I just model the mech (no comms)
Models in Fusion360~
Pinned
It's #PortfolioDay! I don't know what that is, but I'm Piper of PiperMakes! I'm a professional little guy modeler, dealing entirely with hard surface modeling in Fusion360~

I just model the mech~
Got a pretty decent ways into the legs today~

Gonna get into the legs next~

Gettin' into the arms~

My favorite kind of support~

I was thinking for a minute to have like, two entire arms holding the head from the sides, but there's almost no way to have that work and be modular/poseable so xD

I would like to get off the 60 runner wild ride now please.

(Everything's processed and initial panel lining is done for parts on the inner frame that I think will be visible. Now all I have to do is Matte coat everything and paint the armor XD)

Speaking of test prints, I still need to tweak this once I get my actual resin in but for now this will do~

Really cool effect when you run the LEDs through it, and while I think my phone led is brighter than the kits LED, if I can maintain some of this that would be pretty cool xD

Couple of the Gar Frame test prints~

Man the M58 resin spoiled me because the sunlu abs like's surface quality leaves a ton to be desired.
(Ran out of the good resin, which is on order, so I had to go back to my old standard)

I have cool people in my discord, stg.

Saw these a while ago and decided I liked 'em way more then the stock funnels in the axis Kshatriya kit, so I modeled em up for myself~

Need to do some prototype printing even i get a chance to see how close I got to that stock blue bit ~

Wrapping up the 2025 with what I think is my favorite frame I've put together yet.
2025 was a year. 2026 will also be a year, and I'll just keep on keeping on with my lil' wasp waisted mecha~

If anyone is seeing the GPU article that is going around about $5,000 5090's, the AMD 7900 XTX is currently selling for around $850. It's roughly the equivalent of a 4080 but with a decent VRAM boost (16 vs 24)

It's still $850 which is absurd but it's not currently $2000 if you *need* a decent GPU

I continue to not be enthused about modeling Shoulder plates or shields/ShieldGens.
But they're fine when I use them as *not shields* (left Frame)

I'm hoping I can wrap this stuff up today (it's 2am now so technically today xD)

Back to goofing with this guy cause I'm gonna need to two month the Big VoidFrame~
This kit was almost good for release, I just need to finish a few more bits~

TORSO & ORB
(And Lil' Guy)
December 24, 2025 at 11:41 PM
Starting to finally get somewhere x'D
December 24, 2025 at 8:23 AM
QRP with your work showing off your range of style/subjects!

I contain Multitudes of the same slutty waisted Mechs, and 1(one) Bug.
December 21, 2025 at 3:56 PM
Heads, Plamo bins, mixed paints, and a bell pepper~
December 21, 2025 at 1:57 PM
Got rid of the silly head placeholder today x'D

I still have a few things to do on the left most heads, but I'll wrap those tomorrow~

Finally getting into some actual negative space stuff for the legs.
Rough idea blocked here for the upper leg is to have the hollows with a few attachment points to the ball joints, but to ultimately be a hollow space.

I've wanted to do stuff like this for such a long time x'D

Working through some more things like the hip, and a big orb holder, cause you gotta have one if those for your big orb.

Big models are tricky with regards to detailing and structure, and maintaining a consistent scaling in line with the smaller guys, and this one is so big xD
December 18, 2025 at 11:47 PM
Kinda puttering from spot to spot, workin' on different things. The shoulders are all set up mechanically, so that's one thing xD I'll probably get into the torso and hips next and try and wrap those bits.

Not sure if that'll be the part separation, but it'll be some variant of that~
December 11, 2025 at 2:24 AM
I'm almost done~
Just another cannon setup, a couple bit tweaks and edits, and then all the boring stuff that makes a model work xD
December 7, 2025 at 2:17 AM
(Stream tomorrow as I have a handful of things scheduled for today~)
December 5, 2025 at 7:19 PM
Started refining some torso forms, as well as the connection between the body and shoulder~
I love this weird tall thing.

Really wanna channel some FSS for some of this guy, those art books are gorgeous~
