The Firefly is a fan-chosen design that is coming to Tribes. Tribes is a sort of Patreon-equivalent service for 2nd Dynasty, only instead of just supporting us, you get bonus STL files every month, some of them which are exclusive to the service.
The Firefly was based on an old sketch of mine from 2006. The design actually made it to print using the d20 Future system way back when, published under UKG Publishing. My 3D skills were extremely limited then, but the years of experience (and having long since completed my 10K hours in hard surface modelling), this time around I feel the result is much more impressive.
The cockpit interior is based on the Stinger, our most recent enclosed rotor aircraft for our cyberpunk month (available as a part of Tribes), and so far the forward first half of the ship is ready for test printing. Aside from the armaments, landing gear and interior cockpit, the entire fighter is scratch-built over two days (and counting).
The runner up might make another appearance further down the line.

Our brand new Shuttle Alpha variant has been released, the core files being available for download for all our Kickstarter backers, and anyone else who wants to purchase it.
Until August 3rd, we have an open funding period on FronTiers. What is FronTiers? It’s My Mini Factory’s new launch feature. FronTiers is a hybrid between the Kickstarter concept and a new release – the core files are released immediately, but for a limited time, there a Stretch Goal-like bonuses called Milestones. After this period, no more milestones are unlocked, but the files remain on the market.
Already we have unlocked an additional two milestones, which combined with the Kickstarter edition of the MK IV, includes a total of two ship designs and 8 variants.
Friend of 2nd Dynasty Kathy Millatt has printed and painted the Shuttle Alpha MK IV. Check it out.
July 5th through 18th, we have a Quickstarter on Kickstarter for our Shuttle Alpha MKIV, a new iteration and rejuvenation of the Shuttle Alpha MKIII with a brand new look, four times the fidelity, and a bunch of new features, including increased printer friendliness.

Hi guys, long time no hear! Yes, we only bother you when there is something new on the horizon, but in this case, it is something old made new!
In 2017, we launched our very first Kickstarter, Starship, and thanks to you guys, we started a journey that took us from a single hobbyist 3D artist to the team of four that 2nd Dynasty is today. We have made more than 10 full 28mm scale starships over the last five years, bringing amazing quality and detail to your tabletop…
But looking back, our original OpenLOCK tiles feel simplistic and dated by our current standards of detail, quality and printability. We wanted to do something about that, but we felt that it would not be right to Kickstart a revision of tiles you guys already funded.
And so we have partnered once again with My Mini Factory to deliver a serious upgrade to our original Starship tiles! Enter Starship: The Next Generation!
Launching on May 4th on My Mini Factory’s brand-new Frontiers platform, this campaign is small in scale, but huge in content! We have redesigned the Corridors and Engineering tiles from Starship, and come Wednesday, we are releasing all 130+ tiles live on Frontiers! No waiting for a Kickstarter to fund, end and deliver, you can get printing the very same day, and boy are these tiles a lot easier to print!
Here’s a few features:
For those of you who backed us way back when, we are offering the updated tiles for just $25 on day 1, but get in quick, as the price goes up for each day of the campaign, which ends June 3rd!
Although we don’t have a funding goal, we will feature new tiles and upgrades, allowing us to tackle curved walls, diagonals, stairs, ladders and more! The more funds we get in during the first 30 days, the more free stuff you guys get!
To get in on the action, and get this awesome free 28mm Landing Shuttle based on our Starfighters II line, sign up here to be notified when the campaign goes live!
Thank you for your past support, and hope to see you in this upcoming campaign!
