Wow don’t they look good. Well done mate.

I painted them as well.

[Walkingthedog]

I can see that. Very accurate.

These are currently ‘cooking’ in the garage. It’s a ten hour print due to the size of the canoes but they should be ready for inspection late this evening.
Two sizes of sheep 34mm and 38mm and can you see the newts?

[Walkingthedog]

Newts are very good. Can’t wait to see Brian paint them.

[Steve M]

We’ve had an oooops moment.

[Walkingthedog]

We have?

[Steve M]

A mixed bag of results, the workman and barrels came out well.

Can’t say the same about the canoes.

And the headless sheep is best not mentioned at all. T’other one is ok though.

I suspect that the failures are down to the supports for the print weren’t up to scratch. It also may have something to do with the orientation of the model. I’ve (hopefully) corrected this and have a reprint running overnight.

Certainly is a steep learning curve.

Certainly is a steep learning curve.

Probably the same for everyone - the difference being that I am happy to share my setbacks in the hope it may help others.
