Hi everyone, as you know I've been selling the 3d printed kits, I'm now working on one for Danzofett, finished one, thought i would post my progress

Ok so im printing at high res so we get a good print, I've finished the barrel and moving on to the body will post when starting

Ok we got a real nice print on the body pieces however it takes 3-6 hours per piece, then prepped and painted!

 

[DanzoFett]

Looking good dude....

 

[dansam]

cheers ma man

Whilst waiting for the prints -

I managed to get the barrel weathered using a pale burnt metal and a burnt iron chroma

 

[DanzoFett]

Your a natural dude..lol

 

[dansam]

lol love it

You're casting these parts? I thought at first you were using the lost wax technique. I am just starting to play with casting for the knives I make. Without telling any of your trade secrets, am I right or wrong? Looks good!

 

[dansam]

Im printing the pieces, cheers for the praise

 

[dansam]

Ok I'm working on the body now its been printed, glued and filled now on to paint

[Ebernath]

Ah, okay, that's pretty awesome.

Well just tried fitting some more in whilst doing other stuff, I have primed with filler primer, smoothed and now layer the first coat of gloss white which i use for the undercoat when chroming,

 

[dansam]

How did you weather it? The paint job looked awesome. What 3d printer is that? I'm starting to look into getting one, but there are so many, I don't know which ones are actually good.

Hi mate i use a UP! 3d printer, i find the smaller the build area the better the printer, i weathered the metal using different metalizers from alclad trying to achieve a scorched metal look
