The knights look great. I would probably print the bases separate on my fdm printer though. Good job and thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I would do that too if I had an FDM Printer. The Bases have been the biggest issue with these.

I've printed with with and without bases. It's easier to remove the supports without the bases. And they look nicer with separate bases.


But I have question about painting: How to you paint them without bases? How do you hold them to spray on the primer, and then how to you hold them without getting your fingers all over them?

I white tac the models to a cardboard box by putting a tiny piece of tac under their foot while spray priming them. Then I super glue them to the finished base to finish painting them. Heroscape bases are a little harder just because you don't want to get any paint on the sticker. But in that case you can just paint the feet before super gluing them down.

Thanks, that makes sense. I should get some white tac
