My first test with Citadel colors.

Usually I'm found on my old Humbrol colors.

This model is really hard to print for my cheap 3Drag, but thanks to Elektaphaz anyway.

I've just prefered something a bit different from the obvious yellow... :-)

Try to paint before anything else with a solution of 1:1 water/acetone.

Thi can smoth the problems of the 3D print and make easier to you for painting.

hope this helps

There's a vid on YouTube where a guy places a printed gizmo under a glass that contains some acetone. The acetone is not in contact with the printed part only the vapors. This definitely softens the "print lines". Sorry, I don't have a link to that particular video.

Watch out...I think the acetone-smoothing vapour-bath only works on ABS, not on PLA

Also, it may be a complete non-starter, but you could try printing them on their nose...I did this with my Senators shuttle [although that was split in two, so more "floor" area] but it really reduces the effect of the layering
