Plague Doctor

A 3D printed3D printing is the construction of physical objects from a digital 3D model file, using a machine called a 3D printer. Plague Doctor Alchemist painted a glow effect around the lantern.

This mini was 3D printed on my Anycubic Photon S with Anycubic UV resin.

This mini started out a bit messy, but turned out really well, in my opinion. I did some messy layeringLayering is the technique of creating a smooth blend between colors by using multiple layers slightly thinned paint and shrinking each layer to create a smooth transition between colors. to highlight the clothes and equipment. It wasn’t going the best, but adding the glow effect around the lantern (called Object-Source Lighting, or OSLObject source lighting, or OSL, is the technique of strategically placing color highlights to give the impression that the miniature is either lit by a light source or is itself emitting light.) really improved the look and tied everything together.

Printing this mini was a disaster, however. It was a test print, after tweaking my settings on my 3D printer. The shaft of the cane broke off, which I replaced with 1mm metal wire. The lantern broke off and had to be glued back on. The lower half of his cane-holding arm printed badly, so it was re-sculpted with some Green Stuff. Finally, the feather broke off after painting and also had to be glued back on. Needless to say, this mini will be handled as delicately as possible from now on.

The base was fun to make. It was a LITKO 1-inch base, covered in Green Stuff, then rolled with a brick-pattern rolling pin.

Overall, I’m very proud of the OSLObject source lighting, or OSL, is the technique of strategically placing color highlights to give the impression that the miniature is either lit by a light source or is itself emitting light., especially since it was completely done by hand without using an airbrush.
