The Major and Sango Preview
🕑 Added 2022-06-22 19:09:40 +0000 UTCHere's the preview for Ghost in the Shell's The Major and Inuyasha's Sango.
I decided to go with the GitS: SAC 2045 version of The Major.
Sango was commissioned by our very own DoubleDMiniatures.
I haven't had a chance to test print either as I had to buy a new LCD screen. I kinked the connector wire while I was cleaning resin out of my printer case which is all it takes to break them.
Hopefully, my printer will be back up and running after I install the new screen.

I have a photographic memory for shapes and parts. It's an ability of questionable utility but it helps at tracking things down. Am sure I've got an STL somewhere of Ghost in the Shell guns so can change it myself.

I sometimes forget that I'm pretty good at painting and just assume everyone is at my skill level or greater. I like seeing what people come up with regardless of where they are at on their personal painting journeys.

I'm impressed that you recognized that the pistol was based on a 1911. I originally sculpted it for Lara Croft and it made sense for her. I did consider sculpting a new gun for Motoko, but the issue is that such dedication to detail becomes a series of diminishing returns. At 32mm scale, the pistol in question will be about 5mm long. Even printed on an 8k printer it is highly unlikely that you could make out the specific make and model of a pistol on such a tiny figurine.

I see what you mean. GW pistols look like hair dryers. It's the same pistol I used for Lara Croft and Aya Brea. They both printed out ok for me.

Really like the pose on Motoko but would prefer one of her Shirow designed guns than a Colt 1911.

ESavage, I’m working on an Aya and Lara right now and hopefully will get to painting some more soon. Been printing like a mad man. The paint on your models is so good that I’m hesitant to post my garbage but I will soon for sure. The prints have been perfect so far.

Nah the gun should print fine if you have a 4K resin printer.

Nice. Been too used to GW's pistols, so I find the Major's gun a bit too small at first sight ^^ Maybe a bit too thin for printing IDK

I'll have to upload my printed/painted to Instagram and post a link.

I haven't gotten around to painting yet, but I would be more than happy to help with printing. I'm running almost non-stop before next month's con, so sneaking a couple of yours onto a bed aren't an issue

That would be awesome. I've only ever seen one person ever print and paint my miniatures.

I love the way these turned out! I haven't seen this version if the Major, but it just feels right. And I'm sure there are a number of us that would be more than willing to print and send pics/videos of how they turned out. I know I would!

So good!
