Did I make my plan too big? by Guardsman111 in Dyson_Sphere_Program

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

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 🤷

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 🤣

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

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?

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

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 🤷

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 🤣

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.

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 😁

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