  Miniatures pt123 – Vietnam 

  I’ve dabbled further in supports settings, and for this part I had some better results with painted supports. Still not where I’d like to be, I want to fine tune my settings further.

  Printed and painted a handful more March to Hell Vietnam miniatures. This is a mix from the range, meant to be used in my Forgotten Ruin campaign. It’s a couple more M60 gunners to be used as SAW gunners, an HQ officer to be used as Platoon Leader, a Vietcong riflewoman who can be used as Athen Smarte, and the remaining squaddie from my US Special Forces, a dude with a knife. As always, the photographs tend to be less forgiving that the real life when talking about FDM prints. Nevertheless, in the foreseeable future I want to try out different techniques meant to cover layer lines.

  Miniatures pt122 – US Special Forces 

  I like to showcase painted minis so that the end result is evident. Here’s the US Special Forces from March to Hell Vietnam by 3dbreed. My print is missing one miniature which I replaced with the one from their free Promo.
  They’re printed in 15mm scale, in FDM at a Bambu Labs A1 mini with 0.2mm nozzle. 0.04mm Layer Height. ELEGOO PLA filament.
  I had some issues mainly with supports, but at the end I think I’ve solved it. So these prints have been printed with different settings. I resolved to scaled down 55% versions of their 28mm designs, with manual painted Normal Snug supports, but you’ll also find a couple that were printed from their resin-lychee-supported 15mm versions that survived the initial batch printing I did. A few minis had some minor defects due to me mainly being rough with them during support removal before nailing down the setting a, which I solved with UHU Hardplast Glue.
  Painting them was tough, as I tried to create the colours from acrylic palette as I’m missing the Vallejo range. I think they turned out nice.
