That howitzer by Aphyrion looks great - right up my alley! Could you pass onto them that all of their preview images are locked - so any non-subscriber has NO idea what they're sculpting or what's on offer - I'd never heard of them until this post, and may well have subbed to them since I started buying STLs. Even right now I can't see what they have, and I'm not rich enough to throw money at Patreons to unlock images in case I like their stuff... :/

Azazel

Thanks. I had a google after posting so I can see she's very talented but I simply can't afford to throw money at things sight unseen, especially as her Patreon leans towards being one of the more expensive ones. Saw in her FB comments it was an issue months ago even, which is unfortunate.

Are we allowed to mod the figures, or do they have to be printed as is? (Seb knows I remix the hell out of the Iron Hive figs…)

Just Makes Stuff

Can we submit a model painted previously? Or is there a restriction on when it was painted?

Kristian Bach

Great, now I only need some talent and dedication... I wonder if there's a patreon for that..

Flynn Merk [Broken Halo]

This might be obvious but... can i submit a model from [the makers cult]? Or is it exclusively [Aphyrion] [CoG] [Dark Foundry Miniatures] & [PiperMakes]

themakerscult

Yes. You can also do TMC models as well as any models made for us by guest makers.

LazyMonkey

Maybe when they run a contest for poorly painted figures...
