Painting a 3D-printed Caribbean building

I've posted a step-by-step painting guide for Printable Scenery's new 3D-printed Caribbean building:

A perfect building for pirate games! Though, of course, this type of house could have any other uses – the Peninsular War springs to mind, or Maximilian’s Mexican Adventure, or the Spanish Civil War.

Matt designed the building in a semi-fortified state, with boarded and bricked windows on the ground floor as you would find is times of war and civil unrest. There is limited access on the ground floor, but lots of firing positions on the upper floors. Perfect for a last stand!

I’m really looking forward to seeing what other buildings Matt adds to his Caribbean range. I’ve plied him with photos of real buildings from Havana (Cuba), as well as pictures from the Disneyland ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ ride – let’s see if any of these come to fruition!

Very nice! I've been considering that range, although I don't have a decent 3D-printer available yet...

Very nice. Can I ask roughly how much it cost's in printing the 'resin'?

That looks a fantastic building and well painted too.

The layered printing effect actually looks good here. Nice job!

For those who wish to know, the building was printed on a Prusa MK2, using ABS filament. It cost about US$8 to print. Each section took about ten hours, so was printed overnight. It was printed it at .2 layer height at slow speed.

I got it as a raw print, not treated at all, but just primed in Warlord black primer.
