Breaking the rules (Patreon)

One of the rules I set for myself for the models I make here was "no assembly required". After some consideration I decided to break that rule for mounted units. I just figured that the only way to keep the printing supportless and make those hanging legs in stirrups is to break the rider model apart and print the bottom part upside-down. This also opens the possibility of modular models.

So here it is, a first two-part mounted knight, with a variant on foot. There is also a new version of a supportless horse dressed in a caparison, which should be easier to print in FDM than the original horse, because the caparison reinforces legs which for some of you  were prone to snapping while printing.
Get them all in the repository, the pedestrian version is also on Thingiverse.

I'm going away with the kids for a few days now, see you back in August, devoted to the requests made by my oldest Patrons.
