Nickey’s Hatchery All Access Pass
Something different from Nickey’s Hatchery, instead of a monthly subscription, for a one off All Access Pass you get to download every miniature created in the year and all for $50, great value!
My name is Nickey and I’m a freelance digital sculptor and the owner of the Nickey’s Hatchery brand of miniatures and collectibles.
The past several years I’ve been releasing miniatures for 3d printing with a constant focus on improving, building a community and providing interesting models. From 2018 to the end of 2020 in particular I ran a Patreon where you could get a set of minis every month for 5-10$. It was a great way to get to know the 28-32mm tabletop gaming community, test a lot of minis and have an outlet for my creativity. For a lot of the races and creatures I also wrote Lore and, with the help of friends, also make some stats for 5e. Aside from a bit of side income and the opportunity to build a community, it was a crazy way to practice with very short deadlines and ever-increasing demand for more miniatures each month. However, by the end of 2020 I was completely burnt out. I felt my creativity go down, constantly pressured to release quickly and it was no longer a viable way for me to continue improving my skills as a sculptor (which is always goal #1!).
Enter 2021! With the start of the new year I decided to try a new way to fund my personal brand – the All-Access Pass. The idea was simple – no monthly release schedule meaning more time to sculpt and test my miniatures, lower price for a whole year of minis and a calmer working environment. I am happy to say that the community seems to have received it well. The All-Access Pass costs only 50$ and as of April has over 30 miniatures included in it. It has also let me increase the quality of my work steadily and devote more time to the Hatchery.
What does the future hold for the All-Access Pass? This year I’ve decided to focus on sculpting minis for the Lost Mines of Phandelver adventure to make a full Set with monsters and NPCs. Aside from that I’m also going back and updating some of my more embarrassing models from before 2020. All of these new, improved models will also be included in the all-access pass. Simply put – everything I do this year, you get it. And the price will stay at 50$ no matter how many models I release to my backers. Oh but the 2021 All-Access Pass is not all you get.. if you wanna catch up on another year of models – the whole 2020 Collection is also now available at 30$! There are limited spots for that one though!
