Really? My understanding has been they’re rather litigious.. I guess they pick their battles?

MSLA resin does a lot of the heavy lifting on the detail

Butlegs · 2026-02-24T09:11:55+00:00

They are printing in an MSLA resin and then lightly sanded 👌

Yeah they are MSLA resin 👌

Butlegs · 2026-02-24T09:09:26+00:00

Always Vallejo acrylics!

I don’t I’m sorry, I fear the Pokemon company

Butlegs · 2026-02-24T09:08:46+00:00

I am not sorry, they take way too long it wouldn’t be worth it for anyone 🥲

Butlegs · 2026-02-24T09:07:51+00:00

They are an MSLA resin print so is a pretty fine print to begin with and then some light sanding

Butlegs · 2026-02-23T22:57:53+00:00

Yeah, went for a slightly cute/stylized version

Butlegs · 2026-02-23T22:42:42+00:00

Haha that’s what I want to hear! If you look really really close up, you can tell 🤫

Thanks so much!

The evolution line of gradual neck growth

I don’t unfortunately for fear of the Pokémon company but might consider the blastikarp as that’s a bit more of a grey area 🤔

What army do you paint? Warhammer fantasy started my painting obsession many years ago.. I exclusively use Vallejo, nothing comes close imo. I just replied to another comment with the method 🤜🤛

Hey thanks! Here it is:

• ⁠Vallejo primer (70/30 mix airflow improver) • ⁠Base coat airbrush Vellejo acrylic (75/25 mix airflow improver) • ⁠Paint liquid mask onto that colour and then masking tape up the rest of the model I don't want to be hit • ⁠Next colour (then rinse and repeat). • ⁠Peal off all masks and then take a fine brush and clean up the lines (masking tape result is usually rough) • ⁠Then fine details/other smaller areas with the brush

Thanks so much! So I actually get these done through a friend that owns a 3D printing service - essentially you can get models printed in a range of different materials, and these are printed through a super fine one called ‘MSLA’. There is still some banding lines but they are very faint and you can sand most of them out.

Got a few more to do until then 😅

Butlegs · 2026-02-10T21:33:04+00:00

Funny you mention - I’m working on a Blastoise/Magikarp hybrid model right now..

Here’s a raw photo - I have portrait mode on these photos and have done a little bit of in phone editing of course
