GobyFrame Infantry Drone [FireFish/TigerGoby Variants]

Added 2022-01-27 06:15:12 +0000 UTC

So a question I get/got almost every week "When are you gonna do infantry models?" To which I'd always reply "I can't model fleshy stuff."

However, I can model mecha stuff, and after a while, people started suggesting I just make small mech. I mulled this over for a bit, and decided, alright let's try working at that scale.

These are the Goby Frame infantry drones. (FireFish Goby and TigerGoby variants) My answer to not being able to model organics. There's 100+ bits and oh so many combinations. A little bit more pre-posed then my usual stuff but at this scale it's what makes the most sense. (there's a fileset of the pieces separate so they can be posed and exported in something like blender if you need something a bit more custom) and as always, two and four arm variants. I'll be fleshing these little guys out a bit with the following month being the WatchmanGoby variant. But for now I think it's a good start.

These guys will be up on my CG&T and patreon(PiperMakes) for anyone interested in the files around the 4th of the month(February) as usual, with the Raw files going up first, and the pre-supports/pre-plates following as I get them back and tested~
For the pre-plate I'll be trying to fit the bits to build a unit of 5 on a photonS size buildplate. Similar to how I did the SilverFish preplate. 6 plates total, one for each main weapon 2 and 4 armed variants. There will be bits left over from this as a heads up.

I gotta admit, I had more fun then I thought I would working in this scale. It's tricky translating detail to something that's actually printable. But I think I got a good balance, and I'm looking forward to more of this next month.
