Painting HUGE 3D Printed Star Wars Vehicles

We got to do some quite large minis designed by Darkfire Designs. The figures were amazing; the AT-TE had a paintable interior so large, you could run an encounter inside it.

There were some issues with the prints though, which came from a third party printer. Many were unusable; dripping, uncured resin, poorly cured parts, and very warped pieces. The client helped us out here, buying and sending us the 3d files so we could reprint whatever we needed to.

The reprinting ended up being a lot harder than we expected. We got there eventually, but it was quite tough. We won’t be doing large prints again till we can figure out how to avoid large parts warping.

Paintedfigs is a commission miniature painting service. You can send us your figurines to paint, and we also have painted miniatures for sale. We paint mainly Games Workshop (Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Age of Sigmar, Necromunda, Space Hulk, Bloodbowl, and so on), Star Wars, Warmachine and Hordes, and pretty much every Kickstarter and board game under the sun.

And we do so at the lowest rates on Earth (we’ve checked).

Alien Jungle Basing with 3D Printed Plants

You've seen our Star Wars Legion painting before. What you haven't seen, however, is our use of 3D printed plants to give bases a bit more pop!

We have a merchant's license to buy, print, and paint plants and doodads made by “Fantastic Plants and Rocks” on Myminifactory. Here are some examples of their work:

These are meant to be printed out (fairly) large. However, we wondered how small could we make them? Kashan and Manul did some tests, and found many of the designs could shrink down just fine.

You can see how we used these printed plants here, on this Star Wars Legion order. The client wanted us to give the figures an alien forest/jungle look. Toward this we applied a few unearthly-looking plants. We painted some purple to offset the use of green, and to draw attention to their alien nature.

We’re also quite pleased with how this came out in execution. We are adding 3D-printed plants to our bag of tricks for doing advanced basing!

Some Star Wars Legion Miniature Painting Service

We did a couple of Star Wars Legion orders recently. Here are some highlights taken from both orders.

We've been doing Star Wars Legion infantry for ages. However, what stood out for me about these two were the vehicles. The Wookiee Fluttercraft in particular is an interesting and tricky piece. Enjoy!

Star Wars Legion: Painting Trade Federation B-1 Droids and Droidekas

Just finished painting some Star Wars Legion Trade Federation minis. While I can’t say I enjoyed the prequels, I have a better appreciation for the design work that went into designing the B-1 Battle Droids and the Droidekas, now that we’ve looked at them more closely. The B-1 sculpts are campy-looking, but they’re clever. I actually find them more impressive than the transforming Droidekas because that’s a tough brief to work with.

We also did a Dooku and a Grevious.

These were painted to Showcase, and the two characters at Exhibition.
