if it looks alright, then where is the issue?

My thoughts exactly! When only my minis are out on the tabletop, you don’t even notice the “scale creep”.
I guess if I were to take them and try to play a game against someone else, my minis would appear overly “chunky” or out-of-scale. But compared to themselves, they look just fine to me (and since I’m not one for going out to clubs or play in tournaments, my mini painting is basically for me anyway).

After 15+ years of denying 3d printing (at least filament printing) I bought myself a FlashForge 5M last Xmas and have been loving it. Not just for tabletop terrain but 1:1 modding (adding an electric kit to my bike)

@Lazagram you look like you’ve got some half decent results there! I find for really fiddly details, a mix of fdm printed terrain with a few resin-printed greebles glued on top can look really nice (after a few coats of primer). But even on its own, that’s looking pretty good so far!

@sundancer – I hear you. I couldn’t even attempt to paint faces without my jewellers magnifiers. The ones with the interchangeable lenses and big stupid LED lamp on the front. It’s amazing what difference shining a light directly onto the minis makes to aid with painting. When I was younger I could paint almost by candlelight – not any more!

@danlee – any decent solo rules you can recommend ?
