Designed to be made in Stainless Steel, but equally good in white/black/transparent detail acrylic. Supplied unpainted, but with a good eye and a fine brush you should be able to recreate most team liveries.
The Sopwith Pup was a British single seater biplane fighter aircraft built by the Sopwith Aviation Company. It entered service with the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service in the autumn of 1916. With pleasant flying characteristics and good maneuverability, the aircraft proved very successful. The Pup was eventually outclassed by newer German fighters, but it was not completely replaced on the Western Front until the end of 1917.
Perfect for the wargamers and collectors.

Escher’s Playground - Reminiscent of the upside-down staircase paintings
by Escher, this 7x7x7 maze will soon have you forgetting which way is up
and down. The dimensions of this maze are 40mm by 40mm by 40mm and the
ball is 9mm in diameter.
Floating Labyrinth - The ball appears to float through an intricately
connected matrix. What appears to be open paths are mysteriously blocked
in this 6x6x6 maze. The dimensions of this maze are 31mm by 31mm by 31mm
and the ball is 8mm in diameter.
Zig Zag Zog - You will learn to zig zag
in three dimensions to solve this 5x5x5 maze, but watch out for the
pitfalls! The dimensions of this maze are 24mm by 24mm by 24mm and the
ball is 7mm in diameter.
Start
by pushing the ball into the spring loaded entrance ( it looks like a
backwards “J”). Tip the maze in different directions to roll the ball
along the paths through the maze. Don’t worry, if you make a wrong turn,
the ball will not fall out of the maze. If the ball runs into a dead-end
you can just roll the ball back the opposite way and try another path,
that’s all part of this fun brain game. When you reach the exit there is
a spring loaded button to press to release the ball from the maze. The
exit is in a corner of the 3D maze, where you will find a bar with the
little button sticking out from the side of the maze.
Each maze game come with the ball attached by a little chain link cage for shipping. This needs to be cut off and cut open with scissors and the ball will fall out. Note that each larger size maze comes with a larger ball. The balls can quickly and easily be colored with a highlighter or marker. Let the ball dry for a minute after applying then roll between clean white paper to remove excess color so it does not rub off on the maze. Paint for plastic models can also be used. The orange, green and black balls in the pictures were colored with highlighters or markers. Coloring the ball makes it easier to track in the Labyrinth maze.

A pair of posable hands for use with the ROTF leader Optimus Prime figure! The wrists, thumbs and all fingers are ball-jointed. Additionally, the back of each hand unfolds to form a deadly knuckle duster!
This design is recommended in Strong Flexible material.

Gear system based on hypotrochoid shapes.
It is printed as a 9 piece puzzle, a VERY frustrating one at that ;-)
Depending on the print batch, it might need some minor sanding to make it run properly.
Steel available on request, still untested by me.
I think steel will work but probably needs some more sanding to make it fit.
With the new pricing scheme, the steel version is no longer available.
If you want one in steel, please send me a message and we will find a way.
About a year ago, after seeing the Transformers movie, I was inspired, by the behaviour of the alien technology in the AllSpark cube, to try and design a puzzle that could expand equally in all directions. To make things even harder, I wanted each piece to be locked in place by the preceding move.
After many prototypes I finally succeeded in creating this unique sculpture consisting of six parts.
The first stage in solving the puzzle involves discovering how the pieces fit together in the expanded configuration. (One of these moves includes a rotation, which makes it much harder to crack by computer!)
The second stage is to collapse the expanded cube down to the smaller cube by pressing each of the faces in the correct sequence.
The name of the puzzle comes from a (now obsolete) alternative to the Big Bang Theory proposed by Fred Hoyle. I like the fact that from its expanded, steady state the cube can either collapse inwards or explode outwards.

The Bristol F.2 Fighter was a British two-seat biplane fighter and reconnaissance aircraft of the First World War flown by the Royal Flying Corps. It is often simply called the Bristol Fighter or popularly the "Brisfit" or "Biff". Despite being a two-seater, the F.2B proved to be an agile aircraft that was able to hold its own against opposing single-seat fighters.
Perfect for the wargamers and collectors.
This is an update for the pair of hands I did for ROTF Leader class Optimus Prime. Much time has been invested in making them look as movie accurate as possible. These hands, like their predecessors, are fully articulated with ball joints on the fingers, thumbs and wrists and they are capable of holding 5mm peg mechtech weapons as well as his original rifle!
Recommended materials: Strong Flexible
