off to Renedra with them!

Stuff for Anton's D&D campaign

My buddy Anton was looking at my 3d prints the other day.  He said. " Boy would that be kool if you could make bottles, boxes and other items for a dungeon.  The other day while now Thingverse I found the first of the items he wanted.   It took 12 hours to print.  But the one small bottle has a skull on the front for poison.  These where printed on my Ender 3. 


If you look closely you can see the skull on the beginning of the second row.
