Keep the M2 busy over the holiday break!

136 hour print with over two 1kg rolls of filament. It was printed in about 20 parts @ .20mm layer height.

I feel like I finished a marathon, except for the running part. ;)

There was some interest on my part in painting it. I just think about the good old days of playing D&D with painted miniatures and I want to paint and weather it.

On the other hand, things printed in white filament have that "carved marble sculpture" look and it looks pretty cool as is. I hate to paint it.

I guess I could always make another one.....


:twisted:

I went the other way in response to a small buildings thread on reddit.

Okay, somehow the two of you need to get those two castles side by side and take a picture of the the two of them together and send it to Rick for the MG web page....

So freaking cool. :lol:
