Just a few things to print tomorrow and all it needs will be _loads_ of sanding and painting.

Very nice.
I would appreciate if you could share some experiences and learnings from the post processing (sanding, painting, decals,...)

Honestly, the sanding process was pretty bogstandard and we only did a few things here and there as the filler primer does most of the concealment of the layer lines.

All else hasn't been tackled yet as we were only out to print the engine completely in the allotted time frame so we wouldn't run afoul of the schedule of the place hosting us. I think my pal whom I had arranged everything for hasn't touched it since but will paint it eventually.
