Just airbrushed some black primer on this model.
The local hobby store is having a monthly painting competition. They were giving out free 3d printed models. There was a little selection of different models, I picked this guy. He came with a 25mm puddle base that was a bit too small for him.
I built up the base with corkboard (ol' reliable) and a coat of AK Terrain Desert Sand. I wish I had "thinned" the rock he was standing on so it was more of a jagged protrusion of rock, not a kinda square looking thing. I made those crystals from hexagon plastic rods. (They're .125"/3.2mm, the largest the Plastruct company has in their catalogue. I have no idea what I was thinking when I ordered 0.03"/0.8mm sized ones, they're so small, they're like tiny, round plastic cables, I messed up)
I put the model on a big tactical rock because I think the posing was a bit off. The default model was hunched a bit too forward, hiding some details, I tilted it not just to the side, but backwards as well to reveal more of the face.
I cropped the photo but didn't compress it. If you open the full image you can see the 3d printed layer lines. In a close up picture like this they look FUCKING CRAZY! There's so fucking many of them! They're everywhere!
I sanded away the most obvious print lines on the sword, the head and some of the raised surfaces, but jesus CHRIST they're everywhere.
How common are these print lines on 3d printed models? What resolution is needed to hide these? Is this is because they printed it too fast? Is this what someone should expect if they order a 3d printed model?
