3D printed models - Some more experiences...

Hi guys

Some more experiences with 3d printed models that I got for free from a friend.

So the least I could do was to made a little base and add some painting :)


Batmobile Tumber



















Warhammer 40k Space Marines

Small one:













Bigger One:
















Kind of a "rustic finish", but not totally unpleasant to my eye.


One day everything will be perfect, fast and cheap.  Until then....

It gives that tumbler a sort of alien look. Crazy!

Looks like Zimmerit.

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

Yeah.  The roughness of the printing works well in this case.  Gives it a more 'military' look.

These are great and the printing effect serves nicely as zimmerit on the batmobile tumbler.
