We built the Prototype Shingen Mark V in real life 

almost like they got the 3D files from the DEVs

Imagine if it was lmaooooo

They have an airbrush? they literally used it in the video. Mate you're telling profession cosplayers and prop makers things they already know.

@@Maegnas99 If they "know" why would they use rattle cans for 99.99% of it? Sorry I didn't watch the 2 seconds at the end of the vid. The second part of my comment still stands.

Some of the pistol chassis kits kinda look like this. Think of the flux raider, that could be modded easy. Or just fosscad around a 10/22; those are small enough to make it functional in anything.

I'd reckon it would be mostly functional but the magazine and feeding would be the only difficult section to design

Sounds like you have a lot of experience with 3D printed props. The actual printing process makes up far less than 70% of the job, even if you already have the files.

Just running a FDM 3D printer is an endeavour , let alone a Resin Printer . By now I'm sure they have fine-tuned theirs and know them in and out , but there's a metric shit ton of things you have to take into consideration for your print to be successful . Resin printing is more akin to sorcery than anything else ... Even if you have a 3D model , you still need to separate it into smaller pieces that fit your print bed , in a way that's also well-thought-out for assembly later , then you need to slice your file for it to be readable by your Printer . It's not just a matter of slapping a raw 3D model on a USB stick and expecting a good print to come out of it . Especially since a video game asset is not modelled with 3D printing in mind . Then you have the post-processing . Yeah , with resin prints it takes less time , but only AFTER you've cleaned your prints with IPA and cured them under a UV light , whereas FDM prints are ready to be worked on straight out of the printer . Obviously Lightning is a real professional and perfectionist , so there's going to be a lot of sanding involved to get rid of all the layer lines ( yes they still exist on resin prints ) and especially the seam lines between two pieces , which can be tricky to get rid off , knowing that even a micron of wiggle room will mean your paint layers will crack at that very spot later . Should I go on , or do you understand why 3D printing actually involves a lot of work, especially for such clean and perfect results ?

@@Tomcat_Coyote exactly 🙏 thank you for explaining. People always think 3D printing is easy or that it’s even cheating 😂 but they never worked with a 3D file that is not made for 3D printing and never had to remodel parts and separate the whole thing into pieces and find the perfect printing settings for each piece. There goes SO much work into this.
