Nice Is it a resin print or filament?
I Wouldn’t mind getting a resin printer for making my own warhammer style figures and bootleg starwars figures.

Filament. Bambu P1S. Printed it on an angle to avoid layer lines looking too obvious.
Would love a resin printer, but it does seem more involved and I don’t really have the space for it either.

Building robots while I nurse my aching ballbag following yesterday’s vasectomy. I have two different add on sets for this, and some metal detail parts, and a colour scheme to plan and paint. Haven’t really been deep into a gunpla project for a while and enjoying it enormously.

Would have presumed that was a GW knock off without looking at the back!

First game of combat patrol against my son.
I played Sisters he played T’au and won on points.
I wiped out two of his units with my arcos and battle sisters. He killed my celestians before they got close.
Despite multiple goes I could not kill his commander who was protected by a pesky -1 to hit strategem.
Not sure we got everything right (can battle sisters sticky a home objective and just claim 5 points each round?) but good fun nonetheless.

Painting up my son’s new tyranid combat patrol for a game with his mate next weekend.
Had an idea for a metallic shell with purple hue. Turned out a bit pink champagne. Son not stoked.
🫣😅🤣

I think that looks good because it has an organic/biomechanical look to it. Sort of like a carapace of a beetle or a crustacean shell. If I was spending all day at school avoiding doing anything that might have people shouting “gay!” and throwing pencils at me I might agree with him!

Had to go darker than pink champagne for xenos that don’t have “weak spots such as eyes”

Ha, it had crossed my mind… probably going to experiment with trying to make a mould to do resin versions
Being sued by your favourite skater is a badge of honour right?

Presumably it wouldn’t be that hard to duplicate a gonz drawing/painting either?

The original of this was a toy that was sold in 2006 by some designer toy company.
Came in a few colours. Yellow, glow in the dark and camo.
Next goal is to bootleg one of those priest statues.
