Track Down RUNNERS with the Logan’s Run DS Sandman Prop

For Immediate Transmission

Last Run, Aquarius Twelve, Year of the City 2271 – Sale Begins …

In the perfection of the domed city, where youth and vitality reign supreme and the city’s rhythm pulses with the countdown to Renewal, a new artifact emerges from the workshops of IDM Imagineering. This is no mere prop – it is a relic, a symbol, a challenge. Behold the LOGANs RUN DS vIDM Sandman Pistol— a precision-3D-printed model kit that defies the brittle age of resin and embraces the enduring strength of PLA.

Designed for the Elite. Built for the Future.

In the arc-lit corridors and sleek atriums of the City, where the very concept of time is measured in cycles, the LOGANs RUN DS vIDM stands as tribute. It is a limited run – only 20 units – each crafted for the elite collector, the devout fan, the daring Runner or vigilant Sandman alike.

Made from PLA plastic, this kit is lightweight yet uncommonly strong, surpassing traditional resin in resilience and versatility. It invites you to assemble, to transform, to breathe life into design. It comes with an assembly manual and the lifetime backing of IDM’s replacement-parts warranty — meaning your build is not just a model, but a marvel built to last.

Features That Echo the Pulse of the City

  • Self-assembly model kit: pieces arrive ready — you bring the skill, the passion, the vision.
  • Crafted in PLA so you may glue, file, sand and paint as though restoring a City artifact.
  • Compatible with custom additions: internal lighting, display screens, sound modules — build it your way.
  • UK orders shipped in Grey; overseas orders in Orange PLA. Estimated lead-time: 4-6 weeks after order.

Why Sandmen will Demand It

In a society where one’s “last day” is pre-determined and youth is the currency of freedom, the LOGANs RUN DS vIDM is more than decoration. It is a statement. A connection to the world of chase and escape, of Clock Town’s hidden corridors, of the pursuit of meaning beyond the flashing bead. Owning this kit places you in that world. It is homage to a culture of defiance.

Assemble Your Legacy

Whether you’re an aspirant Runner longing for the open reaches of the world outside the Domes, or a Sandman committed to maintaining order inside them, this model invites you to craft. To personalize. To declare your place in the countdown.

Launch the build. Sand down the imperfections. Arm it with your own lighting or voice control. Make it yours. Because in the city, beauty and strength are not mutually exclusive — they are inseparable.

Star Wars inspired Helmet

Star Wars [inspired] Helmet for a Full Suit.

Another update on the slow progress of this personal, in-house project at IDM Imagineering.

This full suit of Star Wars inspired Helmet for our Stormtrooper Armour is being printed on our Creality CR10-S4 and FormBOT TREX 3d Printers in white, recycled PLA Filament.

The hardest part has been keeping the print as clean and white as possible while we glue and sand and smooth the parts. The 3D prints were fantastically smooth to start with, but some of the curves always suffer from stepping layers in FDM 3D printing.

We have tried to keep to using metal files to sand/smooth, since sand comes off all sandpapers then discolours and embeds itself in the white PLA. A combination of filing, scraping, shaving and 3D-pen welding has gone into achieving a first-look great result!

Next: onto the painting!..

Harry Potter inspired Auror Badge

Auror Badge inspired by Harry Potter for COSplay

This is a 3D Print made in ABS-like Resin from our new resin printers and the detail is quite a change from our FDM printers, as is the time to print and cleanup.

The modelling was done by Adam using Cinema4D and cleanup was done via MeshLAB and processed on Prise Slicer and Chitubox before being output as a 3D Print at 0.05mm layers.

Turning concepts from film and fiction into a reality, into something physical and memorable, is an integral part of what motivates us at IDM using 3D Print, Casting, machining or traditional model making crafts.

We are creative model makers based in Leeds (UK) with over 35 years experience using mixed media.

Engineering using 3D Printing

3D Scanning for Reverse Engineering

3D scanning is a great asset to our design and imagination. At IDM, this process allows us to create complex shapes quickly into 3D CAD so that they can then be worked on from other creative software applications.

We are looking forward to using our 3D scanners for body-sizing matching, weapon-grips, textures, creating props for film/tv production, cloning sculptured forms.
The possibilities are endless! for 3D Scannng.

Judge Dredd 2012 inspired 1/6th Scale Armour

1/6th Scale Model Dredd Armour

Using our existing CAD files for these Dredd Armour pieces we scaled them down to 1/6th size and printed them on our *NEW* Resin DLP 3D Printers in black ABS-like resin..

The result was excellent, especially considering that direct scaling down files can leave prints a bit thin in areas. Not this time! 

Some parts are tiny — like the Dredd Gas Grenade arm — and may be better joined to the Grenade body itself. 

What challenges have you faced when using a 1/6th Scale Model?

Red Dwarf Lister’s Jacket STAR COMISSION

Red Dwarf – Lister’s Jacket STAR [COMMISSION]

IDM Imagineering - Model Makers  -  Red Dwarf COSplay

SMEG! : Where’s the Point in this one? …
We might be 6 Million years away from Reality, but it happened at IDM now!
https://www.facebook.com/IDMimagineering/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums

This is the making-of a 3D Print Commission from a Client; a styled replica of the Star (15cm wide) on the back of Lister’s Jacket from the Cult TV program Red Dwarf [Series 10, EP.1, Trojan]

The Process to work with IDM on a Commission went like this …

00a
First it started with a Facebook Message on the IDM Facebook Page here:
https://www.facebook.com/IDMimagineering/

00b
This screenshot outlines the conversation, feedback and review with the Client as we develop their commissioned work…

Research … that thing we all hated at School. Now it all makes sense …

IDM Imagineering - Model Makers  -  Red Dwarf COSplay
We Sketch, Design, Consult and work our way through various 3D Computer Aided design Prototype designs …

IDM Imagineering - Model Makers  -  Red Dwarf COSplay
We test print (many times) and then often return to 3D CAD and refine, refine, refine … then when it’s good we 3D Print, again.

IDM Imagineering - Model Makers  -  Red Dwarf COSplay
After 3D Printing there is some cleanup and aesthetic considerations for weight, strength and mechanical fixing, glueing, more testing, testing, testing

IDM Imagineering - Model Makers  -  Red Dwarf COSplay
And then it’s MADE !
The project can go on from here to Painting or Mass Production Casting or multiple 3D Prints.

IDM can take your Concept from Start to Finish.
IDM Imagineering have been producing Custom Built Props and Special Effects for 4 years using a broad range of Technologies and Materials and supplying these to the UK and Internationally.
