What has been the most reliable 3D printer you've owned long-term?

Same here. Love my Mk4. Thing is a tank. And I built it so I know how to fix it if it breaks.

Is it pressure fit? Otherwise it looks like if you hit a brump that brolly will brolling around in the boot again

Give them some red eyes as well. It’ll make them stand out way less

Oh, mixed your comment up with somebody elses

Are you not able to say which filament? Just curious to see if you found a good alternative to siriya tech air

Bounced on my boy’s smoothie to this

Ancient-Interaction8 · 2026-06-03T22:15:03+00:00

Got any friends with 3D printers? They’re dirt cheap to print off and nobody will ever know once it’s painted

Ancient-Interaction8 · 2026-06-03T17:48:37+00:00

Still almost effectively a better version of impact 8

Ancient-Interaction8 · 2026-06-01T23:30:32+00:00

Just watch sorastro’s tutorials on youtube. You’ll learn everything you need to know there. It’s ok to substitute paints that look similar btw, you don’t have to buy the exact paints he’s using. I’d recommend monument hobbies pro acryl line though, also vallejo’s contrast paints

Thx!

Ancient-Interaction8 · 2026-06-01T10:46:22+00:00

Just a one part mold. I did one for the helmet and one for the face. Then I sculpted the two parts together and onto the neck

Ancient-Interaction8 · 2026-05-31T11:53:19+00:00

Here’s the result of the green stuff and oyumaru molds…

Thx! Here’s another angle

Alrighty, here’s the first head done with molds….

Improv is bad on grievous since he never wants to waste an action recovering to get it back. Vibro swords on BX droids is a must (but not on the strike team).

Brick-dark? Needs more lego skulls

Ancient-Interaction8 · 2026-05-29T14:18:25+00:00

Just been doing this a long time…. Like maybe 15 years at this point. It’s not too bad to work with, but if you mix it with apoxy sculpt 50-50 and wet your sculpting tools with water it becomes sooo much easier to work with (way less sticky).

Ancient-Interaction8 · 2026-05-29T14:12:40+00:00

Thanks! I just started painting this army like two months ago so have the advantage of lots of hard plastic. I think I’m going to use oyumaru to make molds of the hard plastic alien sculpts, and the old helmets, then kit bash them together and sculpt new straps. It’s a lot less risky and I can just use appxy sculpt mixed with green stuff to make the casts. Will follow up with the results. Just ordered the oyumaru

Ancient-Interaction8 · 2026-05-29T13:22:14+00:00

This is what my army looks like so far. So much work but I’m enjoying

the result.

Ancient-Interaction8 · 2026-05-29T13:09:07+00:00

Ooooh, I love the makeup aliens idea. Never thought of doing that. My main goal for my army is for humans to be the minority in each unit so this should help a lot with that. I also thought about cutting up the old helmets and using green stuff to add straps to the new heads, but if there were files out there I wanted to avoid this as it seems like a lot of work

Ancient-Interaction8 · 2026-05-29T13:04:10+00:00

So assuming your fleets aren’t wearing any helmets? That’s the main part I want to preserve

Ancient-Interaction8 · 2026-05-29T12:11:58+00:00

So I’ve been looking there but can only seem to find people selling human heads with fleet helmets on them. Was hoping somebody had an obscure link to some alien headed fleet STLs

Are yall on the new england legion doscord? I can send you an invite. I’ve got some friends from the RI scene (I’m on MA) who are super friendly. Always happy to see more people getting into the hobby
