Form 4 - MSLA Overmolding mold for Silicone and PLA!

(Sorry about the dog bark!)

Hey folks,

Though I’d share this super quick overmold prototype I made for a project.

Zero cure inhibition on the silicone and virtually no leaks printed on a form4! (0.2mm clearance tolerance and inset M3 bolts and nuts)

First Salamander ever!

Forge Brothers,

This dude is my fourth ever painted model and my first Salamander ever! I’m really happy so far with most of the colors. I do want to deepen the green a bit.

Would love some feedback!

Next I want to try OSL for the first time on his lava base.

And then decals and varnish!

Painted my first mini ever!

Hey folks,

Started collecting votann to play 40K with my son a while back. Built most of my army and started to paint now. This is my first mini ever and I’ve watched a ton of tutorials to even attempt this.

Would love some feedback and tips to make the next 100 kin even better.

My son and I just started building his Tau Army so I made him a new dice tray!

Hey there,

My son really wanted to start a Tau army so I got him a Combat patrol and a box of crisis battle suits to start with.

I’m building my own first army so I hope that’s a good starting point for him….

That said, I designed him this tray in Fusion and printed it out. Fairly proud of it honestly!

Thought you might find it neat!

First attempt ad priming a model and my first time with an airbrush. Would love some feedback!

Hey there,

This is my first time ever using an airbrush and my first time ever priming a model for paint.

I still need to dry brush the edge highlights. But before I start painting any recommendations/ feedback?

Painting my first 40K army and decided to make a dice tray to match my favorite dudes!

Hello Kin,

Just started with 40K and have always loved dwarves. So I designed this tray really quick in Fusion for the occasion!

The ancestors are always watching.

Hey folks,

I wanted to share a bit of a message of encouragement to those of you out there working on new masters.

You got this, everything you are doing will be worth it. There is no rush and your efforts will blossom into something you can truly be proud of in the end.

Making masters can be a ton of work. It can be mentally taxing and physically demanding. Wrinkly shaking hands are just part of the deal.

But, the light at the end of the tunnel is beautiful. And that feeling when it all comes together is so reliving, it’s only dwarfed by the feeling of adventure that comes after. All of the dice you will make in that masters image.

For those of you struggling, don’t give up. It’s taken me years of practice and refinement to get to this point, and all I can say is that the adventure may be difficult at times but like climbing a tall mountain. It’s worth it for the view.

I believe in all of you. You got this.
