3d printed walls for Cursed City preview

 Here's a preview video of a project my brother has been working on... 3d printed walls and doors for Warhammer Quest, The Cursed City.  I've been printing some prototype parts over the past weeks (pictures after the jump), and he is using some of my painted models for his photos and videos. 

Finished Full size X-Men vs Sentinel Chibi diorama

Here's the full size version of the Diorama.  Lots of fun details, and a huge project.  I took longer because I played with the idea of adding internal lighting.

Most base colours were done with the airbrush, and details were done with layers using a mix of citadel and reaper paints.

Finished Xmen diorama at 50%

I finally finished up the last two figures on the X-men vs Sentinel diorama.  I joined the preorder in early march, and it was released around the start of our lockdown.  I started with a full size version, but once I had it all printed I decided I needed a 50% size one that I could actually display.  That's what this is.  Storm and Jean were a stretch bonus that I had to pay extra for.

Snake-Eyes

Here's a new addition to my showcase.  Its a 3d printed Snake-Eyes fan model.  I messaged the owner and he sent me the files, my brother cleaned them up a bit in zbrush, and printed them in resin.  Actually, he printed 2 copies, one for him, one for me.  I painted them both, and here's the one I kept.

Yeah, I'm still finishing up my Chibi X-men, but this guy was pretty simple so he jumped the queue.

Xmen diorama 50% scale almost done

So after getting started on the full size diorama I realized that I wouldn’t have anywhere to display it. As a result I also started a 50% scale version. It’s been much faster to paint and I’m almost done. Here’s what it looks like when I dry fit all the painted stuff.

X-men diorama at 50% scale

I decided that I needed to do a version of this at 50% because the full size one is too big to display.  At this size it'll fit nicely in my Ikea Detolf case.  So far everything is being done in PLA at super fine settings and is looking nicely, but the rest of the figures will be done in resin by my brother.  Chubi charactors are possible to do in FDM, but supporting and thin pieces are tricky, so resin is better for that.

Some updated progress shots

X-Men vs Sentinel cg rotation

Here's a look at what the diorama should look like when its done

X-Men diorama - Colossus WIP

Making some progress on the guys on my work bench.  Here's Colossus.  I airbrushed the silver (Vallejo Gunmetal + Vallejo Aluminum highlight) and brushed on the red and yellow.  I'll do some highlighting of the colors and add a GW gloss wash to the silver.  Maybe some other washes to add depth between colours, but overall a pretty simple paint scheme.

X-Men Diorama progress - Beast

Here's some progress on my X-men v Sentinel diorama.  I got my airbrush out last night and got the beast painted up.  I did some brush work on his fur to bring out the highlights, and I may go back and do another round, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it is looking.

X men vs Sentinel

This thing is turning out tube huge.  I've got almost everything printed, but I had a jam last night, so the Cyclops beam is delayed... I was printing it in clear filament so it could be lighted later.

If anybody's interested, there are still spots left to support this for $25 USD + paypal fees.  Quite a good deal for the quality you get.  If there are 8 more backers backers they'll add Jean Grey and Storm to the package (image below).
