WIP OPR Alien Hives

First prints off my Saturn 2. Excited to have them prepped for painting. I may have been to heavy handed with the zenithal...but time will tell!

Quite the contrary, really. I'd say do another pure titanium white pass on the most prominent highlights (topographically) to make sure they really pop after laying in the glazing/slapchop colors. The key here is distinct contrast between the zenithal shades. 🤙🏼

edit: Also, we'd love to have you post your progress with these and other printed pieces over at !3DPrintedGaming 🤓

Thank you for all of the above suggestions! I'm experimenting with white ink over black primer via airbrush here. I'll break out the dry-brush and titanium white to finish off this prep.

Hey dude this community includes 3d printed minis already! Should we do a sidebar link swap?

For sure, that sounds great! Whatever it takes to build this Lemmy thing into a proper, supportive and inspiring community, right? 👍🏼

Yeah absolutely. The balance will be between having subcommunities which account for future growth but not splintering existing, still-small communities too much now.

I've added you to the sidebar!
