All hand brushed ( I don't own an airbrush, I wish I did... :/) I used 1 paint brush and several paints, the only non-acrylic was the silver gloss on the shoulders.Quote:

Geoff, That's a real nice job. What type of filament were you printing with? Do you think the paint used on model cars would bond nicely to the surface of the 3D prints ?
It's really good to see painted items, and so well done. Please continue to post what you are doing in the future, I would like to see more.
thanks, I just use plain old ABS, any colour. I spray all of them a matte undercoat (very lightly) which helps the acrylic paint stick better and gives you a better surface to work with than the shiny plastic.Quote:

Here is another example of one I did yesterday. Ideally I am trying not to Sand any of the prints at all (not for lack of liking sanding) but it's more about speed of production. I print most of my stuff now with 2 shells and 0%infill to both save plastic and time.
The figure below took 2 hours to print (its 10cm high) and painting about an hour. (the model by andreas can be found here) Alot of people dont really paint their prints which is fair enough, but it's one of those things I always wanted to do, I love plastic model kits and painting them (and have for about 30 yrs now...yeah im a big kid at heart) so I always visioned printing my own model snap kits and painting them, sadly the printing resolution isnt quite there for these printers (in that small scale) but they are close.
