James mate, truly incredible! Massive respect for that figure, and I also really like the fact that the bike looks dirty and weathered, but that the weathering is in-scale. It's super easy to go overboard but you've got it just right with this!

Not only is the finished model amazing and the level of painting just incredible, the actual detail in the 3D printed model is just nuts! I do a little bit of 3D modelling g and printing and I know there is a fine line when it comes to super fine details and what the printer can achieve….so my deepest respect to the modeller and the printer that made this possible! Once again you have set the bar!

thats awesome very nice work indeed ! I need to ask Edgar to send me that kit is great ,as i told them before they need to make an 1/16 scale will be a killer kit !By the way a small tip because you have already uv resin to your hands ,when you want to remove some of the layer lines you can brush some of it especially if it is a flat surface ,cure it and you are done ! Works for me anyway and makes those layers less pronounced !

To quote the legendary Frankie Howerd, "I was flabbergasted! My gast has never been so flabbered" I've never seen such a well designed and made model with such accurate parts and the figure was simply amazing. Your ability to build and paint vehicles AND figures is beyond belief. Some can paint fantastic vehicles but their human models look almost cartoonish. You have that rare talent of being able to make and paint both to the highest degree. Regarding the bike, shouldn't this be the way in the future of model designing? Injection moulding is so "1950's" now it's about time the model making industry came into the 21st century. If they can just get rid of the visible layer lines then the models of the future will really be literal miniatures of the original item. Fantastic work!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@lpjmodels

Ай бұрын

Thanks Fus that's really kind. I think the tech is there now, the stuart I have cooking has zero visible layers, I think super detailed bits like this are more tricky to perfect mind. The only problem I see is the resin being brittle, and hard to glue. Unless some form of uv styrene turns up there is still that minor issue. I mean superglue and epoxy work, but sometimes the working time and carvability of styrene is nicer. Like figures for example, the ability to blend out the bumps left from supports would be amazing if it was a bit less time consuming. That being said I do love 3d printed bits and the files avaliable are increasing daily !

Lovely.

I was clearly born forty or fifty years too early. The quality of that model before you ever did anything with it just blew my mind. Motorcycles in that scale have been something I've always avoided due to not wanting to go blind and crazy and frustrated with superdetailing.

'... Is this my best model yet ?...' Well, I've never seen any of your other videos - the link to this one was posted last night by MOS6510 on an Airfix and Chill live stream. However, I'd find it /very/ difficult to find anything better, so I'd have to say that if it /isn't/ it has to be in the top three :) One question about the painting. I watch another You Tuber Miniature Realms and he does a lot of figure painting using a 'zenithal like' technique of basing the whole figure in black and then spraying white from various directions always from the top to get natural shadows, and then dry brushes white to pick out highlights. After that he uses contrast /style/ paints to add the colour with the shading automatically provided by the white. Really interesting to see a more traditional technique to create shades :)

Amazing work mate! The figure colour balance is phenomenal, you've blended everything really well. What thinning ratio did you use for his face layers? Looking forward to your next video

On most of the newer printers they aren't as pronounced, I printed a Stewart recently and it literally needs no post processing.

These 'steps' from 3D printing are really visible. Shame CSM didn't manage to avoid them, because they charge a small fortune for this kit. Anyway and little bit of attention to details would be great move from their side. Same like in their platic models they omit some details tso later then can charge fortune for their' replacements'. Money is more interesting than customer satisfaction.

@lpjmodels why other guys like Miniart can give you kit which doesn't require extra addons at the relatively modest price and CSM charges fortune for their laziness in model design process? Look for their gun turret model, if you want to build it accurately you have to add the same amount of money like for basic kit. Not even mentioning price of horse pack for it.
