Rubber Band Escapology

By playing Rubber Band Escapology you can relieve office based boredom and utilise your stationery cupboard all at the same time. All you need to play is an elastic rubber band and not be concerned with looking a little stupid.To play, stretch a band over your head and open your mouth so that the rubber band is firmly stretched between your teeth and below your ears. Now, without using your

PC update

Okay, I heard back from the shop about my PC today. Turns out my power supply isn't powerful enough to run my PC and the huge graphics card I installed a little over a year ago, meaning its been struggling this whole time to keep my computer running and has decided to give up. I will be back up and running as soon as my new power supply arrives.

::UPDATE::

Power supply should arrive on Monday.
So yeah, all my attempts at fixing my computer have failed, taking it in to the shop tomorrow.

strange games repost: Walking Trippy

To celebrate Strange Games the book, which hits the shops this Thursday, I am going to re-post one of my favourite games of all time....the game that has come to be known as the English man's martial art: Walking Trippy.Walking Trippy is an easy to play, hard to master , indoors game. It can be played in any room which is carpeted. For two players at a time. Each stands at either end of the

DreamForge-Games new web site is up

I got tired looking at the old site, so I pushed up the new one...incomplete and with issues... there are some load issues I need to resolve and some broken links that need fixing but it's nice to give DFG a face lift.

Leviathan Crusader


Working on the Leviathan Crusader, I have his feet done as well as the Vulkan cannon. I will work my way up the legs to the torso and head and finally the claw. The feet took about 35 hours to complete because this model can be posed, everything had to be engineered not only with the movement and collision issues in mind but also with how it would need to be broken up for casting.... Very complex and a challenging build. I feel like I deserve an honorary degree from M.I.T.

Railroad Rampage

Railroad Rampage is a cross between an arcade game and a strategy game. It is similiar in construction to many "Tower Defence" games, but it has a twist : here, you are part of the action and can affect the game in many different ways more than just building structures. Bandits are trying to rob your train and steal all precious cargo! Thankfully, you are a skilled engineer who can construct many different kinds of turrets and use them to defend your train. You have to make it through 25 waves of relentless enemy assault before you reach your destination, so plan ahead and devise a smart strategy and you may survive!

The Wiz version of Railroad Rampage won first place in the GP32Spain Tower Defence Contest!

Current version : 1.2.

Updating some old faves.... Vulkan Cannon

In between all the freelance work I get to work on my products... This is a much more heavily detailed arm and gun for one of the Mechs I'll be making.

Some prints are back from Moddeler




John at Moddeler does some good work, keeps me and my clients happy. Hats off to Comfy Chair.



New client and lots of new quirky models



I had the opportunity to work with Chris at Outland Games.
Chris has a great sense of humor and wanted this reflected in his models.
This was a hard project for my to wrap my mind around because I'm so used to designing with a mind set that its got to look lean mean and 100% killing machine. After some back and forth I realized what he wanted and got to work. The large weapons were supposed to be on tripods and gun mounts but I wanted to add some personality and quirkiness to the design. I envisioned the weapons on robotic mounts that would wobble to the next firing position as its crew scurried to keep pace and rather than complicated fire controls on the back of the weapons, just a big red button labeled DESTROY! ;)
Chris describes his race of "Skins" as funny little aliens that use weapons that look like toys, but they are the baddest fighters around.
Ultimately I enjoyed working on this project and hope to work with Chris again to flush out some more not so serious work.

Comfy Chair stackable building sent off for final approval




Bob wanted a building that you could stack. This design strays a bit from his original concept but I could not help myself from adding architectural details to make something that would look at home in most contemporary cities. You can go from a three story structure to a skyscraper by simply adding more middle floor sections.


Freebie for Comfy Chair

Bob has been such a great client and this model did not take as long as many to design, so I wanted to do something nice for him... Bio-Dome was on the house.

Bicycle Jousting @ the Chap Olympiad

The Chap magazine, a journal for the modern gentleman, has been publishing sartorial advice and articles on pipe smoking, tweed, and indeed everything else a chap needs to know, for ten years now. For six of those years they have also held the Chap Olympiad, a gathering of the nation's finest suited, booted and moustach-wearing chaps... not forgetting the chappettes. This year it was held in

Freelance work for Khurasan Miniatures




This is an APC for Jon over at Khurasan Miniatures, just sent over for final approval.
You can see his drawing and my CAD execution of his design. It's manned by the Felids, a cat like race that are vicious and prone to breaking delicate things so everything needed to be utilitarian and robust.

Posting delays

Hey all, sorry for the lack of recent updates, the server move has required more time and effort on my end then I originally thought. I am going to try making at least one quadrant update a day, rather then 5 on Saturday and 5 on Sunday, hopefully I will be able to ramp up production to pre-work levels.

Thank you for your patience, I hope to have a new demo ready by Christmas, but considering my luck with dates I wouldn't put too much hope into that, at the very least there will be a new trailer showing off some more music.

Tom has created The Institute for Aesthletics ( an organization dedicated to the playing of sports as an artistic practice)....check out his website hereHis new game of Opener (seen in the video below) is a team game where each player wears a helmet with a hula hoop attached (easily achieved with a cycling helmet and some gaffer tape) that makes them
