Hey everyone,
I’ve always said that 3D printing is only half the battle. The real magic happens when you move from the curing station to the painting booth. Today, I’m excited (and a little nervous) to share the results of my very first "full-color" batch.
Over the last few weeks, my studio has been a whirlwind of airbrush needles, masking tape, and—if I’m being honest—a lot of trial and error. I’ve been working on four iconic characters: Hinata Hyuga, Sarada Uchiha, Tsunade, and Chi-Chi.
The Journey: Airbrushes & Growing Pains
Transitioning from hand-painting to airbrushing was a massive eye-opener. I spent days practicing smooth gradients and learning the hard way that "less is more" when it comes to paint flow. I faced every beginner hurdle in the book:
-
The Masking Struggle: Trying to tape off fine detail areas without pulling up the base coat.
-
The "Clear Coat" Learning Curve: Finding that perfect balance for a protective seal that doesn't drown the detail.
-
The Splutter: Learning exactly how thin the paint needs to be to avoid those tiny, annoying speckles.
The Result: "Beautifully Imperfect"
Because this was a practice run, these figures aren't 100% perfect. You might find a slightly soft edge on a mask line, seams showing, or a small speckle in a gradient that only a perfectionist (me) would notice.
However, they are far too good to toss! They are fully painted, sealed with a professional clear coat, and look incredible on a shelf from a standard viewing distance.
The "Practice Run" Flash Sale
Since these were my learning milestones, I will be offering them at a heavily discounted rate. This is your chance to grab a 9-inch, 1/10 scale hand-painted figure for a fraction of what my future "Master Grade" batches will cost. It’s a great way to support the studio as I upgrade my gear and refine my technique for the next drop.

🍥 Hinata Hyuga – (Boruto)

Thank you all for being part of this journey. Every "mistake" on these figures taught me something that will make the next batch even better. Keep an eye out for this drop!
