As I mentioned in last week's Jessie's Prints one of my first successful prints on the new Resin 3D Printer was the insanely detailed Sci-Fi Adventurer from Loot Studios.
Over the Jubilee Bank Holiday Weekend, I painted him.
This is most definitely not my finest hour. I became incredibly frustrated with this model which decided to snap at both the ankles and the ipad hand multiple times.
I am not sure if this was an error in the printing or curing process, the brittleness of the resin or the robustness of the sculpt, but if a mini cannot stand up to the rough and tumble of painting then it does not bode well for gameplay.
There is a distinct difference between digital sculpts and hand sculpts. Personally I prefer the chunky aesthetic of hand sculpts over the extreme detail and "spikiness" of these newfangled digital sculpts. There is a certain charm of a vintage oldhammer mini over the new plastic kit warhammer minis never mind the scale creep that has occurred over the years.
As you can see I am still getting to grips with Army Painter Speed Paints and I ran out of white primer so the zenithal highlight was a bit muted. The next one will be better I promise...
