Paint schemes
So was chatting with my brothers girlfriend last night – love her to bits – the little sister I never had. She’s also the singer and guitar player in the band. And I shared my idea for his birthday present with her – no going back now! ? She thought it was awesome and the mini looked great but had some very clear instructions …
and she’s right – it’s a bit of a signature scheme blue shirt – generally with those intricate patterns. So on a scale model – that’s the detail I need to focus on. If I can nail that it will sell the mini as him.
Even if that means bringing back PTSD of doing pea-dot cammo!!
Printing Done
Got the mini printed up overnight – did a couple of copies to test colour schemes. Pretty happy with how it came out.
HeroForge
So in all honestly I’ve been thinking about this project for a long time and trying to get something that feels just right. But at the end of the day it’s nothing if doesn’t happen so after a long *long* time of tweaking and changing I eventually settled on a Heroforge pose that I was fairly happy with and hit the ‘Buy STL button’
Will let you know how it comes out!
Give Me Your Hand
So it’s my baby brother’s birthday at the end of March and I was thinking what can I get him? He’s a pretty successful musician currently touring the world and bringing Irish music to the natives and anyone else who can pay!
So what can I get him? A new set of pipes is about 20 grand with a 10 year wait list … so no. Maybe, just maybe a 3D model of himself designed, printed and painted by myself – that might be *ok* question mark.
So like any good project we start with the source material – so I looked up some videos of my brother while he’s performing (that’s him in the middle on whistle and pipes) …
