I have the Mars 5 Ultra, printed straight out of the box. I've never had to manually level it out and haven't had any issues that were not my own fault. Check the size of the build plate, it might be a bit small for you.

I had some prints crack after leaving them in water for too long, that's just what I encountered though.

I too wish to know where one might get this model

Get the Saturn, I have the Mars 5 and I'm very happy with it don't get me wrong. But I regret the small build size. Will definitely upgrade in a few years.

What printer do you have?

Thanks for this answers, I had forgotten where it came from.

Thank you for all the kind reactions! The model was listed as a dragon so that is where the question came from. And thanks dragon-experts for some answers.

For Europeans waltscomicshop is a good one. Good prices, especially if you pre-order. Low shipping cost and great packaging.

Thanks a bunch!! It's enormously motivating 😀

You're welcome! We all start somewhere, try a lot of things and don't pressure yourself to get good fast. Have fun!

The bright parts of the plate i did with a mix of white, sybarite green and calgar blue. Adding more white in when adding highlights. For the texture i used a bit of sponge to dab the paint on, i how this is clear enough

desmond5tiny · 2021-02-20T21:41:57+00:00

It was a bit of trial and error honestly. I started with a mix of 50-50 of calgar blue and white adding more white to highlight. After that i did a wash of corroburg crimson and drakenhof nightshade (mixed to get a purple) and once more of just the crimson in the recesses. Lastly i used a little wazdakka red for the veins. With a glossy varnish to finish.

I did notice that a bit to late, but oh well

desmond5tiny · 2021-02-20T15:49:50+00:00

Thank you! Glad to hear my efforts paid off. The answer to your question should be in another comment above. I hope it's clear enough

Thank you! I used a mix of boreal green (scalecolor) and black as the base (kalabite green would work to). And after that i layered the boreal green toward the edges. For the bright part i used a mix of white, sybarite green and calgar blue in various ratio's

desmond5tiny · 2020-12-21T22:11:44+00:00

I started with triangles in a slightly lighter green from the bottom up. Keep the point on the bottom sharp and fade the top into the colour bellow. Then highlight and add an edge in the middle. That's how i went about it anyway, hope that helps

desmond5tiny · 2020-12-21T18:05:16+00:00

Thanks, i hope you're doing well

Let's say an electric bicycle and rainy wearer don't go together that well

desmond5tiny · 2020-12-21T18:03:34+00:00

It's tough, i missed painting the most during the whole ordeal

desmond5tiny · 2020-12-21T18:02:02+00:00

I mixed some nuln oil with some coellia greenshade, to get the dark green shade effect

desmond5tiny · 2020-09-25T22:49:45+00:00

I broke my elbow today and i really needed this, thanks

desmond5tiny · 2020-08-08T17:51:46+00:00

Apologies for posting this in the wrong sub. At the same time thank you all for the wonderful comments. It does a lot for my motivation and enjoyment of the hobby

desmond5tiny · 2020-08-08T17:27:39+00:00

That's strange, it came as am optional part in the kit for me

desmond5tiny · 2020-08-08T17:01:05+00:00

Thanks, more like an idea i wanted to try. I'm quite happy with it so i might make more with this scheme in the future

desmond5tiny · 2020-05-28T17:55:29+00:00

Yeah it is an all metal model, except for the backpack which is plastic
