How would you do a white glow for the repulsors?

Dupli-Color is super thin, it's almost like a super-fine lacquer, but I was told it's some kind of urethane. One nice thing about it is that you can paint over it with acrylics, and if you screw up,...

Hulkbuster Update.

Finally got the paint I was waiting for. I had a few different options before me, including transparent red that gets layered over a bright silver. The challenge was getting...

Let's just call it a "Maxi". It's one my biggest prints to date. Previously I had done a Warhammer 40K Imperial Knight at 150% the size of the GamesWorkshop models, and a large scale (about 1:7...

Ok, so here's an update to the big monster I'm working on. All the parts are printed except for the diorama base, which is huge. Still trying to figure that part out. Meanwhile, I'm still trying...

If you think that's cool, check out what I'm currently working on:

I added the Warhammer mini for size reference.

well, my concerns seem to have been unfounded. The fine textures did not look very sharp on the bare resin, but once I applied a coat of white primer, they came out of hiding. Check out these...

...continuing my Wolverine OCD...

The digital art model was done at 1/4 scale, but that would have been a bit tpo big to print, so I printed it at 1/12 scale. So here, Wolverine is about...

I think so so myself, but In looking at both under magnification, the only real difference is the much smaller white reflection dot. So without much ado, here is an extreme closeup (click to...

My son like the Logan bust so I gave it to him, I then printed another and painted it, this time for myself. This one is a bit different, but I think it helped refine some of the process, I used...

And the bust is finished as well. I finally got a chance to do a better job on the eyes, which had been my weakness.

Of course comments and criticism are welcome.

Just out of cusriosity, did you ever consider using a 3D printer for the smaller decorative parts, such as this Adeptus Mechanicus logo, or the aguilas you worked so hard on?

Done. Decided against using the unmasked head. It's simply too "pretty" to be Wolverine. I tried to simulate Wolvies hairy arms, but it didn't come out that well, so I stopped before I ruined the...

"alrightie then"... On the heels of my current comic book characters OCD, and Wolverine specifically, here are 2 new prints, fresh out of the oven...

80's comics, classic costume Wolverine, and a...

Finished... well almost. I can't find the piece of blade that's supposed to stick through Wolverine's arm, and I'm not going to start the printer just to print that tiny piece. Next time I print...

So, a quick work in progress update. Painting each one separately makes a world of difference. On the other hand, getting a solid layer of yellow using Vallejo paints is next to impossible. Using...

So, I was having a hell of a time trying to paint Wolvie and Deadpool, I just couldn't get my paintbrush in between the 2 to get a decent layer of paint, and then there were a lot of accidental paint...

Usually I start painting the characters, then the diorama/base. This time around I switched things around. I think it came out pretty good.

Fight? What fight, they're just hugging it out. :laugh:

I just found this model on the web, and I think it's got to be one of my all time faves.

It doesn't get any more iconic than this constant rivalry.

Here is the model fresh out of the...

Here is another bust, one of my favorite characters, Deadpool.

Since I posted Dredd, I bought a new 3D printer and ran a whole bunch of prints, including a few more busts. Here is the latest print job. I was going for a wood carve look, but It's not that good,...

"I gotta be mad painting a yellow space marine!"

A little late to this party, but I read your comments about painting the Imperial fists marine.

Here is a challenge for you. Get the new...

This model, along with others were designed by a guy named David Eastman. You can download this, and other works from the link below:

Thanks. I did a bit more work on the base and the helmet (made it a bit more glossy) and a little cleanup .

I thought I'd take a break from the Warhammer stuff and do something different, so yesterday I 3D printed the busts of some iconinc comic book characters: Judge Dredd, Deadpool and Superman. These...

OK, so when it came time to build it, I used my FormLabs Form 1+ printer to print all the parts. Since this is fully articulated, I had this idea of using magnets to hold joints together in some...

After seeing Blackadder's awesome walking cathedral, I though I'd post my attempt at making a Warhammer model from scratch. Technically, it wasn't from scratch, I bought a Games Workshop Imperial...

Wow.... I'm floored. This has to be the most impressive thing I've seen.

No words... speechless..:drool::drool:

I love the look of your models, and I particular I;m quite intrigued by the way you achieve the "spattered" look on you capes.

Can you describe the technique you use on this for newbies like me.

OK, on to the next job, another primarch, Perturabo of the Iron warriors. This one is a pretty impressive model, with the main character standing atop a derelict, half-burried imperial knight.This...

The final result.

So Magnus is now complete. The diorama base needs to be painted, but Magnus is done.

I know, but in this particular case, the mould lines were in places that I just couldn't get to without destroying some of the adjoining details, so I just left them alone.

Besides, at my age I...

Here is a project progress shot. From basic gold armor over black primer, then the wash, then a couple of photos after adding the details. Of course it has a long way to go, but I thought I'd post...

@ ekipage Thank you. I looked at your WIP thread and it's fun to watch the model progression. While I do take some shots of my progress, I prefer to post photos of the final work.

@ Gorb. Thanks. I'm working on improving the technique. I guess practice makes perfect/better really. BTW, I was looking at some of your work on Instagram, and that ork boy on the Akira/Kaneda...

@Kallfa Thanks, yes, it looks a lot better, but it still needs work (my technique). BTW, loved your Stone Troll.

The next project, another Forgeworld model, Magnus the Red. This one is a bit more complicated, so it might take some time. Here is a photo of the assembled model, minus a few pieces (head,...

I'm not sure it can stand up to high magnification without showing lots of flaws, but since you asked, here it is. But remember that at actual size, these flaws are hard to see.

Finally Horus himself is finished. When I was looking around, I found another one here that looks really good, done by a studio that does commissions, but I'm not at that level yet. Still I'm...

I really like the concept, and the pose is really cool. Total Ninja !

This work is really beautiful. Love the colors on all these models.

Though I'm new here, I've been collecting minis for a while now, and amassed a fairly decent collection of Warhammer minis, and even 3D printed a bunch of them. I previously rough painted a bunch of...

Thank you, yes it is helpful.

Regarding highlights, I was never a big fan of it, I did do some, using the dry brushing, but not the light source type like the ones you showed. I might try it. As...

I had painted the diorama based without actually paying too much attention to the model itself, so when I put them together, there was big difference in the base. The copper/brass surface of the...

Thanks.

Here is the diorama base, and the completed model.

This is getting really good. Can't wait to see the rest.

Up for commentary & Critique my latest paint job. Alexis Polux. I still have to paint the diorama base, but the character is done. I still have problems with painting faces, especially eyes but...

New guy here. I've been a fan of Warhammer miniatures for a long time, and while I don't play the tabletop game, I do enjoy painting the miniatures.

I've had an affinity for the Imperial Fists...
