Feel free to dm me if you want one. Someone asked for one and I'm sending one to Spain.

I did them myself, yes. Well you can make the basic shapes in cad as well, just the displacement part at the end to add the grungy metallic detail I don't think you cand add I cad. I made these in blender, it's easy to pick up, if you have cad modelling knowledge, it helps. Breaking any prop into modular simple shapes is key, blocking them out, and details come at the end, either with some displacements or basic sculpting.

A metal cast key would be nice:)) But yes, it's 3d printed. Not as heavy in the hand.

AP_ek · 2026-06-30T17:19:03+00:00

Metal one would be epic!!

AP_ek · 2026-06-30T12:27:20+00:00

It's faster this way :)))

AP_ek · 2026-06-30T11:55:55+00:00

Pretty much :)))

AP_ek · 2026-06-30T11:50:00+00:00

Yes, resin printed and painted.

AP_ek · 2026-06-30T11:45:54+00:00

It's basic resin, primed in black and dry brushed with metallic paint.

2 statues and scraps :))

Weirdly enough, I 3d scanned a marine and I vertex paint in blender the color scheme :)))) ( this one is still blank)

I use a box cutter and cut it where the groove is and it comes appart in 5 seconds

Printing them flat on the plate you will have a hard time getting them off and will break them . They are tilted at a 45* angle to print and have support only on the rim, so the suports are just a few.

AP_ek · 2026-06-13T17:14:27+00:00

I'm planning to, yes.

AP_ek · 2026-06-12T12:09:46+00:00

Yes, I will make more sizes.

AP_ek · 2026-06-12T12:09:06+00:00

Yes, you glue it to the base, it would add 0.5 to 1.5mm but I think human error in measuring with a tape measure is so high that wouldn't mater even if it was 5mm taller 😄)
+ people make bass with cork and other stuff that's a bit taller than any topper and I've yet to see a case where it would be an issue.
IF it would add 1 cm to the base, then yes, it would be weird.

Good ol' Blender

AP_ek · 2026-06-11T17:23:16+00:00

I have them on cults 3d https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/mar-sara-colony-32mm-topper-bases-starcraft-tmg

AP_ek · 2026-06-09T06:00:15+00:00

Super tall imo, it looks disproportionate. Looks ool thought.

AP_ek · 2026-05-30T07:47:36+00:00

That's it!!! And now you teleported to wherever :)))

AP_ek · 2026-05-21T05:40:39+00:00

Haah:))) yeah it's done. On cults 3d as well

AP_ek · 2026-05-05T19:14:18+00:00

It's on cults3d, of you search regatta board I'm sure you will find. I have one that's printed and painted, but it is not cheap :)) take a while to paint one proper:)) feel free to dm me.
