Having fun with 3D printed figures

I used to paint when I was much younger and seeing a lot of great figures online begging to be 3D printed, it made me want to try painting again. 

It's one thing to print the figures but they just look better in color.  The good thing is that I don't need a very expensive printer to put color on my prints. I just need to dust off a skill I haven't used in a long time. :)

These prints are rough since they've been printed at a low resolution for quick prints while I try out how well it can be painted. It looks like acrylic is best for this purpose.  Water based and dries fast.

Knight (I better get a finer brush)

Batman bust - My nephew asked me to print a batman bust.  I took pictures before I gave it to him :)
  

 Faceless - Not bad for a small print.

Ahhh... I really missed this.  There's something about painting that is just so relaxing and satisfying. I think I'll be doing more of this again.  :)
