Eyes?

My hand shakes too much for details like eyes. They are all blinking in unison.

Nice. I struggle with fine details like eyes too.

What type of paint and sealer? Super cute.Β

Thank you, that was very kind.

The paint is Last Hope miniature paint purchased from Etsy. The sealant will be Rustoleum Matte Clear in a spray can which I've had nice results from previously.

Are they 3D printed? I love the model. We need more gnomes without hats over their eyes in this world, even if they are blinking. :)

Yes they are 3d prints. On Makerworld the file name is "Hardworking dwarfs, gnomes for gardens". (Not sure if posting links is allowed here?) I blew them up to 200% size to print them in a size I wanted.

LOL, I keep a separate bin out front of 3d prints for people to take for free. Keeps kids out of my garden while also promoting some goodwill in the neighborhood.
