Trial and Error

Airbrushed on the final copper paint.
One of the final cast of the bases. Turned out pretty great this time around with little to no bubbles.
All cleaned up with primer. 
I guess my kitty (Moss) likes watching resin dry. I don't blame him. It's flippin awesome.

After the print is finished, it is time to give the resin a 90-proof isopropol alchohol bath. This removes any uncured resin from the model.
It is stuck to the platform, I use a spatula to scrape it off.
One of the failed prints. A little adjustment on how  the bust attached to the support structures made all the difference.
The Ferengi attached to the platform completed. The first version of this model failed on me, so I was happy to see this one come out good.
Print is done and is being suspended by magic, and maybe some resin support structures.

Sending off a print, we got a laptop permanently attached to the printer at my desk.
