First time trying to paint a thoroughly weathered/rusty piece, and also first time trying to paint 3D printed terrain.
Printed with a 0.2mm layer height, it was surprisingly annoying to paint compared to regular cast HIPS pieces. Washes are completely useless, or at least behave very differently, due to capillary effect of the layer lines.
I think I went a little too heavy with the rust orange color so it lost some definition. It looks a little more defined IRL than the photo shows.
11 unique racers with most of my personal favorites. I had debated gaslandsing them up a little, but the plan was Mario Kart as a demo game for local stores and cons. So I figured the less chopping and painting and glueing I do the longer it will last. Although I am considering changing the wheels out for a more rugged look(and glued I to place so they don't roll everywhere). You can also swap drivers with a security screw!
The good part of recreating a popular video game is there are plenty of assets to print. Waiting is the hardest part. Then painting. That's the order, waiting is the hardest part and painting comes in second.
Admittedly, wound up with more of a "plague" troll type scheme, but, overall, I'm very happy with how this turned out. Last item in the to-do list is some light corrective work around her hair and feet and then I'm calling it. I wanted to make a creature with some ick factor, and I think this works!
Had a little craft night with my local crew, and I decided to dive into my newest track terrain. I've got Bob-ombs and goombas aplenty. I've got chain chomps and brick blocks galore but who cares no big deal I want more!
So many little bits to paint, but I started with the biggest pieces for a sense of direction.

RIP to a legend who helped define the look of 40k.
I wanted to try something a bit different and built myself a Turnip28 regiment - a game I'll surely never be able to play. I'm still planning to do some of the special cult models, just because they sound fun to build. Up to now, they are all standard units. The Lump in the back is scratch-built from some cheap modeling clay I usually use for bases, the rest is mostly kitbashed.
Picked him up earlier this week, assembled and painted today (thanks rainy day).
