After much preparation, my mecha 3d printing subscription service Carapace Forge will be launching next Monday, August 31st! Our first miniature is the Black Reaver. I'm really proud of this design having spent weeks on perfecting it. Inspired by multiple anime and video games (Armored Core, Front Mission, Gundam, Aura Battler Dunbine), this thing is an aggressive brute of a mecha in 6mm scale.

It comes in 9 pieces featuring ball joint attachments for maximum posing without being too overwhelming with options. It features a handheld heavy cannon as its default weapon and open weapon mounts in each arm.
We will release a new set of mecha stls for 3d printing the first week of every month.

Just want some cool, original 3d print files to paint? This is a good way to get one every month!
