They look nice and clean, doc. That's a good deal.

Don't forget, you have until midnight as the calender changes from March to April to pick up your FREE pre-colored Cargo Bay Starter Set (uncolored set sells for $18.50)! Just place an order through the storefront of at least $100 and you will receive a FREE set like the following! (No choice of colors, colors selected randomly and guaranteed to not make a matched set!)

Just follow the links in my sig-line below the pic.

Neat looking head on that protocol droid.

[DocOutlands]

Thanks - turns out the post on the Chopper Droid/Vader's Medical Droid head is an exact fit for BAD torsos.  The Chopper Droid head will be available in the store soon.

It all looks great, doc!

[DocOutlands]

Thanks!  Lots of cargo-bay goodies in the shop and still a lot of stuff I need to photograph and list.

[Tamer]

Time for a front page update.

[DocOutlands]

Are. You. READY???

I give you a Production Platform 3 EXCLUSIVE head-sculpt, by noted sculptor Christopher Herman - the

V E R P I N E ! ! !

The Geonosian was apparently modeled rather closely on the EU Verpine. And now, you can build the builders of the B-Wing fighter and genius mechanics of the Rebellion for your very own!

This head comes in 3 pieces - the main skull and the two antennae, so a modicum of assembly is required. Also, depending on the body you opt to use, you may have to enlarge the socket to fit the neck-ball.

Cool, time for another update.

Just received my order from Michael. Excellent head casts and goggles. Thanks for the bonus as well, Mike!

[DocOutlands]

Thanks, Tamer!  The first order of Verpine heads has already been placed - woot!

Good to hear, Remco!  Be sure and let me know how that soft resin works out.  The two I've painted up seem to be working fine for holding paint while still being functional.  I haven't tried drilling on it yet, though.

Cast came out great!  It's sized for the Clone Wars Geonosian body, but that Sun Fac body looks pretty nice as well.

[DocOutlands]

Thanks - I'll update the store description to reflect that.  I *think* I have one out in the shop - I know I have a Geo Zombie out there.

First true update in ages, it seems.  Wanted to share something that is actually underway now and not just planned.  I mentioned a few days ago on Facebook that we have designs up on Shapeways for blaster-crates derived from our Iconic Box designs and a totally new design-family of crates.  Well, we've placed the order for master-parts!  First up is a small gaming-scale corridor wall sample at 2"x2".  It is a small-scale version of an Econoliner design, being done both as proof-of-concept and as a viable product for tabletop gamers. We opted for one of the Interior Door designs because, well, functional doors are just cool. It will help us with visual proportions for the action-figure scaled products and with working out how thin we can go on pieces.  We've also ordered the shallow blaster crate (sized to accommodate 3 of the long blaster rifle/light repeating blaster based on the MG-34 that ships with the 3.75" BS Stormtrooper) and each of the three sizes of the FTM Crates.  For those interested, the dimensions of the FTM crates are:

FTM Cargo Crates
Standard:
interior – 3/8”deep, 13/16” wide, 1 5/16” long
exterior – 1/2” tall, 1” wide, 1 1/2” long

Large:
interior - 3/8”deep, 13/16” wide, 2 1/2” long
exterior - 1/2” tall, 1” wide, 2 11/16”

Long:
interior - 3/8”deep, 13/16” wide, 3 11/16” long
exterior - 1/2” tall, 1” wide, 3 15/16” long

So far, all our models are passing printing requirements!  We should have our samples in hand around August 8 and we'll post pics of the real things then.
