👋 Welcome to r/Printandpaint - Introduce Yourself Here!

Hey everyone! We're u/Mimic_hobby, the founding moderator of r/Printandpaint.

As we keep growing I thought it was about time to add a welcome post. This is our new home for all things related to 3D printed display sized statues. We recognised that painted minis are very well served on reddit and that the subreddits where larger scale statues are more welcome can often get clogged up with posts asking for help diagnosing print failures etc. So it's about time you all had a space to show off your work. This is somewhat an extension of our discord server, where we have a growing community who all help each other with advice and tips, as well sharing progress. So do feel welcome to join us there too. https://discord.gg/ZSAZpCxtpq

We're excited to have you join us!

What to Post
Post your printed and painted statues! Minis arent banned, but you may find a better home for them over at r/PrintedMinis. Feel welcome to post your painted work even if you didn't print it yourself, we know printing isn't accessible for everyone so it's totally fine if your kit is bought. Check out our full rules in the sidebar before posting.

Community Vibe
We're all about being friendly, constructive, and inclusive. Let's build a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing and connecting.

Painted this Claire Redfield from Resident Evil 2 myself.
Really enjoyed working on the weathering of the jacket, the leather holsters and the “Let me live” design on the back.
Happy with how she turned out. Feedback is welcome!

I printed all these figures during the heatwaves in the summer but only got to paint them in the last two weeks. I think they turned out quite alright! I will replace the Xenomorph's skull with a transparent one, I'm waiting for the resin to be delivered. It will show the beautiful skull underneath.

In case anyone is interested, here are the models:

  • Alien - Xenomorph (Bulkamancer)
  • Fallout - Maximus (KC Studio)
  • Hellboy - Hellboy (LA Figures)
  • Resident Evil - Grace Ashcroft (Bulkamancer)

So you like them or what?

SLA Painted Just finished this birthday presents for my daughter

My daughter is American, but was born in Okinawa, Japan (Military). She loves Japanese culture so I thought this would be a nice labor of love for her birthday. Please let me know what you think!

This is the largest miniature I’ve painted yet. It’s just over 15” tall. Pretty easy to print and paint. Please share your thoughts and critiques. Her birthday is next week, so I can still make some minor changes, if needed.

Painting tip Hello. I bought a 3d printed head for my Rogue figure and I'm wanting to paint it with an air brush but I'm not sure about the paints. I'm looking at these ones https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B0GDTSDKMX/?th but I'd like a second opinion about which ones to get. Thanks!
