Re: Star Lord Quad Blasters (kit by Joatrash & Morganthirteen)
OK, here you go. A small preview! Keep in mind that these parts are untouched beyond having removed some support material. Note that you can hardly see
any print lines. The parts are mainly a combination of silver metallic and pearlescent white plastic. Both are extremely smooth but the glitter in the former makes it hard to tell. The handle is a bit rougher since it's a 15+ hour print even at a lower resolution with a lot of support, but since the Quad Blasters will be cleaned up and cast, print surface is a moot point anyway.
Surface quality is more important in the rockets, since I'm going to offer a very limited run of lightweight Boot Rocket kits, hollow with frosted/transparent parts for lights/electronics and magnets that will be 1st gen prints. (Look for a separate thread on this in the next few days.) You can see the frosted plastic of that kit in the intake turbine at the bottom right. The idea is to paint the flanges solid so that the light can shine between them and thus look like the glow of a super-heated jet. The exhaust and center button will also be semi-transparent. (Honestly, I wasn't expecting to be able to replicate the level of detail shown in the turbine, so that was a nice surprise!)
For the quad Blasters, you can see the grip, top barrel center, lower barrel center, lower barrel shroud, top barrel shroud vent hole and rear barrel greebly.
