Help finding mini alternative?

I'm running Shadow of the Dragon Queen and planning to print some minis for the Istarian drones. I'd prefer to fdm print them so I don't have deal with resin right now.

I'm looking for any kind of mini that would make a good stand in for the Istarian drones. This is the offical artwork.

Now I've found one set on printables that someone made but I don't care for how spindly they are. If I scale them to the right size, the legs are tiny and will be super fragile in fdm, and again I don't want to bother with resin right now.

I'm not attached to the exact look of the official art anyway, so I'd love to see any suggestions folks have for alternatives. I'm having trouble finding anything that appeals to me but I'm mainly poking around MMF and cults.

Underneath a food truck

Just a single egg on the bricks underneath the food truck, spotted it when the mom moved away. This is a busy downtown plaza next to a light rail station.

I needed to print a model with areas of pastel pink. I had a tiny amount of a nice silk pla in pastel pink but I was worried it wouldn't be enough.

Thought about how patterns are set up in FullSpectrum, so I knew I could mix up some red and white, but it would take some tests to get the right look, plus the lines would show on some surfaces. But then I had an idea.

So I set up a pattern with layers of silk pink + white. More white was fine for my needs, it just made it a softer pastel pink. And the amount of pink needed for the whole print dropped by a few grams per object thanks to the addition of the white. Win-win.

Just wanted to share. I know we're all talking about prints with lots of amazing colors so this is kinda basic, but I thought it was a neat thing that FullSpec let me stretch out the small amount of pink filament I have in a way I couldn't have before.
