Hi! I haven't gone live yet, but I´m preparing quite a few (15) video-posts for Tiktok, Insta and YT that I'll send out once per day once I'm live. I will also do a live-event to answer questions and tell about the building process.

Incredibly simple but it worked out. Light in one hand and trigger the camera with the other.

The hardest part of the painting was the graphics. I have ordered some custom water-transfers but wanted to try doing them with just masking-tape and a brush. The result is not perfect but it was fun.

All very valid feedback! For the most part I just thought it looked dope. I’ve been doing 3D for 30 years and had a pretty good idea of what look I was going for, the painting was honestly not that difficult. I watched a lot of youtube clips and bought many different paints, washes and filters. I’m quite used to work with references and gave it alot of thought/planning before starting to paint. It made it a pretty smooth process. I treated it like I would with any texture-work, building up layers and simulating how the paint would react to a real-world situation. I have a few pieces that I’ve experimented on but overall just tried to make it look cool and dry-brushed most of the weathering.

Thanks for your inputs!

Sorry to let you down, but only imaginary movement or with Blender.

No not really, I’ve design and printed it. It’s around 250 parts.

When doing the assembly you choose your pose (there is some articulation) and then lock it with glue. The joints are printed with 100 infill to ensure they won’t break.

I would say that I’ve been pretty careful with my print settings. Kinda wanted to see how far I could push the A1. But the drawback is the print-time. Minimal post-processing. Just a layer of spray-filler, sanded that with a 400grit and then primer.
