- This is a 3D model for the game TONKS, or just for fun. It was a blast to make and bring to life.
Let me know what you think!

I mentioned being undecided in the video about publishing the 3D files
but I decided to list them on my cults3D page: cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/rotating-tonk-mech-for-tabletop-games
They are also available on my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/BPCustomCreations
Thanks, these will work perfect for my ork army. all the printable bits made the patreon absolutely worth it
@@antigrav6004 whoa you're quick! I'd love to see how you paint them up if you post on social media 👍
Great job on the model! And a big shoutout for tagging your work! So many models out there were never tagged and tracking down the original creator can be an adventure! Thanks for the video, keep it up!
Thank you! I like to leave a little mark on the models that have the space
This is a great project! Thank you for putting this video together!
My pleasure!
Nice! I’ve had “building a tonk” on my list of things to do, this kinda gave me that missing spark. Excellent build and perfect paint treatment
Thanks buddy! I've been wanting to do one for a while too!
Amazing love see what you come up with looking forward to the next one
😎👍 Thanks!
I love the addition of the magnet, looks like its a great way to have a rotating bit such as in this model, and i love the texturing too, very well made.
Thank you! The game of Tonks requires a rotating turret for gameplay as well 👍
That texture effect looks great! Definitely gonna be trying that on a build!
Another great robot maker! ❤
Thanks Dave! It would look good on almost anything I think
Yeah, this is a great way to represent cast iron or even a light rust undercoat.
Back in my modeling days we would use liquid cement and baking soda to get this same effect. (An awesome way to replicate an old rusty muffler on a daily driver.)
Always entertaining and inspiring, Ben. The texture effect looks great! 🍁☕👍
Thanks Andrew! You should try it on a diecast car if the opportunity comes up! Maybe halloween related
Excellent work translating the drawing into a functional tonk! The texturing looks fantastic.
Thanks! I want to do more now
Awesome job!
Love that you already designed them with the magnets in mind
Thanks! Yes, that was a satisfying feature
Here I was thinking I was ahead of the curve as I said to myself while watching; "you know that little recess would be a great spot for a magnet"...🤔
Cool build, really has a cast iron look to it from that texture!
Thank you! It came out nice
Great build! And I am loving the wee BP Customs logo in the bottom, nice touch.
Thank you! It's something I want to sneak into all of my models
This is awesome, my friend.
Thank you!
Recently found your channel, watched your videos twice over. Keep up with the great work!!
Wow! Thanks
What a great looking mech. Great video buddy.
Thanks so much! 👍
Looks great - good 3D modelling, texturing and paint.
Thank you!
Love the way you went with legs instead of tracks, nice!
Thanks!
Very cool
Thank you sir!
Once again an awesome build .
Very smooth look.
Full watch and share .
Mike 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Mike! 👍
These are so incredibly awesome BP!
Thanks Nick!
How awesome, such a great work 👍👍
Thank you!
Brilliant as always Ben! Great work!
Thank you so much!
Love the look BP, great work! 🎉
Thanks man!
Very cool.
Thank you!
wiiiiiild
Thanks Trent! Making models just makes me want to make more models 😂
I got all of my questions answered 😂 Thanks for sharing man 🤘
Sure thing! 😁
I love the design of it, my head canon has it used as an armored carrier for the frog's tadpoles!
The texture is fantastic, I've never seen that technique used before and I will definatly be trying it out. As a small detail, I love the inclusion of your logo to the underside.
Thank you for the kind words! I like the tadpole carrier idea 😂
The texture is basically the same as drywall knockdown texture you would find in a house
Great job Man! :)
Thank you!
Awesome build Ben it turned out really cool for sure.
Thank you! 😎👍
Great effects techniques.. I'll be trying these for sure..! Awesome build my friend!!
Thank you! I hope you have success with the effect
LOVE that texture effect. And I actually have modeling paste, just never tried using it this way, will definitely give it a go! ❤
Nice! It's essentially the same as a knockdown finish on drywall
Such a fun and cool build Ben! I love it!
Thanks Jim! You didn't even notice I'm procrastinating something else 😅😅😅
@@BPCustomCreations No worries or rush Ben! I have some things going on with me for the next couple weeks or so, so it's unlikely I would get anything done with the pics soon. Enjoy each piece of crap I put in that box lol
the model is really cool awesome work!
Thank you!
Really love the video. And I am intrested in the tonks game. I hope you release the stls files please.
Thank you! I ended up publishing the files on my cults3d page. The link is in the pinned comment or video description if you're interested
Cute little bot, and it really looks like the illustration in the book. The Japenese company "Mr Hobby, have released a series of surface treatment "paints" (they are not exactly paints, but its the only description I could use, as the explanation doesn't translate from Japanese).
They are called "Mr Surfacer" 1200, 1500, 2000. You can airbrush or paint them on and they give a distinctive surface appearance to whatever you have used it on. e.g. if you had used it on the bot, it would have given a completely uniform "pitted" appearance that sits on the surface perfectly, and after painting, gives a genuine old, aged, decrepit appearance.
Its a little expensive, but a bottle or spray can lasts for ages - I've had my bottle for over 8 months, have used it loads, and there is only about 1cm missing from when I bought it, so it should last me for at leasr another 4 years at the rate of use.
Hope this helps someone in some way.
Thanks!
Ironically I am in Japan and I use Mr. Surfacer all the time but as a primer. The only thing I've know it for is as a filler/primer. Do you stipple it on to get texture?
It iw very cute model! Bro, you made good model from picture)))
Thank you! It's fun to interpret 2D into 3D
@@BPCustomCreations Yeah! Especially when you upgrade this ide with your own detail))
Are we able to download that? they look like the perfect replacement for killa kanz in my army
Not at the moment but I'll post an update on my Instagram soon
Great job. The mech pilot cannot see forward, only to the sides :)
Oh snap! Maybe there is a camera of sorts on the inside 🤔
Love the design and the paint job!
Gotta ask tho... How does the gunner aim the machine gun if there's no window above it? :D
😅😅😅 Don't ask such hard questions! 😂
@@BPCustomCreations I gots to know man! I gots to know! xD
do Iron Harvest ,Man!
There are already some models out there for iron harvest. I prefer to make things that don't already exist but the aesthetic is sweet 👍
great build..buy did you send yahyarushdan one?
Thanks! Yeah, he's getting the painted frog mech and this tonk mech
Nice design, much not much use if you are not going to release the stls.
Yeah I decided to list them on my cults3d page and patreon. You can check the pinned comment if you're keen
@@BPCustomCreations - Thank you for the reply. Cults has a pretty bad rep these days. Will you be listing on any of the better, newer sites?
@@christopherd.winnan8701 really? I actually wasn't aware of anything about Cults. The most direct way to get the files and all of my shared files is by joining the Patreon. The only other site I know is myminifactory but it's crazy expensive for creators like me who don't aim to sell a lot
I’ve been messing with blender but I never know How many times to decimate to make smooth miniatures 🤷🏻♂️
There are so many things to learn it's overwhelming. I just make sure I'm not viewing the model with smoothing on and then I'll know how smooth it should come out. If you select all objects, right click and select "shade flat" you can see the actual geometery without viewport shading. My topology is a nightmare but it works for me for printing 🙂
@@BPCustomCreations thank you I’ll give this a go 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Impressive work! I like that you built texture manually at the building/painting stage rather than 3D modelling it. Two points of critique though:
First; the model doesn't really work for Tonks, does it. The body doesn't have an orientation, only the turret. In Tonks, the orientation of the tank and that of the turret are handled separately, impacting the possible direction of movement and shooting respectively.
Second; I'm concerned about the ethics of lifting a design literally from another artist's work and then distributing it as your own for money. Are they aware of that?
Thanks!
I'm aware of the Tonks rules about direction and I plan to distinguish the "front" with paint in my later paintjobs. This one is more of just a display model.
As far as the design goes I message back and forth with the illustrator privately we're cool. Lifting and distributing someone else's artwork is not an accurate description of what I'm doing but I appreciate the concern for an artist.
