3D printing

I’m a big fan of the alien genre, and I wanted some funny aliens around the house. So I made a little crowd of them in Meshy, printed them, and painted them by hand with airbrush "felt tip pens" (yes, that is a thing).

3-D models

Figures, spacecraft and retro machines I have made as 3-D models with Meshy.ai and prepared for printing — mostly people as Lemmings, Amiga history and 1980s TV. This page grows as I add models.

AI Force

The administration is starting a new military force, so I designed the one I'd expect: the AI Force — a squad of very typical geeks in hero suits, with a nod to Atari Force from the 1980s comics.

Space: 1999

Space: 1999 was a show I loved watching as a kid, so two of my 3-D models are from it: an Eagle Transporter and a Moonbase Alpha astronaut.
