About

2nd Dynasty is a company in Sweden that creates 3D printable science fiction scenery for tabletop games or display. We are a small company, but with a wonderful track record of delivering seven successful kickstarters, releasing our Starship line of 3D printable starship deck plans, compatible with the OpenLOCK system (and other lock systems via conversion clips).

Our designs are influenced by the nostalgia of 70s, 80s and 90s science fiction and anime. In 2021, we acquired the Traveller license to produce 3D printable Traveller ships. We released the 28-mm scaled Type-S Scout/Courier in the summer of 2021. Some months later that same year a collection of 1:270 scaled Traveller RPG Starships Miniatures was premiered. A year later the 28-mm scaled Free Trader Beowulf was released and in October 2023 we made a successful Kickstarter with a collection of 28-mm scaled Small Craft.

History

2nd Dynasty was started in 2016 as a freelance company to handle large and small animation projects. Working in closely with Dockhus Animation, we provide a wide range of services in animation, including 3D modelling, animation and rendering, visual effects, and post production in After Effects.

We have worked on award-winning films, such as Gordon & Paddy (2017) (3D effects, compositing) and My Burden (2016) (compositing), and commissioned films, such as Project Sunrise (H&M Foundation, 2016) and Biogas 2020 (Innovatum/Interreg/EU, 2016).

Since 2017, we have also developed a heavy focus on 3D printing, designing and sculpting models for use in theme park attractions at Liseberg (Ragnarök, 2017), and creating our own line of science-fiction themed OpenLOCK-compatible 3D printed objects for tabletop role-playing and tabletop war gaming, which had great success in multiple Kickstarters.
