Tonight I oil washed my Intercessor Squad.

Tonight I discovered just how much pressure is too much pressure with a cotton bud when cleaning an oil wash off.

Tonight, I had to touch up two marines and re-wash them (but fortunately you can't really see the fix).

It's all a learning experience. 😂

(It seems you CAN take off two layers of varnish, several layers of acrylic, and the primer, with white spirit and a cotton bud. Without trying.)

WOW! IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!

The $11 filament just printed the best test I've done for a mini. It's "3dhojor" which i thought I had problems with in the past. Maybe its the Centauri Carbon, but it surprised the heck out of me.

I'll kick off a print of one of MZ4250's wyrmlings, but will try to get some pics up of at least the skeleton tomorrow.

I swear I tried making it just big enough to fit on the base, but then it turned out I made the wheels a few mm too wide. The only solution was to go even bigger! The water effects are still drying on the photo, that's why it's cloudy, but it is done!

Making good progress on my 10mm Starship Troopers project for this upcoming #MillenniumCon here in central Texas this November. I wanted a high contrast with the reddish brown desert, and against the ochre, mint, and plum of the Arachnid forces I painted earlier this year.
