Starting off easy with Duergar Screamer and Hammerer (still Jen)
I... should not take close-up photos. I already see something like 10 things I'd like to go back and change.
Could I have gone for more than one color and a shade? Yes.
Did I spend 9 hours today removing a metric ton of supports and priming everything and therefore make the executive decision that one color and a shade would be just fine? Also yes.
I'm missing him like crazy but the silver lining of Miguel being gone is he's not here to micromanage my paint jobs lol
Files are here: screamer and hammerer
I'll try to limit the cat photos ...but I make no promises.

Looks awesome! FYI, you can save a ton of time and quality on the print by manually adding supports. Printing at 45 degrees works well but you have to sacrifice one side of your mini to bumps or pits. Basically, when you print with no angle, auto support then add a few more manually. I have the photon and it prints really well this way and leaves me with just a 5 minute cleanup and no bumps 😁.
Is there a way you address the issue that Christian has and we used to have where it was sticking pretty hard to the bed? I think because modeling is Miguel's favorite part of this process he prefers the rapidity with which he can tip it on its side and toss on autosupports to have a successful print 98% of the time. It saves him the time/energy he'd rather use on making more models. WITH THAT SAID I have considered personally learning how to do manual supports and taking over that part of the process for him, because as the person that removes supports all the merges drive me absolutely batty! Did you use any tutorials on manual supports or was it more a matter of trial and error?
Ok I think you or the cat should have your own blog/patreon!
do you consider the paintjob finished or is this only the primer color? The cat looks awesome, so majestic in the background, as if it is the secret scheming emperor... I like cat in the background images.
In the cat pic it was just primed, but yeah the top picture is "finished" given I have loads more still to paint before Miguel gets back. If it's not up to his standards I don't consider my paint jobs sacred and he has full permission to mess with it. Aurora was actively considering what to knock off the table if I stopped paying attention to her so "scheming" is an apt descriptor lol
I did hammerer for my first resin print at 45 degrees and Z +5. Came out great.
More importantly... Did it come off the bed easy?!?
Paint job? Awesome! Cat? Also Awesome!
That cat looks ready to roll for initiative. Those models look like they're out of a 60s sci-fi show, which is meant as a compliment :) I'm also pretty sure the camera makes the support points look 100x worse than they are because that's what cameras do.
right? they're BARELY visible in nearly any other context! I considered not posting it, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
