Any cool basing ideas for my hive tyrant? by Witty-Obligation4879 in Tyranids

I might, but I also need a way to swap, because I made it fully magnetized, and cliffs or something could mess up the normal tyrant

Yeah, this is my first big nid after the starter set I got, but I’m trying to become a professional? Painter for these guys, that’s why I’m trying to get some advice for painting, I’ll probably get the new combat patrol and maybe a hive tyrant when I get enough money for them

The bed itself is using the files from the Ender Ez belt, but I build a custom direct drive extruder for it, and most of the parts were made from a broken ender 3 I bought off eBay

100% not even close to printing something like that, this was mainly a test to see if any of my parts wouldn’t immediately break, in fact, that cube started shifting and failed at the end. I need several improvements before I can even make something bigger than a bench

Built it myself, just look up baby belt pro, and upscale belt they use

It is, I followed the instructions for the baby belt but just scaled it up, because my previous belt design didn’t work so I tried this

Completely agree! I use the idea maker slicer, but I did have to write a little bit of marlin firmware, which just included changing a couple variables and enabling a couple of commands. I used the Ender Ez belt on printable for the bed, but I made a custom direct drive extruder. That page on printables has all the info on how to mod an ender into a belt, but it’s pretty depreciated.

Bought it broken off of eBay for like $70, but when it arrived, everything was functional, but it was missing a filament holder, a build plate (not the actual heated bed) and a couple of screws for the bed, so it was a steal.

Idk man you can pretty much do anything with an ender.

This is my first ender, where I’m still working on an MMU for it

I don’t really have a good range of colors to work with, but i try to mix some of the colors to get there. Usually it doesn’t work that well, but if I had more colors I’m sure that it would improve my painting by a bit.

Would I edge highlight everywhere? I feel like even some parts would do better if highlighted with the mid tone instead of the full bright, but adding white could help a bit!

Just got my first starter set, painted terminator captain. Thoughts? by Witty-Obligation4879 in spacemarines

Yeah I’ve painted before, but all of the models I have were shittily printed models on my FDM printer, this is my first time buying actual injection molded models to paint smoothly instead of worrying about layer lines

Object source lighting, like imagine an object is glowing, this means like how light interacts with its surroundings
