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 Blight Airship themed as a slow bomber unit.
The never produced Ruska tank.
The heavyweight Blight mono-wheel with a self leveling seat.
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 model I made of the Blight Landkrieger. This was done in 3DS Max.
The amazing 8 foot tall Landkrieger that Cmon made for the Gencon convention.
More of the great 3D prints that I had to inspect before sending them to the factory in China.

It was exciting to have Kotaku do a write up on my board game.
The first core miniatures to come back from the factory in China.
More views of the miniatures in the battle.
A great cover piece Rivet Wars had in Ravage magazine.
A great article on the Rivet Wars game and its production.
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.
The ottoman tank with test "riders" to ensure that it will fit extra troops.
The first shipment of Rivet Wars game boxes.
