Thank you all for making 2019 an inspiring year for painting! It was the year I feel like I finally broke through and really became proficient, largely due to all of you. I have gotten lots of tips, tricks, and amazingly talented examples thanks to all of you.

May I present the results of my 2019 painting?
In all, 32 ships were painted! I couldn't believe it when I counted. Some are 3D prints, they are pointing right in the group shots. All the others are stock FFG ships. You can probably tell I still have things to learn, but I am loving this hobby!

Despite 32 ships painted it seems like I still have a ton on my desk waiting for paint in 2020. Thanks for your support and keep those brushes busy in 2020!

Can't wait to see what we all put together. This group is an inspiring place to be!

3D printed on my Ender 3, adding plasticard paneling now. I present my Corellian Gunship. I plan to convert it to Rebels and Scum (maybe Resistance, too). Still a long way to go.

Aww, broken link?

Hmmm. I see it, but let me try again... @RuusMarev

Did you make the model? (render)

I didn't, I downloaded a model from Thingiverse and scaled it so it looked ok next to a CR90.

Ok, I think I found the same one..by opelman77?

I've been meaning to fire my ender3 up again.. (I have an issue with the adjustment dials loosening during printing.. got frustrated and decided to take a break )

Nice work. Love the 'blown up' rebel transport.

Yup, that's the one. I printed it at 115% I believe. The tubes needed to be printed at 111% because they were too big to fit in the assembled sections.

I'm just coming off of a similar experience. I was having extruder motor problems and constant failed prints, but finally fixed it (more like jury rigged it). It's been fun to get back into it.

Thanks! That's a classic Space Rocks debris model. RIP Space Rocks, I still want your frigate.

Very nice looking ships.

And that hammer head (I think that is what it is called) is awesome. I will have to dust off my printer too and get started.

Again great looking ships thanks for sharing.

Thanks! My printer has really added to the hobby, it has been great. Definitely pull yours out and start using it! The hammerhead is a pretty easy print.

Progress on the Gunship. Panels have been hand-cut from plasticard and glued on. The ship was primed last night.

I started some base coat coloring on the Gunship!

Gunship progress is happening! Adding weathering and detail. Will add some magnetized guns soon.

It's finished! I finally attached the guns, all magnetic. The Gunship was printed on my Ender 3 and then I applied plasticard as the armor panels.



Good job!!1

I like it.

The Hammer head is a 3D printed one or is scratch build??

Hammerhead is a 3D print, too. It is a pretty easy print.

That’s great too I made one with high detail scratch builded here below is the link

anyway I had designed a 3D print with high detail and separated parts to print it on resine... I’ll keep you posted once I start printing it on 3D

Wow! That turned out great! Can't wait to see what else you come up with!

Scale comparison of all the epics

The next project is shaping up...

What size MAP would you need, to put that on!
