Dropped the Anchor: Introducing the Pirate Life Series!
Ahoy, Pixel & Plastic adventurers!
We have an exciting new journey to share with you: the launch of the Pirate Life series! This brand-new line of pirate-themed 3D printable models brings a treasure trove of spring-powered cannons, treasure chests, looking glasses, treasure and more to your build plate. We can't wait to hear what you think of these creations. We've just dropped the anchor on the Pirate Life series, and it's setting sail on its own adventure! After some time out at sea, all of these models will make their way back to the Pixel and Plastic library, so our full collection will keep on growing. If you want to support Pirate Life right away, you can subscribe to our dedicated PirateLife channel on Thangs. Every bit of support means the world to us as we grow and make changes that wouldn't be possible without you.
In other news coming from channel 6, our character studies are still sailing strong. April O'Neil is currently in the works, and this "Half-Shell" scale version that we have been building and has been quite the challenge! Incorporating enough detail for the scale, but still trying to keep that cartoon look. She’s nearly ready, and we’re excited to share her with you soon. And remember, even as Pirate Life embarks on its own journey, original characters and character studies will still be getting plenty of love in the Pixel and Plastic library.
We’ve also got some big things brewing for the Fireside Buzz community. We invite everyone to connect their Thangs membership to Discord to get a look behind the scenes and connect with artists and makers from all over. Fireside Buzz is about more than just models. It’s about sharing, growing together, and creating something epic. Like the stories shared around a campfire. Whether you’re an artist or a maker, our community welcomes all kinds of creativity and collaboration. Come by, promote your work, practice, or even organize collaborations with us. We can't wait to see what we make together. Connect your Discord to Thangs by
- First logging in
- Then click the profile button in the top right of Thangs, and click settings.
- Then scroll to the bottom where you can manage your memberships
And as a final teaser... we’re getting ready to drop a brand-new chunk of Christmas cheer! We’re talking festive village pieces, ornaments, and even more holiday magic. If enough of you show interest in our Discord, we might even run some contests—maybe both designer and maker contests. Let us know if that’s something you'd be excited about.
Thank you all, once again, for being part of this incredible journey. We’re so grateful for your support and enthusiasm, and we can't wait to see what we build together next! This journey is incredible, and it's all because of you.
With the greatest gratitude and appreciation,
- Ryan
