Hello, all.
I am very happy to find this forum is still operating. The thread that pointed me here thought it was shut down.
I have been 3D printing for about 14 months, now. As a newly retired Aerospace Systems Engineer, I find it scratches my itch to continuously learn something new
I started out with no particular special interest other than continuously learning how to do it better.
Once in a while, I would print and paint a figurine like Baby Yoda and post it to LinkedIn for the amusement of my peers.
Recently, a colleague commented that he was looking forward to seeing me post an Iron Man action figure, and so my tumble into the rabbit hole began. I have zero artistic talent and no training or experience with airbrushes. I am able to modify and print other people’s STL models, and I do have a few Testor enamel paints and brushes, but my painted models are blotchy, finger-print covered and show print lines, so I decided to learn how to do better.
Today, I started looking for online resources where I could research how figurines are painted properly, and Google brought me here, through a thread ion Reapermini. I also joined Scribd, which gives me unlimited ,access to resourc.es like Osprey manuals and various model painting magazines, so now I just need to put in the work. I am looking forward to getting to know you good people a bit better, and hoping you can help me do better works.
If I can answer any questions you may have about 3D printing, I am happy to do so.
Cheers,
Steve.
