It gives me an excuse to use some of my Woodland Scenics basing materials to hide some of the areas where the fit isn’t as good as I’d like. The basing materials are also on my “use it or lose it” list, so I’d be getting another item off my list. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf the Stout Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Second Hirst Arts bridge is built. This one is a Traveller’s Bridge. Just the Warlock Tower to build and then it’s painting time for all 3. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitterwolf Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) I love how that looks. There is a thread for terrain and such also, maybe post it there as well? https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/forum/67-works-in-progress-sculpts-conversion-terrain/ Edited February 4 by Glitterwolf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf the Stout Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Cheers. I’m considering 3D printing some “tops” to put on the squares. Just need to have a look and see what I have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Would Reaper's fence post toppers fit, if you can't find anything? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to have a look as I can’t remember if I grabbed those as added extras or not. Definitely didn’t back the core set of Bones 4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the tall braziers for the lower suppprts? Free.is.always.good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll likely just print them all and see what looks best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf the Stout Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Printer is running again for the first time since early January Rise. Printing a few Blood Bowl minis for me and some friend, along with some braziers to sit on my Hirst Arts Bridge. I made sure to take the resin out, strain it, clean the tank and give the resin a good shake up before putting it back in. I learned from previous experience that the Tenacious resin is slightly heavier than the other resin and separates to the bottom if you leave the resin sitting unused for longer than a week and the print will fail if you don’t mix it up again. I think the pigments in the Fast Navy Grey also start to separate out. After that I’m going to swap out my wash station isopropyl for completely fresh stuff and try printing some clear resin prints. Take advantage of the fresh isopropyl to get the clearest prints possible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf the Stout Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 And a partial fail on the first build plate. The likely cause is not shaking up the resin enough or not cleaning the FEP well enough as the fails were on the first couple of layers and the rest printed fully with no issue. Printing a second build plate now, so hopefully that prints fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf the Stout Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Second build plate printed fine, so obviously there was residue or something still on the FEP from the resin sitting in there unused for 2 months. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf the Stout Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Now my problem is I have half an empty build plate (as half my prints failed on the first build plate) and can’t decide what to put on it. Damn analysis paralysis. It’s so stupid. I have literally thousands of STLs and no obvious ideas. Just wandering through my files on my PC trying to get some inspiration. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf the Stout Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Added some totally not LotR characters, a couple of Paizo-style goblins, a BB Skeleton, a Leo TMNT mini and a WoW-esque Gnome. Bit random, but it got the plate filled. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
