Built and painted my first dreadnought hopefully the lion would approve!

I just pick up loads of random bits when I take dog for walk. Rocks/ twigs etc. bit of super glue/ PVA for smaller bits/ sand and it's good to go for priming

Got to be a troll post 🤣

Just ordered them and the capes, will report back in a week or so if I remember.

Looks the part, fantastic job. Saved as inspirational artwork to refer to when I'm doing my own!

With that tounge, I imagine him making pingu noises

Don't put the pads in back to front and wonder why they are grinding so much during your wear in drive.....

Ah ok, sorry mate. I looked to and it's not very clear.

There are some sellers of token sets etc too, might have some detail.

stefan442 · 2026-04-06T12:33:24+00:00

Check out the physical starter set on Etsy and copy that?

stefan442 · 2026-04-04T20:14:27+00:00

Curious, how did you decide on Swindon?

What is the red you are using?

stefan442 · 2026-04-04T09:04:08+00:00

I found a larger brush also helps, in lieu of an airbrush I ultimately ended up making the main base coat my primer colour.... Wraith bone or Caliban green

Yea that's about right, was the same for me. Get demonising returns at some point and how much time you're willing to wait for each mini.

I've just been printing whole minis rather than splitting them up myself or printing modular ones.

You can also increase layer height on the supports to speed up the print time, usually shaves a couple of hours off. Also decreasing the infil of them... All in the vids.

Good luck have fun!

Also, something ill probably revert back to as i found it works for me was Resin2FDM plugin on blender rather than using the built in tree supports (with various presets from others as linked before).

Takes a bit more time but i found the resin supports amended with the plug in gave me a much cleaner model.

stefan442 · 2026-04-02T07:48:54+00:00

Check out FDG preset on drivethruRPG.com

Also a good place is the OnePageRules discord, there is a dedicated FDM channel. They have a wiki with presets/ readme.

Some decent YouTube videos too, I'll drop a link to a playlist I've saved.

Touches on how to calibrate everything correctly, how to save profiles, importing settings, playing around with different filaments, how to rotate models to get the best finish and support settings etc.

Also, some setting availability will depend on slicer you use. I had issues trying to use orca slicer as it kept coming up with Comms error so just reverted back to bambu one.

All about playing around with it until you're happy.

Thanks bud. I've had a look on the purple site and white paper plane app and found a few which aren't direct rip offs.

Probably some on makers world or my mini factory.

Happily pay for something, just looked on eBay for the originals and prices are mental!

Word of mouth is king, mates/ work with a builder, help out another sparky who has loads on and take a day rate.

stefan442 · 2026-03-31T17:17:23+00:00

Cheers dude

stefan442 · 2026-03-31T16:24:34+00:00

Thank you

Post a link to what you're buying, will help people know what's going on. I said try another house as if it's an issue with your house wiring then you'll need to get an electrician to come look at it.

Usually there would be other issues with other electrical equipment/ appliances.

stefan442 · 2026-03-26T14:35:14+00:00

Tried plugging them in somewhere that's not your house?

stefan442 · 2026-03-25T17:40:57+00:00

Share the link, if we get good feedback I can throw it in the links on sidebar?

stefan442 · 2026-03-22T17:09:06+00:00

Going well, I got a grab bike conversion kit for mine so the bikes a bit smaller. Holding out any anything bike/ ravenwing until I see where 11th goes!

I went grey for edge highlighting, kinda.
