What I like most about these figures were the 3D printed, aftermarket parts the client sent along with the standard kits. The assembly was straightforward; all the 3D parts fitted and showed no warping. There was a minor issue with a couple of missing parts. However, the client just sent us the files, and we printed them out on this end.
We were extrapolating the scheme from a reference image. However, we felt it needed a bit more green to balance out the red. We went over it with the client and he agreed. We used the energy and weapon glow as an excuse to shoehorn it in, and that was that.
The rest was straightforward. We weathered the metal bits, and hit up the legs and lower portions with some Vallejo weathering pigment. Done!
It’s nice to see the rise of 3D-printed conversion kits and aftermarket parts. They are an easy way to make any army distinctive. As Nvidia’s text-to-3d asset tech gets closer to market we’ll see even more of this.
Who would have thought, even a year ago, that we might soon be writing text prompts that produce 3D files for complete miniatures?
