Awesome work. I really love that cage. Maybe some truss looking pieces that can fill in the corner connections would complete it, but I get it would be hard to model something that can fit over the posts.

This cage i designed is based off of the current steel cage nxt uses. But I really like that idea. Would give the cage more dimension and make it look less flat. I plan to make an 18" ring soon which will need a whole new cage so I'll definitely Incorporate that into the next cage I make. |

To avoid messing with the ring posts, you could even just make a 2 sided, 90 degree angle piece that hooks on on both sides to the cage. Then it would just make it a full square on the outside and it would just go flush over the side of the ring posts. |

Woah, amazing work man. That Nitro setup is cool and I like how you actually payed attention to the unique ringposts that Nitro had.

This is completely sick. I've been toying with the idea of getting a 3D printer to make my own headscans (although I'm very inexperienced at painting) and never even thought of doing something like this. Absolutely well done. I love it.

Absolutely awesome, but.....................................
The OCD in me can't stop looking at the location of the "knot" in the ring ropes. You have to pull that over so it's tight up against the ring post and out of the way.

Absolutely well done. I love it. Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it.  - 3d printed head scans are always really cool. I would also love to do them but I'm also lacking in painting experience. Which why i to stick to structural designs. They're much easier  . |
