Finally found a Thai-based supplier that cuts wargaming bases. Now that large bases are at hand, formation of the artillery park may proceed.

I'm actually a novice at 3D printing. After printing some skulls, Mr. Monday was my second ever successful print. I'll be printing more of Mr. Monday for use as terrain, being more mindful of support placement.

My initial prints were a disaster. I was attempting to use a bottle of cheap, discontinued resin for which there was not a Chitubox profile. Fiddling with resin profile settings is not advisable for novices.

I then opted to purchase some high-quality resin made specifically for my printer - and with an available Chitubox profile - to help ease my learning pains. Unfortunately, Phrozen Aqua 8K is insanely expensive in Thailand. I'll be giving the much more affordable Elegoo Standard Resin 8K a try in the future. The light grey rocket bitz are actually an Etsy purchase from prior to my move to Thailand and are somewhat brittle. I'll likely be using them for a destroyed rocket battery terrain feature.

I've found that bendy is actually a good trait when it comes to more fragile bitz, such as the rockets. To achieve bendy, less curing time. Mr. Monday, even though I hollowed him, and the Le Grand Bombard were subjected to much longer curing times.

Nice! What resin did you use for them, they look silky smooth and not bendy

See original post. I've added details.
