The Final Push - Lawnor approaches 100% painted
58MTG: Start Collecting Daemons of Khorne
I’ve made solid progress on the Daemons I picked up with my OTT voucher. 14 models are done and I’ve done a lot of the groundwork for the final piece, the Skull Cannon.
10 Bloodletters, which takes me up to a max unit of 30 in total
3 Bloodcrushers, which takes me up to a max unit of 9 in total
Herald of KhorneWith only model left to paint I thought it was time to prep more ready to paint. I always like to have the next project ready to do before I finish the current one so there’s no lost downtime while I wait for glues or primer to dry and I don’t rush anything and botch something. As such I’ve built and primed a handful of models ready to go.
One of my 3D prints had a catastrophic failure. This is a bust of Avatar Korra I found on MMF. I upscaled her quite a bit and tried to hollow her out, but I think the channel between the voids got blocked and trapped some resin and perhaps some air. When I put her in some warm soapy water to clean her up ready to paint she cracked open everywhere, revealing some oddly set resin inside; kindy rubbery and kinda chalky at the same time. I thought I’d have a go at fixing her but the gunk must have expanded and it didn;t want to come out and it quickly became apparent that I’d end up with a billion gunky shards if I tried. As such I’m considering this a failed print.
Let this be a lesson to everyone: Ensure all your voids can drain, and if you think you have resin trapped after a print, drill a new hole to let it out before you UV cure the piece. Remember to wear goggles as who knows how it will react to a release in trapped pressure.
