I just got this stl file and the storm shadow one too..... this has been a big help in ideas arena, I plan on doing a few things diff but you gave me some diff options and ideas so thank you so much
I like how your shelves are running over with prints . Thats what im trying to do . I had to stop doing stuff for people its too time consuming. I got 2 statues to complete painting then im going to fill my 2 giant shelves with statues like i originally planed . I got into this for my self then the sharing creeped in i gotta stop that. Great work as always . Happy creating...........
I love what you are doing, great work!... You can buy refills for the Molotow markers that are a lot cheaper and come in a squirt bottle that is very convenient for the airbrush.
Your attention to detail sets you apart from everyone else! Awesome work as always my dude and I continue to learn from your videos! Keep up the awesome artwork my dude!
Thanks for the tip about Createx Jet Black! Applied on my model and it looks great and makes great contrast to the regular Vallejo Model Color black! I've been learning a lot from you. Thank you man. Do you have any Discord group besides the Patreon? I would like to make part of 3D Printing Painting community. Cheers
Anyone know how long Megs takes to get back to folks? After seeing this video and the impressive painting and model, of course I needed it. I reached out 3-4 days ago and never heard back. Does he have a website or store anywhere? Thanks for the help and keep up the great videos for us re learning painting after 35 years 🧐🤡
Sometimes he takes a little while. I usually find him on Instagram and DM him on there. OH, and thanks for the kind words! Storm Shadow's video is coming soon!
Love your videos! Great job1 It inspires me on my model work. Would you happen to know how tall Snake Eyes is? I have someone printing it for me in 1/6 scale and with the base, they said it would be 16 inches.
I hate when you get ahead of yourself and create problems for yourself, glad to know its not just me. You still got a great result brushing the CC helmet. Have you tried Alclad Chrome or Stainless Steel? Might save you some $$$ vs using the Chrome marker. As usual, great work!
I've used those before but I would still have the issue with masking it off to paint. So I just brushed it on and it turned out ok. And yeah.....Sometimes you run into those issues.
If you're looking to capture details then resin printing is the way to go. If you're doing cosplay then I recommend FDM printers due to their durability.
What resin printer do you recommend for a newbie? I have a creality ender 3 now but want to move to resin Thanks and great channel with great content and tips.
Thanks! I started off with the Mars Pro, but it was kinda small. Then I went to the Anycubic Photon Mono X, as it is bigger. I know have 2 of them. Also, look at the Elegoo saturn. Those are good ones.
It was all printed in resin. It was painless if thats what you ask. lol I had to split the base in two to get it to fit on the build plate but it came out nice.
I just got a Molotow refill and I'm planning on running it through my airbrush soon. Do you clean it out with water afterwards, or do I need to run a solvent through it?
I wouldn't use water. Try using either a thinner or denatured alcohol. Water will clot it up in the airbrush. You don't need to thin the paint though. It should pass through the airbrush fine.
Amazing. I guess I am dating myself, but would always love the UZI for Snake.....

This is actually better compared to the movie.
Thanks. I've yet seen the movie myself
Dude so envious of your skills.
I appreciate that!

Fantastic job. I love how it's basically a black statue but everything stands out and you can still see all the little details!
Thank you sir!
Looks boss, great work!
Appreciate it!
great video's . but would like to see more of printing and building the models thanks
Noted! Thanks for watching!
The painting is amazing good job
Thanks!
wish I could find a model of him. good job.
Check with Megs Empinado on Facebook. Hes the artist and is selling the file.
They sell re-fill bottles for the moltov pens. You should buy one of those instead. If you want to spray it.
Yeah that's what I normally get but the store was out of them.
wow you look really amazing!
Well....the statue does, but I don't know about me. lol
@The Creative Collector haha lool!😂
awesome. i bought that file as well and now you've inspired me to paint it.
Go for it!
Where do you find the file?
Awesome video, Snake Eyes came out great!! 😁👍 new sub…
sick!
Thanks!
Looks great! Lots of really great tips and tricks here. Nice work man!
Thanks a ton!
Dame that's bad ass
Great video. That fur looks amazing
Thanks man!
Nice
Thanks
Oh, wow! I've never tried spraying the dark steel. It looks completely different from when it's brushed on. 😮
It looks better in person. All of those mecha colors do.
@@TheCreativeCollector I wish more places sold them. After my local hobby town closed. The only place I can get them is Amazon (

I dont have a community discord but you can join my Facebook group if you like
Can't find the STL files. Really want to print this badass
Look up Megs Empinado on Facebook. He's the designer.

That's about right. I printed mine in 1/5 scale and it was around 18 inches tall

Where can I download the STLs for the GI Joe models? I looked up the artist, can't find anywhere to buy them.
You'll have to message him directly. He's kinda slow at getting back to you but will eventually.
Do you have a link or something to find him for the joe files? I want to make sure i find the right person
Try Megs Empinado. He's the artist
Hi Sir, Do you put a topcoat over chrome? Thank you for the tutorial. loved it.
Hello Ann. No I don't. If you put a clear coat on it, it'll dull the finish. Thanks for watching!
What do you think of resin printers. Are they better? I use a fillment printer. Should I get a resin printer?
If you're looking to capture details then resin printing is the way to go. If you're doing cosplay then I recommend FDM printers due to their durability.
@@TheCreativeCollector I want to do figures and statues that’s my pain goal. Like the stuff you put out. Would they look better
What is the dry time for the Molotov markers
To be honest it takes days.
Would the chrome pen leave streaks if used as is?
It might. I've used the pen itself on small areas, but always airbrushed it on bigger parts.
How do you orient blades when 3d printing to get the best results
Most of the time I print them straight up or slightly bent with a couple of extra supports on the bottom.
What resin printer do you recommend for a newbie? I have a creality ender 3 now but want to move to resin Thanks and great channel with great content and tips.
Thanks! I started off with the Mars Pro, but it was kinda small. Then I went to the Anycubic Photon Mono X, as it is bigger. I know have 2 of them. Also, look at the Elegoo saturn. Those are good ones.
@@TheCreativeCollector photon mono x it is! Thanks again for all you do for the community 😎👍🏼
How was the printer process?
It was all printed in resin. It was painless if thats what you ask. lol I had to split the base in two to get it to fit on the build plate but it came out nice.
@@TheCreativeCollector yeah it seem like the wolf may be hard to print out n figure out the supports to get the best details on it .

I wouldn't use water. Try using either a thinner or denatured alcohol. Water will clot it up in the airbrush. You don't need to thin the paint though. It should pass through the airbrush fine.
Which printer did you use for this?
I used the Linant Base printer.
I thought it might be, do you find less lines in the prints over the anycubic and Elegoo?
I do. I love this printer. It's a tad more expensive but I'm super impressed with it.
Dang! dis looks sick af
U selling them?
Sorry. I don't sell my statues at the moment.
Looks awesome...could you give me the name of the creator...would love to have it
The designer is Megs Empinado. He's on Facebook and Instagram.
Did you purchase the file on facebook? If not where can I purchase it...looks like he's not responding to comments
Yes. I found him in one of the Facebook 3D printing groups. He usually answers pretty quickly.
were to find the liqid chrom pen u used for the swrod
Hobby Lobby, Michael's, Amazon. It's called Molotow Chrome
