Now I'm Printing with Resin!

 A couple of months ago I got a new resin 3-D printer. I decided to go with a resin printer because their better suited for small miniatures. 



My Anycubic printer with the wash station next to it, well worth the money. 

After a few small projects I went ahead printed my first full unit. Some Russians to take on Christian's French.


These STLs were by Earsling on Thingiverse. They're a little simplistic but the STLs were the right price free. The image above was actually from the first print run, which was unsuccessful. There were too many supports and they were two thick. I broke the miniatures while trying to remove the supports. The second batch below was much better. 

The Troops fresh off the printer.

From this angle you can see the lighter supports.

The troops with the supports removed and cured. Just have to do a little fine trimming and they'll be ready for paint. 


My first Regiment. Just need 3 or 4 others, some cavalry, artillery, and Generals and I'll be coming for ya Christian.

IJN TIMA Part 4

 I'm back everyone. Had a little sign in trouble with the Blog post. But now, I've got it working again. If some of you remember a couple of years back I started on this model.


I made some good progress on it but then other projects started taking priority and I never got back to it. Well in the past few weeks I decided to go ahead and finish it. Here she is almost done. 



Now I just have to do some touch-ups and maybe some weathering and a diorama base. On the wargaming front, I've got some new mini's on the way and some surprises. I hoping to do some Megablitz soon, as well as tryout some new rules this summer.
