Topic: Orc Shaman - 28mm scale

I haven't been printing anything since I finished the Clementine diorama, but that changed last weekend, when I fond a very cool little model of an Orc Shaman on My Mini Factory.  The model is highly detailed and it's small, really small, 28mm scale to be exact.  From the bottom of the base to the top of the staff it's only 1.625".

I originally printed it at 0.1mm resolution, which is what I print most of my models, but while it looked OK, I wanted to see if 0.025mm would bring out more detail, and it did.  After 4:30 hours of print, I got this little guy. 

To get a sense of scale, the image on the left shows it standing on a quarter.  After the print, I [rimed it with Vallejo white primer.

And today, being that I had nothing better to do on my day off, I finished painting it.

the little tuft of "grass" between his feet is nice touch. what did you use for that?

Re: Orc Shaman - 28mm scale

Those are available from Citadel.  They come in a variety of sizes, and are self adhesive.  Just take them off the backing paper and stick them on the base.

I also used some grass between the tufts.  You can buy all kinds of materials from grass lichens, rocks, dirt, tufts, even artificial snow.

Anyway, the process of decorating the base to add realism is called flocking.
