Nice to see peoples booty, well I have window sill of shame, with all my sunbathing models curing in the sun.
and a table of shame which has not progressed to the window yet
and 2 biscuit tins of planes ready for painting, a good few hundred. Its all very addictive, lockdown finished to early and retirement cant come quick enough
Now ships and tanks thats something I need to start printing now.
Only had it for a few weeks and spent a lot of time experimenting so quite a few failures.
Also had to print a few pokemon models and pokemon related items for the boy
Just started my second litre bottle of resin. Also got some clear stuff to experiment with canopies.
I'm sure I'll have a few more boxes soon
My next paint project Jeff. Nice job, BTW.

The output by you guys with 3D printers is awesome.
Nothing shameful about that Tim, its great. I can't help but wonder, though, if another Tim we know has ever considered buying a printer. The subsequent output there would be interesting I feelI have window sill of shame
If you don't want to spend a bunch of time painting aliens, I found a color shifting paint called Darth Blue. I wanted my aliens to be shiny black with blue highlights... and that is just what this paint does. Put on a simple base coat of gloss black and then a very thinly spread around coat of Darth Blue... trim teeth and claws in silver and done. It dried hard as a rock, so I'm not even going to apply a finish lacquer coat.
Google " painting aliens Darth Blue" if you are interested. I suspect it would be even better if sprayed on, but I only paint board game pieces, so no airbrush for me.
And if you haven't assembled your aliens yet, pay special attention to fitting the tails so the glue can grab hold of something... they have a terrible fit and internet is full of tales of tails falling off. I had two such failures.
Jeff, I'll look at that, thanks. I've got 50 Prodos AvP Aliens and pinned the tail of every one of the buggers, so I will be doing the same with these ones.

They are so good Steve, really are.

Nice prints, first time I wave seen those WW1 planes printed, they look good. I also need to source a good I-16 for my Soviet forces and my growing collection of Spanish Civil War decals
Very nice

Paul, I love the quad wing plane! wonderful!
Very nice Paul, the FK.10 sure is an interesting plane.
My, what a refreshing change Paul, but who can you entice to fly a plane like that?

No? Thats a shame.

And here's a shot of my stands 'in action'
Mark suggested that I add a small 'platform' in front of the peg to hold a jam counter. I would have to make it the correct dimensions to hold both styles of counters, the old (20.32mm diam as well as the new(16.19mm diam). Of course for 2-seaters I would have to add one for the rear gunner as well - not a big deal!
Do any other groups place a jam counter on the aircraft base as well as the requisite number of counters on their cockpits?

Placing a gun jam counter on the base is very helpful in remembering who cannot shoot. Something to hold a jam counter would be helpful, front and back for a 2-seater. Same would hold for a wounded crew marker.
I put one of Keith's excellent gun jam markers on my aircraft (front and/or back) and the requisite number of the Ares tokens on the cockpit.
When using the 'one gun jam' rule for A deck planes I use the Nexus marker to indicate that one gun can still fire.
Aliens are finished. Vaccinated friends coming over Saturday night to figure out how to play the darn game.
Toyed with my new photo light box... I did not do it justice. One more thing to figure out later. Here is a sample:
So Aliens - Another Glorious Day in the Corps and all expansions = painted
Zombicide - all expansions and kickstarter sets = painted
I was basking in the thought of the time I can now spend on WoG repaints... when I got a shipping notice for my Terraforming Mars Big Box Kickstarter set. There better not be anything needing paint in that big box!
Fantastic job, Jeff! My copy with all the expansions is still sitting here. PM me your shipping address so I can get you to assemble and paint them.
