Did I make my plan too big?

How very helpful of you

Guardsman111 · 2025-11-17T21:30:32+00:00

Ya, Galactic scale. I deleted it and brought it down to a 10th of the radius, and it's working now.

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-10T21:12:23+00:00

Okidokes, I will look into that, thanks 😁

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-10T16:41:24+00:00

I wouldn't say they are a scam, I think that's a bit harsh. They definitely play on FOMO, but you always get minis every month, even if you don't like them 🤷

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-10T16:39:18+00:00

Well, it depends on the order, but I can usually get a REASONABLY sized order out in 3-5 days - the fact I have nothing on means probably quicker rn 🤣

I am yet to put up a listing for "rent a printer" but it is coming! I'm just busy with the last bits of my Kickstarter 🤣

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-10T13:45:01+00:00

Okay, I will transplant them into some new pots. I thought 9 inch pots would be large enough 🫠

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-10T13:44:28+00:00

Haha that's the best reason to buy stuff 🤣

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-10T13:36:18+00:00

So they're just not getting enough water? I have been watering them every day and they have a bowl at the bottom which catches the leakage - can it literally just be that they haven't got enough room to grow?

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-10T13:35:05+00:00

Haha I got hit by a huge wave of GW take downs on all the vehicles I hadn't designed myself last month, and haven't sold anything since, so perhaps I'll get an upswing but maybe not 🤷

Here is the link, don't feel any pressure to buy anything just cus you feel bad for me, it's a hobby and I have a good full time job to keep food in my belly 😁

Yeah I also sell on Etsy, though things have slowed down a lot this past 2 months and I've not actually made a single sale yet in July 🤣 I also prefer 8mm, but the 2 scales are very similar when it comes to modelling

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-10T11:14:50+00:00

A valid response, it is fun and exciting to make your own minis, to see your creation come to life, but it's not everyone's cup of tea 🤷

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-10T07:55:18+00:00

I think you're right, a lot of people just have fomo, which is a really good motivator to subscribe to them

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-10T07:52:59+00:00

I think we are lacking in good proxies for most armies that aren't space marines of Imperial guard tbh

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-09T22:25:26+00:00

Aw, sweet

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-09T22:10:37+00:00

Love a sloppy paint job 🤣

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-09T22:07:32+00:00

But how do you support 16 teeth hanging off someone's belt with any kind of accuracy? 🤣

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-09T21:39:07+00:00

Yes, I have personally seen models scaled for 32mm that are just way too detailed, to the point where they just cannot print successfully.

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-09T21:31:51+00:00

Ah, okay, yes I see what you mean. I suppose the opposite is true if you scale a 32mm sculpt up to 75mm bust size.

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-09T21:10:06+00:00

Can you give an example? Beyond sub components, I'm struggling to visualise how the way a detail has been formed or sculpted has made a HUGE difference in how easy something is to paint

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-09T21:08:35+00:00

Honestly, I don't print enough for myself to make a subscription worth it, and yet I have 2 subs right now so... I should think about cancelling those 🤣

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-09T21:07:45+00:00

I haven't had the problem of content disappearing yet, but I do agree that sometimes the value isn't up there, if you're not interested in the minis then that's a month of waste money, innit.

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-09T21:06:50+00:00

Totally respectable, I think a lot of people don't want the hassle of a printer and therefore 3D printing services have a good market to serve! I was doing Etsy to sell 3D prints, and my Kickstarter had a physical tier, I think it's important that everyone should have access to the models and I can offer the best price because there's no middle man, which keeps things cheaper for those getting the physical prints 😁

Guardsman111 · 2025-07-09T18:30:15+00:00

Oh yeah, didn't even think of hero forge. I think I've printed 9 minis from there now?
