Hi guys, thought I'd quickly post this here. The Werechihuahua was painted using a bronze / metal based paint, which reacts the same way real metal does to a patina, in this case, I used antique black.
Paint first, then paint or spray over with the patina, in a little while, the model will oxidize black. Normally, you could just buff it back to reveal the shiny bronze, but that would take more coats to ensure you dont rub back to the PLA, so in this case, I just dry brushed over the high points with more bronze paint.
Take a look here:

Took me forever to do this. And it is still rougher than I would have liked. 3D concept rendering: Finished piece:

I just finished this. It was a multi-part print for ease of painting. Some of it I am not sure what happened...but hey, it is purty....And, I am unanimous in that ? Test Render Parts

Bath interferometers. I have made about 20 of these for people who use them to test their telescope mirrors. They are amazingly accurate and can do better than a $40,000 Zygo PSI optical tester. Th

Awesome thanks! Have you printed it yet? I am totally excited to see your last print, I literally today just received 3 spools of filament from ColorFab and one of them is White, the other two are Traffic Red and XT. I saw a lot of really nice finishes with the XT material so I figured I would give it a shot. I'm finally glad to have something at least tangible! The wait is killing me but, It will be all the sweeter when my UM2 does finally arrive in the mail I suppose.
