Warhammer 40,000 - As of late I’ve been getting more and more 3D printed models on my table many of which have been unique sculpts rather than recreations of existing models. It’s exciting to see creative ways to “scratch-build” models. However with new technologies come new hurdles, for example, these models painted up really nicely, but after i took photos and packed them up for delivery I ran into a major issue.
When moving the box I had these models packed up in I noticed the bottom of the box was wet. Odd, I thought not seeing anything else in the area that could have caused to box to get wet. So I opened it up to investigate and saw everything was covered in a grayish slime. Confused I removed the models and noticed several seem to have exploded, bursting open.
After posting some photos of the mess on some other groups I learned that this is common with resin printing it something is printed “hollow” without holes. The resin inside doesn’t drain or cure so it can swell and cause the models to “burst” open.
I now have them sitting in the sun to see if I can get the mess to cure and potentially fix the models by adding more gore.
Warhammer 40,000 – 3D printing continues to impress me, while I don’t think I can find the time to devote to learning to do it and the patience to tweak design files, I am impressed when others do it. This giant missile launching tank is a filament print that looks very similar to the Praetor resin kit.
I painted this to match the Death Korp force I’ve painted components for. The simple camo scheme looks great on this large model and helps to hide the fine lines from the filament print.
Warhammer 40,000 – Sometimes it amazes me the things people come up with to 3D Print. This model is for a Death Korp force I’ve been painting bits and pieces for over the last year or so. I guess the model is based on a photo from WWI which is very cool.
Terrain Making – A while back a friend was kind enough to gift me a 3D Printer, up until recently I haven't had time to really do much more with it than take it out of the box. (Initially the issue was my old ass Mac wouldn't run the software which turned into not having time to mess with it). Last weekend I finally got it up and running and downloaded a few designs from thingiverse.com to try printing.
