Hi,
my entry is kind of a stretch. If it doesnt meet the somewhat vague criteria, I will gladly retract it or hand in some other shots.
First, the link to the Album
As you can see, I didn't print out my character on a sheet of paper, but with my 3D printer.
I did several versions, but only this version was decent enough to be worked with.
GW models weren't designed for 3D printing, and I don't really know enough about CAD to split the models into parts that are easier to print.
Plus my printer is a very cheap one and I couldn't get rid of the stringing between support material and the model, so some detail was lost.
I had to add some filler to get rid of some bad parts, but this led to even less detail. The model was a pain to sand, so the paint job could not get that much better.
The spikes of the Primeval Armor broke off, so I had to replace them with nails I cut to size and fixed them to the model by heating them up and pressing them into the model. Kinda worked ok.
I am not really satisfied with how the print came out, so I will definetly do more prints of him. Currently I am rebuilding my 3D printer so hopefully I will be able to print in much better quality in a few weeks.
I currently lack the time to finish my printer and print a better version, so this will have to do it for the contest. Plus it's not too bad.
I really hope for more entries by others, like this contest deserves.
Good luck to all,
Marvin
