3D models

There have been three fan attempts to recreate the 3D model for the Iron Demon by inspecting the visual evidence we have from the pre-beta period:

• This model on TurboSquid by Ashley Davison
• This model by Seventeen Seconds, used in Konoko Payne by Pierre
• This model by bobbysoon, based on the above model. This one was used in multiple AE packages; see this one for a starting point.
