Depends on the printer and the material used.
The 3D Dino I was talking about didn't need sanding, only sealer.
It is a high quality print well detailed, only thing is that it is hollow and therefore brittle.
Since I paint for display it suits me, but for wargaming it won't be sturdy enough.
Still, great quality.
Here is the Dino ( The riders are metal minis,)
That is a good looking Dino.

Different technologies for different applications. Folks who use FDM printers to produce miniatures are frequently left with sub-par results. Though there are rare exceptions to the rule when using very fine nozzle sizes, or specific printer settings to yield better results. Recent developments in the technology have lowered the barrier to entry to resin printers significantly, to the point where individual sculptors can afford an AnyCubic Photon/Maker Select/Wanhao to produce very acceptable prototypes. The biggest cons are the relatively small build chamber, mess and fumes, and significantly increased cost of materials when compared to FDM.
You are right about that. I always give a KS or a seller in general a look over.

There's no true Protoss equivalent, and the Zerg replacements are... I dunno. They're missing Hydralisks and Mutalisks. Y'know, the friendly "I so want one as a pet" cute ones.
Well said! Ya i would imagine the eldar are the closes to the Protoss. It would be really nice to have 28mm scale protoss figures.

Isn't there already a Star Craft table top game called Warhammer 40k? LOL.

I'm heard that sanding and general prep work, then put down a layer of semi-gloss sealant very much helps. I have not tired it but I will if/when I ever paint a 3D miniature again.
I have not been impressed by 3d printing, yet.

THANKS Iridil! The pipe was a last minute addition. I saw it on a WarHammer 40k figure and thought that would put it over the top! :) Glad you like it.

Thank you Cicciopiu. That is about 4 or five different shades of blue too. I really wanted to push the effect of his blue.

Ty Warlady, It's really the deepest blues that sell the effect.

Title: Usidore the Blue
The second figure done in honor of Hello From The Magic Tavern. This is Usidore the Blue. I was very pleased how he turned out. I got the red face of a wizard that drinks a lot of mead. Ha! As well as his staff that I sculpted in the rock based on the lore of the type of stone he has in it. Finally the bird is paint to be a sparrow - his favorite type of bird. The base is also sculpted.

I really like what you did here. It adds so much character to the piece. For me when I look at it, all I think is Links mirror shield. And that brings back very fond memories. :) Thank you for sharing.

Awesome! Great color choices. All of him looks great but I really I love how the details on the puffy sleeves really pop.
Thanks! I really had to mull over it for a while until I decided on a color I liked.

Exactly what I was going for. I usually do some in the not so bright range but I'm trying to break out of those comfort zones.

Thanks, honestly the hardest part to choose. I was originally going to go with green.

An awesome creation!
Thank you so much Glitter.
7 hours ago, NecroMancer said:Really love the gold NMM!
Appreciated. I used it on a piece I'm still working on and it worked well there so I tried it here. I use a neon orange and deep brown for the transitions. Although I feel it like the lightly patterns off a bit, but it doesnt look horrible. Progress not perfection, right? :)
7 hours ago, Iridil said:Beautiful and vibrant - such clean painting and freehand! I like that you chose a colorful look for him!
Thank you Iridil. The free hand took a few tries. I was going to go with scales but could not manage to freehand paint one that I liked so I did a diamond instead. He's a fancy fellow so diamond is more apt I think. :)

Title: The Merchant of Backwater
This piece was one of particular interest for me. I remember the first time I saw it I just had to paint it. It seemed so odd but had so much personality.
The very last picture: The last picture is of the bottom the base. I used this wood chip from a woodcrafters store. I'm fairly certain my grandfather - who lived in Tulsa OK until his death - went to this store all the time. He was Sales me by Trade and a craftsmen by... other trade. I thought it fitting to use this chip on the Half Orc Merchant.
Thank you all for the support. I have procrastinated photographing this for various reasons but he is finally done. Hope you enjoy.

Very cool scene! Awesome work!
Thank you Nerco! I was eyeballing the blank MDF base for like a week before I decided what to do. You can see some of the WIP on it on my IronBristleStudios webpage.

Great work on all aspects.
HAHAH, yeah Sith happens and they tend to get all mad about it. LOL. Thanks.

I agree with CitizenCane, do it! It's included in the dropship one which is a limited time offer bundle! Thingy!
... Of doom!
As much as I would love to I really can't afford it. :( And I don't have anyone to place with at the moment. My group will only play Battletech. I tried to get them to play CAV with the first KS. :(

Much storage, many envy.
Or.. I wish I had that much storage for stuff! I'll get there eventually though, as I'm seriously considering a few different options...
HobbyZone, Back2Base-ix,
Those are the two major ones I was looking at when I started the process.
SpoilerBefore I set up my whole desk space I was looking for Roll top desks. It was very difficult to find one I liked and when I did it was SUPER expensive. SO much so I had to scrap the idea completely.

I found a table and legs at ikea that is great for such builds. I am still using the table. The work space it provides is more than enough. I wanted enough room on my table to support my racks and have elbow room AND have room to lay stuff out and leave it... Trying to accommodate for the "crafting halo", when your working and your put stuff all around you. I found that the 61inch by 29.5 inch work table was more than enough for that. I would highly recommend it.
IKEA:
- GERTON - Tabletop, beech
- ADILS - Leg, black
Then I went with HobbyZone Crafting racks. This was the most expensive parts.
This is slightly older photo as I now have dual monitors up.

Reaper HD paint label fading

I'm betting it's not cost effective so I completely understand but I wish they were printed on something that didn't fade like that. No worries.
