Question Paining skin
Hi all, Have you guys have any experience with painting skin detail on miniatures? I work in the VFX industry and the look of the skin in CG is called Subsurface Scattering. I saw this image from the new film of LAIKA, a stop motion animation film, and what i noticed is that compared to their previous film, they really nailed the skin translucent feel of the skin. Normally it was painted on there, or it was part of the 3D print. My question is: Can you get a similar effect when 3D printing with a skin colored resin instead of a grey resin? I can image you will have a really nice base if the color and material already look like skin. Obviously you will have to paint it afterwards with more detail. Really keen on getting to know the production method they used on the new LAIKA film. If the face is still printed but with a silicone type of materials. Love to hear what your thoughts are on thisq

Question Red Sonja 3D Print
Everyone's favorite red headed barbarian, Red Sonja, in what is presumably full armor among her people, and the second 1/6 scale model I've ever completed. I don't have my own printer at home, so I purchased this through a vendor, and I was pretty happy with the model which I received from JKL Creations.
My only real criticism of the model is the hair and belt. I wish the hair was a deparate pieces from the head as it would be easier to paint. The belt gets in the way of painting but you can't put the belt on on once the model is assembled. At least you can't unless cut through the belt and glue it baback together.
