In other news, an extremely talented fella who goes with the name of draconian_minipainting (https://www.instagram.com/draconian_minipainting/) painted one of my infantry models. In 6mm. One.



It is TINY!

And... well, i couldn't resist making it more challenging for him, so I started designing... this!



...which is now being printed on Drac's printer. I know it's not what I should be doing these evenings, but the hype was real!

I've said it before but Draconian is obviously a superb painter. Taking 6mm to a whole new level.
3d designer, sculptor and printer, at your service!

And in the bad old days you would have had to cut all those
fiddly bits off the sprue (breaking some & losing some in the
process) THEN glue it all together!!!! :o

Hehe, while the new approach is faster, i miss the kitbashing. And 3D printing has its own suffering... But yeah, the painter got the file and will start playing with it soon, i'm super curious about that!!!

Meanwhile, here's some shots of the smaller behemoth:



AND a family shot:

Too awesome. Feeling that epic scale bug creeping up my back damn you! Seriously though, looks incredible, thanks for sharing.
