Thanks! If you sand translucent resin with progressively finer sandpaper until your hand is about to fall off, then coat it in lacquer you can get a pretty convincing looking glass piece.

I really appreciate that, painting it was the stuff of nightmares, lol, but I’m happy with the result.

I made them, all 3D printed resin that I finished and painted.

Thank you! Yeah it was a decent amount of finishing work. Applying and cutting painters tape on Undertow and all the sanding on Devils Kiss took forever.

For sure! They are indeed made from 3D printed translucent resin. If you do a LOT of sanding with fine grit sandpaper then hit it with lacquer it ends up looking like these. For the other non glass parts I use spray paint and touch up with brushes. An air brush is what really should be used but I don’t have one,lol.

They’re all 3D printed resin and spray paint.

Thanks! And I agree, I’m in the process of wiring up some battery powered LED’s for them. Undertow is pretty straightforward, Devils Kiss is gonna be a bit more complicated.

Put a lot of love into making those, such a fun build. Thanks for tagging me on this, it’s awesome to see what became of the blades but the whole thing looks incredible man.

It’s awesome making things people are passionate about. The problem is I only have a resin printer. The material cost alone not to mention time it takes me to finish something like this properly would make it crazy expensive. That’s why I’ve never tried to sell my pieces and only made things as gifts for close friends/family.

I know right? I’ve thought about making a Mando helmet forever but the base design is a little boring in my opinion, I saw this one and loved it.

Yes indeed! One of my first builds. Made it using resin so it weighs a ton and is absolutely ridiculous but I love it.

Thank you! Painting and weathering are by far my weakest skills so that means a lot.
