I tried. I really did try to focus. I printed me a cron-o-john and a Doctor Fred and everything. But, because I’m paranoid about getting every little bit of “value” from a print run (those LCD screens only last between 200-400 hours and each print takes around four hours, whether you print one mini at a time or cram 8-10 on the build plate) I added some super heroes I found on Thingiverse just to fill the plate.
It was all going so well, until I thought “I’ll just splash some contrast green on the Hulk and see how he looks” and before I know it three hours have passed and I’ve painted another mini (though secretly, I’m rather pleased with how the eyes and teeth came out – they had the potential to end up *very* wrong!)
One of these days, I’ll get over my fear of basing, just as I did with eyes. Until then, boring black disks it is.
Tomorrow, I finish the diorama. Promise.
