Was warned that the Marvel Crisis Protocol starter box models were fiddly. Thought I was going along fine until I hit miss marvel and one of her fiddly little upper arms flew the coop. Replaced it with a little piece of sprue. Guess I paint it white and pretend it's a random piece of armor/splint, since it doesn't have the texture of the rest of the outfit?

This is where you trim it down, cover it in green stuff, then carve it a little to give some texture. Then do a less than perfect paint job so it blends in to the rest of the outfit.

I got a model commissioned from Khalan Khalan and everything was handled professionally. Communication was great, pricing was good, model was painted exactly to specifications. Can't recommend him enough.

Kind of disappointed your package didn’t come back with pics of Shelly’s tits or achymos butthole honestly. Not sure if I’ll recommend him again if he’s just giving standard professional services.

Yndrasta is all but done. I've got to varnish the last few I've painted still.

Those are dope. I feel like I'm going from newb, to decent painter. Next is fairly good, and then eventually I'll be able to do stuff like that. Grimdark, outside the box, conversions with a cool and unique aesthetic

Knees too sharp, would not bang. 2/10

But that chaos looking thing looks waaaay out of place. IMHO

You can’t go wrong with either, the prints from both are identical, just the Saturns build plate size would be nice. Some of the larger things I’ve printed I have to do at an angle instead of flat. Still come out nice, just takes a lot longer due to more layers.

Was looking around today to spend my Xmas money and saw elegoo mars 3 was released recently. 4k and bigger size etc.

What would you say is a must accessory to get if decide to order one. You mentioned a better build plate earlier for one.

Also what kind of resin is best? Standard, strong? Water based or not?

Elegoo wash and cure station worth getting?

A wham bam magnetic plate for the build plate. There are other brands too, I have wham bam and know it’s good so I’m recommending that. Don’t even do a print without one.

Get water washable photopolymer. Elegoo sells it under their brand, works great.

I don’t think the washing stashing is needed, it’s just a bucket. You can just rinse prints with water in the sink. Wash the resin into a bowl, cure the washed resin in the sun.

The UV curing station is great cause it cures prints evenly and in minutes but it’s not necessary. The sun does the same thing, but weather, cloudy days, etc. results can vary. I have the elegoo mercury curing station and it’s nice.

Thanks! Will see what plates they have. Seems it's updated on the new model though but not sure what quality it is.

I've added this so far inte the cart. Might change the mercury to one for half price that is just for curing.

(Remove a zero for freedom bucks)

Yeah there are a lot of plates, you just have to match your mag plate size to your build plate size.
