[New Files!] Relic Primaris and Secundus helmets are finished!

Got some fun helmets for you guys today! The Relic Primaris and Secundus helmets have been added to the September Specialist rewards - further expanding our already massive 40k collection this month!

These helmets are organized a little differently. The Relic Secundus helmet (gold faceplate) is unique enough it's organized as a separate helmet. The Relic Primaris is basically just a mohawk down the center so it's only in the "Customizations" folder. Both versions of the mohawk have been added to that customizations folder as well. 2024-09-24 15:38:21 +0000 UTC View Post

[New Files and Collaboration!] We partnered with Boylei Hobby Time to bring you an epic Halo diorama!

The 1:200 scale Pelican and Scarab have been added to the September Specialist and Officer rewards in the miniature releases folder!

This was a very exciting chance for us to work with a master in diorama making! Deciding which scene to memorialize was easy. The obvious choice for me was one of the most unforgettable scenes from Halo: Reach, Carter's noble sacrifice after uttering the words "I've got the mass". It's been one of my favorite moments from one of my favorite games for many years now!

Lets chat about the files themse...

[New Files!] Finished up the Dead Space Level 1 Engineering Helmet!

Taking a short break from grim projects for something new! I completely missed Dead Space as a game series it's first time through but recently started playing the remaster and was having a ton of fun with it! I knew I wanted to make the level 1 helmet and armor set but didn't realize just how complex and crazy these parts are, this is an experienced level project for sure!

The helmet files include:

• An assembled version and solid version for resin printing

• Sizing Slice at Head Opening

• Visor C...

[New Files x2!] The remaining 2 Bulwark Style helmets have been finished!

2 more styles of Space Marine helmets have been added to the September Specialist folder!

Version 3 is probably my favorite in the whole game but version 2 would be much easier to actually see out of!

Each helmet includes the vast array of customization options displayed in the past but also some new ones! We've added the Space Wolves forehead emblem and a mohawk down the middle of the dome. The mohawk has pre-modeled holes for broom bristles to fit snugly inside - so grab a broom to sacrifice and get pinning!

Both helmet...

[New Files!] The Space Marine 2 Bulwark helmet (version 1) has been completed!

As you might have guessed I love a good medieval knight looking helmet, and this Bulwark helmet speaks to me unlike any other! The Bulwark class has about 3 different helmet options in it and we're doing them all so be prepared for more versions in the coming days!

It features all the niceties of our usual helmet releases - let me know if you are tired of me listing them all out ;)

• Assembled Versions

• Pre-separated version

• Pre-cut for smaller printers

• Bambu Studio project and gc...

[New Files!] Finished up the Space Marine 2 Bolt Rifle!

Another Patreon exclusive file from Space Marine 2 is all finished! This HUMAN sized Bolt Rifle can make a fun addition to any 40k cosplay or display piece.

From friend of the Patreon Sergey Kolesnik this guy should be a pretty straightforward and fun build! It has 2 1/2" diameter holes through the length for wooden reinforcement dowels. The magazine also uses 8, 10mm x 3mm magnets to "release and reload".

It's split up into 32 easy to print and assemble pieces and includes an assembled version for reference. Bambu Studio project...

[New Files!] The Halo Legendary Logo Wall Mount has been added to the September Specialist rewards!

I'm very excited about this model as it's something I've wanted to do for ages! It comes in 2 different scales: A scaled down version fit for display and a life sized version, where the elite's head is true scale - this does make the knives absolutely HUGE though so a fair warning.

Most of the parts have been pre-separated with interlocking keys for an easy assembly. It does include Bambu Studio project and GCODE files for the standard size as well! Some of the larger parts have also been pre-cut for smaller printers, if you want to ta...

[New Files!] The Space Marine 2 Reiver helmet (Vanguard) has been added to the September Specialist rewards!

Another class of Space Marine helmet has been added to the Patreon Specialist rewards as an exclusive! You might recognize it from the Vanguard class in Space Marine 2 but it's typically known as a Reiver.

This helmet includes the same 6 default customization options as the Primaris helmet with a few additional ones included in the base files! It adds another dome option as well as 2 respirator choices for further customization.

The files also feature:
Assembled versions of the different combos
Sizing slice at head openin...

[Free File] In honor of James Earl Jones, please enjoy this free bust

Such a sad loss for the Star Wars world today with his passing. Feel free to download this free model to commemorate the enormous impact I'm sure he had on many of us.

[New Files!] The Commander Cody Armor Accessories have been added to the September Specialist rewards!

To go along with our helmet remaster, we also made the armor accessories for Commander Cody! It fits on top of our classic Phase 2 RotS Clone Trooper armor WHICH IS ALSO INCLUDED!

The armor accessories use a lot more of the 2mm metal rods - in both the bicep data pen as well as replacements for the shoulder antenna stalks. This will greatly increase their strength and durability when wearing!

All large parts have been pre-cut for smaller printers. The default scale of the armor fits about a 6' tall 180 lb person so be sure to use...

[New Files!] The Primaris Space Marine helmet has been added to the September Specialist rewards!

This one's a Patreon exclusive! (So GW doesn't smother me in my sleep)

With all the hype around Space Marine 2 and our own excitement for the game we wanted to dip our toes further into the grimdark universe, so get ready for this fully customizable Primaris Space Marine helmet!

It currently features 6 different customization options:
Inquisition
Laurels
Skull Laurels
Skull
Star
Templar

With more on the way! Our end goal is to replicate just about every piece of customization from the game across all 6 cla...

[Updated Files!] The Commander Cody helmet has been remastered and added to the September Specialist rewards!

We're back in the saddle after an eventful DragonCon! We got to meet so many of our friends and fans out there it was incredible! We're working on compiling and editing all the footage for it now for a release on Friday, we'll have a watch party on stream in the Discord Friday night so be on the lookout for that!

It's about time I get back to some clones! Commander Cody had yet to be remastered yet so he was an obvious choice. This new versions includes all the experience and knowledge I've picked up over the years built on a familiar ...

[Poll] Vote on your favorite release from August!

This will help direct me into making more things you guys enjoy! Thank you for your patience, I feel like even though we moved halfway across the country, setup a new shop, and did a lot of work from phones and laptops we put together a great month of rewards!

Vote for as many as you like! This coming month we're very excited for a lot of Space Marine helmets but also some classic Clone Troopers we've finally gotten around to.

Thank you as always for your support, lets use some of this nice fall weather to finish up some props! 2024-09-04 15:18:50 +0000 UTC View Post

[MMF Archive] The MyMiniFactory archive has been sent out for August!

We're at Dragoncon but I wanted to send out an update. Yes, the email is legit and from us. If you're new to the system I use MyMiniFactory to make sure you never lose access to files available during your patronage!

You'll need to create a MMF account using the same email as your patreon account, you can then redeem the files and have them permanently available in your MMF library.

Thank you all for support this August, see you in September with a lot more files!

[New Files!] The Destiny 2 Lord Shaxx helmet and armor set has ALSO been added to the August Specialist rewards!

Here's the second file release today for you guys! A personal favorite and a strong contender for my next cosplay: Destiny 2's Lord Shaxx!

If you're curious as to how to see out of a helmet design like this remember to check out our tutorial video here: https://youtu.be/UkEheLym3JU

Includes a bunch of pre-separated parts, pre-cut parts for smaller printers, and integrations for non-printed materials! The forearms and cape feature a few pinholes for rivets or met...

[New Files!] The Fallout Anti-Materiel Rifle has been added to the August Specialist rewards!

More fun gear to add to your NCR Ranger cosplay!

I've got one more fun weapon from Fallout in the works but let's start with the big one! It uses both a 1/2" diameter and 1/4" diameter wooden dowel for the full assembly to support such a large rifle. It also features a working bolt action!

All the parts have been pre-separated for easy printing and include the Bambu Studio project and gcode files to get started printing even sooner!

We're about to head out to DragonCon tomorrow so I'm going to get one more release ready fo...

[New Miniatures!] The Halo Grunts have been added to the August Specialist and Officer rewards!

8 of the most cowardly Covenant aliens have been added to this month's miniature rewards!

You'll find that all 8 of these 1:48 scale poses include pre-supported alternates. Each pose includes the full body version with base and without. Pose 2 even includes 2 different swappable arms and weapons, allowing you to customize your grunt!

We've got a few more Halo themed mini releases in the works, then we'll probably switch back to Star Wars and cover some of the OT.

Hope you all enjoy!

- Aaron

[New Files!] The AT-ST Driver Helmet has been added to the August Specialist rewards!

Another classic helmet today from the original trilogy. I added the finishing touches to it this morning in a Starbucks and boy was that tedious. I'll be much more efficient with full internet - which should be by this weekend!

I'm typing this on my phone and I've still got a lot to do today so I'll keep this posting brief. The helmet should have all the great additions you can expect from the GA Patreon!

Thank you all for your patience as we set up our new shop. I promise this will pay huge dividends for you all in the coming...

[New Files and Shop Update!] Aran Tal's Blaster has been added to the August Specialist rewards!

Hey all! Sorry for the break in file releases but we've successfully made the 1200 mile drive over 3 days to New Jersey and the site of the new Galactic Armory studio! We're still getting settled in the new house and shop and there's a mountain of new services and tools to set up before we can get back to business as usual but I wanted to do a quick file release to make sure you guys know I haven't forgotten about you!

I'll likely make an update post in the coming week just to keep you guys in the loop on how things are going and what...

[New Files!] The custom Mandalorian Repeater Blaster has been added to the August Specialist rewards!

This is something I'm supremely excited about! I wanted to make a "Western Repeater" themed blaster and boy we've got an incredible one, it features a functional lever action with trigger release!

2 versions are included: Static and Mechanical. Static is a "dumb" version requiring no non-printed parts outside of some 1/4" reinforcement dowels. The Mechanical version has a full single action system, meaning you can pull the hammer back manually or use the lever action. The hammer is then released with a spring loaded trigger pull!

[New Files!] The Blade Runner Snubnose Blaster has been added to the August Specialist rewards!

We've been crazy busy making new files for you guys so I hope you're enjoying your time here in the GA community! Today we've got a model from Sergey Kolesnik that's outside our typical genres but I think a few of you will still appreciate it!

The blaster is split into 21 interlocking and easy to assemble parts. It also includes Bambu Studio project and GCODE files for you Bambu users!

Just a reminder next week my family and I will be moving across the country to the new New Jersey location! As such I'll be unable to post new fil...

[New Files!] Kat's Halo Reach Air Assault Helmet has been added to the August Specialist rewards!

All members of Noble Team have now been completed! I had this helmet finished a while ago but realized I needed to do a "Needle" version as well, thank you all for waiting!

This helmet is scaled slightly smaller than our usual size and fits heads up to 23" in circumference at default scale.

The helmet files include a vacuum forming buck for the visor but we also offer them in our shop here: https://galacticarmory.net/pro...

[New Files!] The Halo Infinite Bulldog shotgun has been added to the August Specialist rewards!

I'm incredibly excited to show you guys a new class of file I'm going to be offering on the Galactic Armory Patreon: Professionally Engineered Functionality! I've started working with a professional mechanical engineer (who also designed the Halo flamethrower!) to add some impressive functionality to some of our props! First on the release schedule is the Halo Infinite Bulldog Shotgun!

It does come in 2 styles for those wanting a static simplified prop but the mechanical version includes the following features:
- Spring loaded trigg...
