Haha, dude, that's awesome!! Thanks for the credit. What kind of machine is that??

We've been using this file as a good test file for smaller features, like the studs, and testing the ability to print the bands with no support. Great looking stuff! Will post some finals once we are done.

**Bonus**
We printed some 2d monkeys and threw them inside mid print for "monkeys in a barrel".

Oh, no kidding? I could see these being a good test print, for sure! I have a variant that;s hollow and has a lid. I should really get around to posting it. Haha, monkeys... that's a fantastic idea. Can't wait to see the pics!

Did you sand the model down at all? If not, have you tried? It looks really good.

I haven't actually. I bet that looks good! Post some pics!

Looks great! What paint do you use? Do you have to treat the surface with anything first?

Hey, thanks, man! I primed the barrels with a textured spray paint. I used to use Games Workshop primer, but its so expensive. I found that regular spray paint works just fine, and I prefer textured for non-organics. I think the stuff I used was Rustoleum brand. Thing is, I've hand-painted these things from the ground up, so I know they don't need it. Helps though. 

I'm printing out a couple of these bad boys to apply some paints to tonight!

Awesome! Let me know how they turn out!

Incredible paint job! Really nice work.

Much appreciated!
