Been using my FDM printer a bit more and trying to decide if I want to take the jump and get a resin printer.

So I've been trying to find some thing I can print and paint on my FDM printer that don't look terrible just to see if I'll like it.

First semi-done project:



I should have pre-shaded the head to give it some contrast.. also just have cheap Amazon airbrush paints and the white is too white, maybe should have tried to mix something less WHITE. Could have also gone deeper contrast on the cloak.. a bit of an oops painting the eye.

But as a "is this something I could spend time doing" test it was a success so far, first time using an airbrush on this project and it's very neat. I may try and building some model kits and use it too.

Have a few more prints to try and paint but if they go well I might be looking for a resin printer so I can make nicer prints to paint.
