3D Printed 18mm Robot Gang

Hello again all,

This a 3D printed Robot gang for an post-apoc setting.

Models are from Imitation of Life (IOL).

Quite nice minis , especially the larger ones & the small one with a sheriff's star.

Thanks for your comments. Z

One Page Rules 3D Printed 18mm Human Defense Force mechs

Hello again all ,

these are my One Page Rules 3D Printed 18mm Human Defense Force mechs ( or OPR HDF Mechs )

And they are a treat for those of us who are 

into mecha. 

They are mostly single piece so I had to kitbash some of them.

The larger one is supposed to be a titan walker but I printed it smaller. Different sizes of the small ones to represent Alpha leader & Beta grunts.

The HDF is a very nice faction.

I think OPR is one of the best makers to offer complete sets, including rules, settings & short stories.

They also host monthly painting competitions with very nice prizes.

Thanks for your comments. Z

Panthera ALF - 18mm 3d printed minis & Papsikels FKMSA Droids

Here are Panthera ALF (Azara Liberation Front ) 18mm 3d printed minis & Papsikels FKMSA Droids.

Another set of great minis by Panthera .

The Papsikels FKMSA Droids are among the nicest around.

I decided to paint half in green & the others in white for variety.

One thing that I found & wish to share is that euro coin bases are perfect for metal minis but are murder for 3d printed ones as they add a lot of weight to falling damage. The best bases I found for these are FDM 0.75 to 1mm thick PLA or PETG ones. Loads can be fitted on the plate and take only an hour or so to print .

Most probably transparent ones can also be done but I still have to experiment on these.

Thanks for your comments. Z

18mm 3D Printed FKMSA Destroyer Robots by Papsikels

Hello again all,

Another kitbashed set of robots ... you can never have enough robots !!!

I gave them 4 arms so as to be formidable killer robots. 

A bit delicate at 18mm so make sure that arms & ankles are shored up.

I used steel needles ( 0.7mm D) to fix arms in place as they were breaking off.

Human figure is an 18mm one for scale.

From here https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-fkmsa-battled-droid-destroyer-unit-a-181582

The bases are made up of the grid rafts used in 3D printing, so do not throw them away. 

The rust is real rust. Was cleaning some rusted metal parts with white vinegar & noticed that the residue

would be great to use as rust ( it is rust after all 😉).

It comes quite nice when dry..

Can be coloured & diluted for any effect one desires as the normal white vinegar bought in markets is mild & mostly water ( just check the percentage on the bottle ). Keep in mind it is still acidic, though , you DO NOT want to splash it in your eye.
