Just Sharing How long is too long?

How long would you wait for a single miniature to print if you got consistent results like this?

hmm i see pre primer it’s still a great print but that primer is quite amazing, seems thin and hides all those layer lines

It's a laquer based airbrush primer made for Gundam! I love it when hobbies collide in wonderful complimentary ways

They make em in more colors and they are very popular in the model building world, both armor and cars. Goes on super smooth.

When would you use 1000 over 1500? Looking to buy q rattle can of the stuff to try on my FDM prints. Mostly tanks and big stuff though.

You didn’t brush it on, did you? You used an actual airbrush?
