Rivet Wars - Models
Rivet Wars was spawned from various sketches, models, and kit-bashed toys and my love of military vehicles. 3D printing was really just becoming accessible to us everyday artists finally giving us a way to "make" and hold our digital creations. All of these models were made in Max and Zbrush and some very quickly with 3D printing and final manufacturing in mind.
The amazing 8 foot tall Landkrieger that Cmon made for the Gencon convention.
A diorama displaying many of the miniatures from the core box.
It was exciting to have Kotaku do a write up on my board game.
The model I made of the Blight Landkrieger. This was done in 3DS Max.
The first core miniatures to come back from the factory in China.
The never produced Ruska tank that I designed.
More views of the miniatures in the battle.
A great cover piece Rivet Wars had in Ravage magazine.
The sculpt of the Allied Ostrich mech is one of my favorite to make. It helped set the bar for scale and detail for the miniature production.
The Blight Airship I made as a slow bomber unit.
The heavyweight Blight mono-wheel that I modeled with a self leveling seat.
One of the beautiful 3D prints before being sent to the factory.
Ruska elite trooper model.
The wild Ruska tank, based on a real world design. I had to make the wheels solid and hint at the spoke detail for production reasons.
More of the great 3D prints that I had to inspect before sending them to the factory in China.
The ottoman tank with test "riders" to ensure that it will fit extra troops.
The first shipment of Rivet Wars game boxes.
