I painted it using a some Army Painter Speed paints, some Vallejo Paints, Apple barrel craft paint, and Rust-Oleum primer.

It’s not the best I’ve done but I’m still happy with how it came out.

EDIT: After some digging I was able to find the original art that was used for the stat block. Link

    You can get crazy details on resin printers for sure, but good models to start with make all the difference

      Yeah resin is basically easy mode, although post processing and resin costs certainly compensate. Can’t complain about MZ4250 models, they’re not all necessarily perfectly optimized, but the ones I’ve printed have generally come out well, and I’m on an Ender 3.

        This model is actually an example of one that I think could have been a bit better

        Specifically by having a version without the base included

        But for the price of Free it’s pretty hard to complain

        And yeah resin is easy mode for quality but hard mode for post processing, I’ve got both resin and filament printers and I basically use the resin printer for only miniatures due to post processing

        Edit: I’ve got about a decade of 3D modeling experience (CAD and Blender) so I could have done it myself but I usually will use people’s presupported files when available because I’d prefer to save the time it takes to properly support a model if I don’t have to. Honestly though I’m probably on a few prints away from starting an effort of removing bases from minis and uploading them as remixes. When licensing allows of course.
