Printed on: Elegoo Saturn 2 8K
Material: Resin
Description
Photographed before clear coat. Printed in Elegoo ABS-like V2 resin. Primed with Vallejo black airbrush primer, zenethil coat of AP grey, then drybrush with AP white and painted in "slapchop" style with AP contrast paints. Basing material is Geek Gaming Scenics Base Ready Scrublands.
Notes: This model is gorgeous, however you will notice clear layer lines on the arm, blade, and other parts of the model. Perhaps this is due to my print settings but rotating the parts differently before supporting could also help. Next time I print this, I will brush the arms with a layer of resin and cure it in order to alleviate this issue. The presupports on these model are quite large and some force was needed in order to remove them. Also, you can see that the model size is a bit small for the 120 x 92 bases used for comparable models in popular wargames. Scaling up by 110% or ever 120% might be appropriate. Finally, the entire model is solid, which uses a lot of resin and makes the model quite heavy, this could be avoided by hollowing out the body and adding drain holes.
Despite the complaints above, I enjoyed painting this model and will likely be printing several more to fill out my army.
