Three of the 3d printed (miniature) statues. With a simple grey tone they look much much better.

I am still not 100% happy with the lines the printed object have, but will look at settings in the print program so this might be avoided.

Paint techniques such as washes are a bit difficult to use because of the lines in the model.

Looking good :)

Lines are pretty much unavoidable but you can use more detailed layer heights, plus extra base primer layers, otherwise it is down to sanding or bondo etc :)

Also i used airbrush as primer. Perhaps a bad idea actually ...rathet use aircan primer...

Thanks. Going to play a bit more with settings ... but resin printer is looking tempting ...

Yeah only problems with resin are more expensive prints (though these models are small) and the toxic goop :)

I follow 3d printed tabletop on YouTube :)
