This latest offering is from Mel Miniatures and it's an alternative take on the Gauntlet Fighter. It's smaller and more detailed and I feel it is a better design than the official model. However it also hides a secret in plain sight.
It was decided for this particular commission to try a 3D print using a lower quality material, specifically Multi Jet Fusion Plastic Black PA12. In some ways this is a marked improvement over cheaper options but in others it might be worse. The bottom half was fairly nicely detailed but had a somewhat rough surface. However the top half, while decently smooth, also lacked a lot of definition in the finer details.
Instead of being discouraged, I decided to treat is as a challenge and forged on. I had to painstakingly enhance and sometimes recreate nearly non existent details using nothing but highlights and shade. I'm going to shamelessly claim that I actually managed to do a pretty good job. As always, enjoy!
