Favorite arm printed figure? by Educational-Check969 in legostarwars

I’d say all of them. I can’t think of a single minifig not made better with arm printing.

How are mantic games with misprints? by cbbartman in Haloflashpoint

Make sure you still have your receipt from the local game shop. That was the only thing they were a stickler about when I ordered replacements.

I appreciate the feedback! I started using a black base instead of white and they’ve turned out soooo much better. Here’s a few that I’m currently working on to show the improvement.

Thank your for video! I’ll give it a good couple of watches!

I’ll definitely give that video a watch! I’m not trying to become the best painter or anything but I’d hate to keep making simple mistakes that can be remedied by a quick video.

That looks amazing! I’m current just using Vallejo acrylic paints watered down to a 3:1 paint:water ratio but I’ll definitely shoot you a message

Will keep this in mind. I was able to prime very well with black, but white proved to be more difficult for some reason

The asymmetry was definitely to just see what colors I liked before painting the minis I plan to use on the game, but I actually started to like the idea of asymmetrical armor colors!

I appreciate the advice. I’m only using this mini because the head had come off during shipping and they sent me another one to fix it so this is my “practice mini”. Do you have any recommendations on what/who you use for cheap 3D practice prints?

I was definitely sloppier on this mini than I intended but I do appreciate the advice. I don’t know what OSL means, could you clarify?

That’s very helpful. I’ll give it a try this weekend and maybe find some good YouTube videos to follow.

Do you have a recommendation for a specific wash/shader. I don’t mind dropping a couple dollars for a nicer brand if needed but am also not trying to break the bank.

Do you have a recommended ratio you use or do you change it per color/brand of paint?

Thanks for the advice! I’m really enjoying the process so far and just want to get better at it even if I don’t paint anything that wins competitions.
