November 2022 Release Preview - Deus Spes Nostra: Sister Mary
· By Ben Douglas
My apologies for the lacking WIP updates this month. It seems getting a puppy has been rather disruptive to my usual working pattern (and sleeping pattern for that matter). Nevertheless, here is the first half of Deus Spes Nostra, featuring Sister Mary, part one of a two part diorama. Deus Spes Nostra: Sister Mary will be available to Chosen and higher tier Ritual Casting Cult members on November 1st ,and to Patreon subscribers and My Mini Factory Tribes members on November 3rd. This first half of the Deus Spes Nostra diorama features Sister Mary, a fallen angel turned nun bringing dual...

Deus Spes Nostra: Sister Mary - Work In Progress Set 1
· By Ben Douglas
Making extremely rapid progress on this month's model thanks to it being mostly cloth. Sister Mary will be part one of a two part diorama much like The Anointing with Keena and Ronelle. I have a lot of accessories to do with this one and more than a couple of weapons to add, as well as different holster rigs and a Bible holster, so that should be fun.

October 2022 - Monthly Round Up
· By Ben Douglas
Continuing the Migration from Patreon to Ritual Casting Cult As Patreon continue to prove themselves to be a corrosive and rotten company, it becomes easier and easier to leave it behind. My goal is to eventually close down subscriptions on Patreon, hopefully by the end of the year. I can no longer, in good conscience, support Patreon especially in light of their alleged funding of child exploitation (see this article for more information). Whether the claims turn out to be true or not, the company has proven itself to be irresponsible, corrupt and prejudiced time and time again. They are...

October 2022 Release Preview
· By Ben Douglas
Eris, the Dune Hunter will be available to Chosen and Prophet Cultists on October 1st, and to Patreon Heroes and Merchants on October 3rd. Before we arrived, the planet was supposedly teeming with life. Green, verdant, alive. But during our crossing of the void, something happened. Our scientists have many hypotheses, none have progressed to theories. But whatever happened resulted in the planet becoming a desert, infested with massive mechanical creatures. We're unsure what came first, the desert, or the things within them. Buried in the dunes lie wrecked humanoid robots of towering scale. It would appear that the civilisation...

Eris, The Dune Hunter - Work In Progress Set 2
· By Ben Douglas
I don't know what it is about this month, but everything has been taking longer than I like. Well, I DO know why. It's mostly down to the amount of hard surface work and the sheer scale of the model. I have to work on things in separate files to prevent autosaving from taking 5 minutes a piece and destroying my flow. So far, Eris, her railgun and the mechanical hand are complete. That just leaves the mechanical worm and the base to finish. Normally I'd like to be done with the model by now and getting the cuts and...

Eris, The Dune Hunter - Work In Progress Set 1
· By Ben Douglas
Just got done with the large chunk of hard surface modelling for next month's model. Got the giant mechanical hand finished, just need to weather it and give it some damage. Also got the rifle finished, which will need some wear and tear as well. Now I have these pieces finished I can properly pose Eris and get going on her.Then I'll need to do the giant mechanical worm. In theory the worm should be a case of making just one section and setting up an array along a curve and a central trunk to keep it all together, and...
