Post pics of your own 3D creations (not purchased)

I can recreate objects of a more "mechanical" design, but stuff with complex curves eludes me with the simple software that I use. I'm going to have to learn Moi or something.

Some fine work with your sculpting. Since you've designed this before but lost your files, do you think you've done a better job now than before? Most times when I lose my old work, I find that it was a good thing, because the new work is better than the previous.

Thank you sir,i wish I was sculpting, but zBrush has always had too frustrating a UI for me so I am poly modeling this guy in Max. As for better,nah, faster with some improvements sure. Like building a model a second time it goes better as one knows the pitfalls. Back when I first started and pc’s weren’t as powerful as they are now and software wasn’t so stable, we would lose work pretty regularly and always joke how this time it was only going to take half as long And it was always true! I am modeling this a bit different in someways knowing it’s for print. Hopefully it works.

I don't have a 3D printer, but I decided to make models of ships that I like and that don't have commercial kits.

I started by making my own interpretation of the Eclipse Super Star Destroyer based on the illustrations from the comic book where the ship appears.

The model was made with the intention of printing it at a scale of about 1:30,000, measuring approximately 60 centimeters in length. But with the detail I did, it would be possible to print at even larger scales and still be detailed enough. I separated the model into parts that make it possible to print it on the scale I imagined on small resin printers.

So my printer arrived today,so I put in some time on the Batmobile. I am getting close as I remodeled the rear fender vents for the third time. Hopefully it on to the details tomorro. I had to give it a closer materiel just for funsies. Really hoping to get the model done this weekend.

Really looking good

Thanks joberg I appreciate it a lot and it helps keep me going. i am seeing a finish line, I did the rear vents today, started the tail lights and jet intake. Yesterday I re did the side exhaust and am reworking the inner bat wings. I don’t plan on doing a detailed under carriage as I will never be looking at the bottom but we’ll see. I had to throw some simple tires on there.

 

[Fett_Ish]

Getting closer, maybe. I have remodeled the front end, side intake, and canopy as well as the rear end lol. Hoping that I can get it in the printer this weekend.

Ok so how about some stuff I built had printed and actually used already I made these for my deagostini falcon and was thinking of scaling it all for the new R2 release. It’s the whole assembly behind the tank deck, the little engine cylinders on either side, the triangular uprights, the Y shaped parts and the parts the uprights are in with the 3 holes on top and the little spoiler thingy,lol. I made the McLaren parts on the mandible roots and all the little details on the cannon mount including the bit on portion that hold the yolk.

One possible build would be for a saucer from the 1982 THE THING.

One saucer offering is true to the opening...but the matte painting of the upper side looks better...like two R-7 strap-on boosters stop it...

Eager to see it all printed

I have printed the front 3rd twice now. First I ran out of resin before the print finished so garbage. Second print was a success except the front end vents were jacked up being too thin and not enough supports which I could just build back with miliput and styrene. Then when washing I noticed there was some step error so I am trying again!

Keep at it! I bought a resin printer earlier this year and I haven't done much with it due to it being more difficult than my FDM printer. It's definitely worth it for the better details, but it can be a hassle. I need to get back at it myself. Even after reading up on it before buying and using it, there's always stuff that goes wrong that you have to figure out.

So after a couple tries we are moving along. Here are the two biggest parts,the rear end is printing right now. As I built it 1:1 then scaled it down, from 20 feet to 20 inches, but the store file came out tiny and I just scaled it up 700% to get it as big as I could it isn’t in a established scale. We’ll call it almost as big as I wanted scale. the panel lines are so fine as to disappear. Hopefully I can keep paint from filling them. The front vents are so thin that while I got them through the print process clean up destroys them. I made them this way because I want to put some photoetch mesh behind them. Rather than fix and re print I made replacements I will print separately with the detail parts. I am learning that in some respects this modeling is in someways easier. It will be interesting to move to small detail parts and I need to finish modeling them and the wheels. Loving the prints and printer.

What did you print it on? It turned out nice.

Thanks Taz. I got a Uniformation GKTwo.

Real nice/cool...too bad about those vents; but, as you said, it'll be re-build and good as new
Love the scale, btw!

So I am nearly done with the print phase. I still have to make the rear bumper and thruster as well as at least a rudi interior to hold up the canopy. I have a canopy in the pic, but I printed the wrong one. I have to reprint the gun covers as the angle wasn’t good for the louvers. I have the wheels, tires, front turbine and gas caps modeled. You can see I have started some body work as well as fixes for vents and trunk. I could have reprinted but I enjoy the fixing And always intended to make models for building so…..I have ordered some photoetch mesh for both behind open vents and around the lower side details. I modeled those portions and you can see holes in the pipes for placing them, but it was simply too smal since they are just metal full of holes. With the part separations once I get to painting it should go fast.

This is what the AMT Batmobile should have been.

Made a few 3d models for print over the last years.
The Klingon 5D Tanker at 1/350 was my latest.
3d model created wirh Maxon Cinema4D and printed on a Mono X.
