I posted these up on the 3d printing page on Facebook. Figured I'd share them here. I am pretty obsessed with the ash waste inclusion of "dirtbikes" as it lets me finally play "biker gangs" like I always wanted to (always being when I got into necromunda in '95). The only issue I have is that GW doesn't have any models for me to buy, so it's off to the kitbash I go. I could get the GSC dirtbikes, but other than for the GSC and maybe helots, they just don't seem to have the "Flavor" of the gangs. So, since I have a 3d printer, I figured I'd give it a go. Along the way, I discovered that with a little practice, I was able to utilize Blender (free 3d editing software) to kitbash the files before printing, which since resin is not the most fun medium to work with, turned out to work really well. Anyway, time for the slideshow.
I started with the Orlocks , but didn't really like how they turned out (I play Orlocks, so I'm very picky over them) so I decided to try some others and come back to them when I'm happier. Here's some looks at my first attempts.
So I moved onto Goliaths ( a gang I put together for my brother when he visits)
These came out much better. I like the idea that Goliaths ride something that will survive a collision with another bike.
I moved on to Enforcers. I have been printing a Female enforcers gang since my girlfriend was interested in playing them. (side note, my new campaign is almost half female. Never expected to have any female players when I started, so interesting turn of events).
I learned a bit along the way and my most recent endeavor was to make some Van Saar bikes (grav bikes of course).
So, let me know what you think. I got a good response on facebook with some of these, and I'm even considering doing a series of Youtube videos on how I made some of these. Sadly, the STL's I used are a mix of free and purchased ones, so I can't put up a shop, but I'd be more than happy to help anyone interested in them to make their own. Maybe I could do kind of a Bob Ross style show, "The joy of kitbashing" LOL. Well, let me know what you think. There are more images in the Gallery.
