Paint Table Saturday 10 December 2022

 


And...I'm back. I haven't had anything to post, apart from 3D prints. I still don't really, but thought that I ought to post something anyway.

At the moment I'm getting myself sorted for the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge which begins in just over a week. That has meant getting the various bits together for my main project. Then deciding that I need to reprint some of them. There are a couple of parts that I'm having a big problem with; hopefully I'll finally get them right this week.

I ordered some more primers and paints and they arrived a few days ago:


That should be enough to see me through the Type S Scout Courier.


3D Printing

I've carried on with printing Traveller cargo containers, in between printing other things.

Standard Containers:


Sealed Containers:


Controlled Environment Containers:


I've also printed some alternative partitions and bulkheads for the Type S Scout Courier with the doors fused in place - they should be easier for painting.


The Beowulf Kickstarter campaign I backed has released the ship files and also most of the stretch goals - not bad when you consider that it's less than a month since the end of the campaign. I've been printing some of the smaller items.


Grav Bike, Emergency Low Berths & Air Raft Van 




Rampart Light Fighter



I've shown it on the stand but I've also printed landing gear in case I decide to put it in a hangar diorama.


Well, that's all for now folks!

  1. That's a lot of printing done Tamsin, and good luck in the challenge.

  2. Some terrific prints there, Tamsin, which definitely show off the pros to a filament printer. I too am a big fan of the speed in which you get your rewards for backing STL kickstarters - plus there's no outrageous additional costs for postage suddenly thrown your way six months after the campaign's end, LOL!! Looking forward to seeing these painted up during the Challenge. :-)

    1. It's not always the case - a lot of kickstarters for STLs don't have all the files ready to go for the main items, let alone stretch goals. 2nd Dynasty aren't like that - they always have the main parts ready before the campaign starts; this time they also had the majority of the stretch goals ready for when the money cleared. :)

  3. I think the printing is getting better, those look crisp and neat. (I would be tempted to replace the stem under the Grav Bike with a transparent sprue tho') Good to see you posting again!

    1. Thanks! I went with a lower layer height (=higher quality/smoother surface) for these. :)

  4. Those containers and the Rampant fighter are lovely.

    1. Cheers! I'm hoping that they will do the twin-seat variant of the Rampart as well. :)
