Just thought I would share what I have been doing. Also, to show that it is possible for someone new in all aspects of 3D printing and miniature painting that with determination you too can do it.
3d Printed Hero Quest board.
The past 6 months, I have been working on this project. I've had to learn how to manipulate 3d files.
I would get files off of Thingiverse.com and alter them to fit my needs. Such as size and shape.
Resources:
True tile sample pack
Rampage sample pack
Thingiverse models
Needs:
3d Printer & Filiment
Modular Tile Models
Modular wall Models
Decoration Models
then, I printed for 4-5 months straight.
Then I had to learn how to paint them.
Painting:
1. Prime in Black paint
2. Base color coat of gray
3. Unbleached titanium white dry brush
4. Polyshades minwax coat
5. Dull coat to remove sheen effect.
You can see where I am in the following pictures
Here is my VLOG of the build.
