Egyptian Mythology Display - Spring Clean 2024

There were a number of reasons why I decided to do this project:

3D printing

I’ve had my Sparkmaker resin printer for a coupe of years and used it here and there but I really wanted to get into using it more. As it turns out it broke very early into the project so I had to replace it with an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro. This turned out to be a blessing as the new printer is far superior. For more details on my 3D printing I refer you to my project dedicated to the topic.

Produce a display

I’m very fortunate that my other half allows me to have two display cases in our living room where I can display my best models. However it has become a rather eclectic mix of models. What I would like to add is a dedicated display or diorama. We are low on floor space but we have plenty of bare walls I could place a display on. You might think I was inspired by Warzan’s shelf dungeon project, but to be honest I completely forgot about it. I in fact got the idea from a Youtuber I watch, Nerdforge, who produced a “shelforama”.

Experiment with gold leaf

There are a lot of models in this collection so I don’t want to get bogged down in painting them all in the traditional way. That many models could take me a year based on past similar projects.

The renders produced by Raging Heroes are very striking where most of the models could be bare resin but with certain colours picked out. This gave me the idea of using gold leaf on select areas of the models. I’ve never used gold leaf on anything before but I think its worth a try.

Put Mel the Terrain Tutor’s book to use

I bought and read Mel’s book but have yet to put any of it to use. The models will need to go on something (only if it turns out to be a fairly basic desert area) so when I get to it I’ll use the information in Mel’s book to up my game.
