Upgrades and Life Extensions GB / Re: Saladin R
« Last post by Old Wombat on Today at 09:09:29 PM »I've seen a preview elsewhere, it's impressive, alright! But it's obvious that the number of tiny pieces of resin involved would drive a sane man crazy! 
Luckily no-one here is sane, so it can't effect us!

I have a Swedish Army shirt in my wardrobe that's in Splinter Cam with only shades of green, no other colours whatsoever.
If it works for the grunts it'll work for the armour!

Ta daaaaaaa !
Maybe a bit green, reasonably sure it will tone down a bit during the next stages.
Have had two very productive days in the workshop. so things are steaming ahead
Some paint stripped off during the unmasking
I was using an AK product called Bronze Green Primer. Some sort of acrylic laquer thing. Don't call it primer, if it needs a primer underneath it to start with.

To be honest, scratch building a vehicle that is already available in another format seems like a bit of a waste of time, resources and effort. My FDM printer is far from perfect and perhaps, one day, I will splash out on a resin printer but, until then, it will do for quick turn-around jobs. Sacrilege?
Fully agree.. probably just getting so used to the magic you can do with some styrene and bits. I have to say that I was this (image the Max Smart this close
close to getting a 3D render of the Saracen to print, when Airfix announced theirs, so as you say, why scratch when you can print.. or wait long enough for an injection kit. I have just finished the Accurate Armour 3.7" AA gun, so stay tuned for a release of that Love your work
