Newest 3D stuff. Resin and PLA+

[jknaus]

I managed to get into the basement today and started the print job for Uhura which is a new figure from VX Labs I also have the base printing on the Neptune 3 Pro in black PLA +. I really like the PLA + as id prints like PLA which is really easy yet has the strength of PETG without the stringing and adhesion issues. I got more parts of the chop saw in also and can start building it now. Here is what Uhura is supposed to look like. If you go to the site to see which figures they have be aware there is NSFW figures also. I have the coat printed for The Ghost in the shell and just need to prime and then paint it ans she will be almost complete.

I also have more parts sliced for my Dragon, Fafnir in 75mm. I need to seal the seams on the base and print about 4 or 5 more plates of resin and then I can assemble it and start painting. Fafnior looks like this.

Found a conversion for a Sherman Crab which I printed out. I just need to find a good Sherman kit for it. From what I have found so far the British Mk III or V should do and Atsuka makes a good kit. Need to find out exactly how it all attached also.

I also found some files for German stretchers, set up, folded and without cloth so you can make your own. Printed some out and also some Sherman light guards I found. I also found a fantastic update to correct the Takom Tank Mk I and also grousers and attachments for the unditching beams. So been busy printing lately.

That's always an interesting tank to see, so much going on.

@jknaus, Crabs and medics and stuff... for a moment I thought you said too much personal information! Then I realized my mind is in the gutter...

 

[jknaus]

tut tut Saul LOL.

Wow that’s some awesome stuff!

I have a project that could use some German stretchers, maybe 4-6 folded and 1 or 2 open if you ever plan to print some for sale, I’d definitely buy some off you.

Uhura should never be NSFW…that’s just wrong
although that’s just my prude opinion

I hear you. Some stuff is okay and some just isnt. I usually buy all the versions from VX Labs as its not too expensive and the guy is a fantastic digital sculpter and so i like to support him. Doesnt mean I'll waste the resin printing though.

I got some German POL supplies and some boots from the States, Russia, Germany etc for ground work this week. I also met a nice fellow on FB who sold me the files for his wicker seats. Just waiting on the mid and tall seats but got the short seats printed. OMG these are amazing. Also a picture of some latches. I can see no way possible that I can use them as even magnified I cant see them. Excited to paint these seats and still agog at the detail. Oh and also found a file for a T-72/T-90 early exhaust.

Love them boots! I still have some Calibre 35 sets which cam in both hard and soft resin in the same package... My packaging now:

Those look real good James!

@Sharkmouth Saúl, have you ever used the soft stamps and an ink pad to put footprints on a page?

@Sharkmouth Saúl, have you ever used the soft stamps and an ink pad to put footprints on a page?

The idea was to use the soft stamps to put 'mud' on the vehicles. I also used them, moistened with thinner, to remove dust from vehicles.

Those wicker chairs are amazing!

 

[Brokeneagle]

Love the chairs......and Saul, I have those boots as well and use them all the time. Love 'em.

3D printing is revolutionizing the hobby. Can't wait to get my own printer!

Thanks for sharing James

I finished printing some resin 3D last weekend and have printed some PLA+ stuff and i guess today is the time to share. In PLA+ I printed a nifty alligator clip holder. Lots of designs on it and need to drybrush probably to see exactly what is on it. Shown with one lonely alligator clip. Also I did a couple of Micro Sol and Set sets. as well as a sprue holder. I ended up running out of black and as luck would have it I had just woken up and could change the reel quickly with the first thing at hand which was yellow. I must say though it looks pretty cool so I'm not complaining. Then in the resin I made a bunch more switches etc which you have all seen before. I also found a throttle assembly for the 1/32 ICM I-16 and printed a couple out. I also came across a 1/32 RAF accumulator cart and printed a couple of them. Got one just sitting together yet unglued to see how it will look. And finally I saw a fellow on FB who made some 1/48 B-25 cowlings for the B, H, and J and got the files from him. I scaled mine up 150% for 1/32. Just need to find my Strafer B-25 and I have new cowls for it. The trailing edges are nice and thin and the pipes are seen inside. All files are found online, some free and some not.

Oops seems a 1/32 Whirlwind snuck into the pics.

Grumpy old modelers, I think I need to grab that website name!

Nice job James, I really like that sprue holder.
