tbh I did a horrible paint job, but she still liked it
EDIT: the parts are 3d printed (not my model tho)
Cleaning up the print with some sandpaper might have made a big difference or is that paint chunks on the surface?
Pretty cool print either way tho :)
kinda both, there were small spikes on the surface, where the paint got chunky
Looks to be thick / undiluted paint. A spray can is cheat-mode for painting stuff like this though.
This is awesome!
I know it’s natural that your eye can’t help but pick up defects, but overall it looks great, and each project looks a bit better.
If your ever in a situation where both you and your mom are in that room and you get into an argument about destroying something and she gets really mad and starts throwing things and then throws something into that glass case and damages that model you can say…
“You broke your little ships”
OP pls develop a crippling Ahab complex so we can make this happen
As someone who makes art and sculptures from scratch, it always bothers me when people 3d print something and say “I made this”.
Your printer made it
Is your art making really high horses to sit on?
You’re fucking wrong, anytime someone puts effort into creating something they are ‘making’ even if it isn’t up to your standards.
Setting up and operating a 3-d printer requires skill. It’s not comparable to paper printing yet. Painting a model requires effort and skill.
OP didn’t just buy something and pass it off as their own work.
As someone who reads comments on the internet, it always bothers me when I see someone trying to piss all over someone else’s happiness to make themselves feel superior.
*I* maybe didn’t make it, I just put it together, but the guy who made, tested and built the model actually made it.
why is it all white
What possessed you to “paint” it
Mom’s treasure hand made stuff it could look like absolute shit but the fact that you spent time working on it for her is what she will treasure. Good job made!
Happy birthday to your mum!
