As you can see, the Type S Scout ship is coming together nicely. I've started printing the upper fuselage parts, but realised that I didn't have enough filament left on the current spool to print the next set so opted to spend today printing a load of smaller bits that I'll need for later steps.
The main engineering section:
One of the Jump Drives broken down into parts:
I've also made some progress on the SdKfz 251s and Stug III:
Not as much as I'd like to have done as I've been feeling rather lethargic in the heat. It should be a little cooler for the next couple of days, so I should make good progress on them.
That is turning into a truly impressive ship Tamsin, can understand not getting a lot of painting done, as this heat really impedes it ! LOL
ReplyDeleteI think I'll need to reprint a few parts for it - I've had some corner-lifting issues on big pieces, resulting in gaps.
DeleteI was still lethargic yesterday, so didn't get any more painting done until today. :)
Cool...
ReplyDeleteIt most certainly is! :)
DeleteThose filament prints have come on a long way. The layers seem barely visible.
ReplyDeleteI suspect you're looking at the detail parts, which were printed at 0.12mm layer height. The black filament and its glossiness also help to obscure the visibility of the layer lines - you can see them more easily with the right light and angle. :)
DeleteI see, but nonetheless looks great. Can you sand down the layer lines these days?
DeleteYou can. Some materials are easier to sand than others. I'll be using a mix of sanding and filler primer on the fuselage parts. :)
DeleteI wish I had your amount of lethargy! I have only managed to undercoat 12 Huns on horses this month so far. Supposed to have the whole Hunnic army finished in another week. Not gonna happen.
ReplyDeleteThat was about 45 minutes of airbrushing over 2 days! :)
