    Earthrise Ironworks Radar Dish

    It's been so long since I've had the time to enjoy a new action figure. Picked up Earthrise Ironworks, and I have no idea why, but Ironworks just isn't Ironworks to me without the silly windmill. Designed custom decals to help make it look a little more believable as a radar dish. It connects to Earthrise Ironworks using a standard 5mm socket.

    In the interest of making the radar dish look less like a windmill, I designed and printed custom vinyl decals. I like to think the gradient helps it read as if it were relaying a signal.

    3D printed the Radar Dish. Each 'blade' connects to the central hub using a standard 5mm peg, so technically Ironworks could hold one as...um...a blade?

    Very happy with the printed vinyl decals. Easy enough to work with once I got the printer set up correctly, and the end result has a nice glossy shine to it.

    Thanks! This model is available directly from me already, and I'm planning to add this to my Shapeways shop (with the decals available to print) for those who want to paint it themselves :)
