This was supposed to be a quick little side project to give me an excuse to print something on my Elegoo Saturn 3D printer, but like most of my projects, dragged on and got more complicated. I decided to try to recreate the metallic effects and overall weathering as close to what we see on screen as possible, and late in the piece, I decided it needed a base for stability purposes. The lettering on the base was cut with my Silhouette Portrait and applied over a white base, and SMS Jet Black applied over the top. Took me 3 goes to get this right! So what was supposed to take a few days has ended up taking a few months, but here it is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking! Now I need to get back to one of my many unfinished aircraft projects!

Not even remotely my kind of thing Kev, but I can most certainly recognise and applaud the work, the techniques and the skill that has gone into creating it….well done my friend! 👋

Thanks, Max. I had a lot of fun with this one, and the combination of 3D printing and custom paint masks takes the modeller one step closer to being fully self-sufficient.
