Yep. I thought of that, but I left it at that. He just lopped off the head. If I could have managed it dripping I would have. LOL Retired firefighter. Believe me, Ive seen PLENTY of blood outside the body in all stages.

If anything I believe that right away. 🙂

OK, so I took the dive. I bought an Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra resin printer. I am loving it!!! This thing is awesome. And the ease of use is incredible. I was printing within an hour of setting it up. Would have been sooner but had issues getting the newest Chitubox version downloaded.

I joined a 3D page on FB and have rapidly realized I am NOT enthused about trying an FDM type printer. Dear Lord. Its like you have to do 48 calibrations and sacrifice 10 virgins to get a decent print out of those things. Every problem posted has 32 different answers and all of them COULD be the issue. Although I have been looking at Elegoos Neptune 4 Max. That one seems to be pretty good and does a lot of auto calibrating. So thats something Im pondering.

Here are some of the things Ive printed up already. Stacking up the future projects. As if I dont have enough model kits to keep me going until my last breath.

Donatello as the Last Ronin. In the comics its Michelangelo, but this model has it as Donnie, and I LIKE it! I still have o print the base, but his hands and the rest of the stuff are printed, just not pictured.

Dragon skull, then Tiamat then a cobalt dragon.

🤣 someone else who hates doing the weaps!! I do mine first now, and I mean ALL of the supplied weapons , even if I don't need them, cos I know I will on another build, might as well go through the pain as few times as possible 😆. Looking very sweet btw.

Someone needs to offer a weapons building service. Ship the sprues and decals, pay 50 bucks and they send them back completed. LOL

Ouch, the low level mission profile was not a success in real life or plastic!

The build was excellent, but the metallic work just blew this kit out of the water - and that 1st place was well deserved. Like you, I've banned the family cat from the workspace after he decided to jump on my finished A-10A, crushing a landing gear. I hope you and your daughter can have a chuckle at the mishap later in life - sometimes it's the little cracks that makes for interesting stories and fond memories - hopefully!

Beautiful colors!
