Super job Boyd as always. I've had a filament printer for years. lve been eyeing the resin printers for some time now but I know if I pull the trigger my life will never be the same again. Haha. Keep building bud.
Thank you, Chris had only recently gotten into printing himself and was enjoying it. It opens up a whole new world of subjects that you can't find anywhere else. It's a good thing all around.
Oh this is awesome! I haven't seen the movies in a long time. Makes me want to see them again. Those craft acrylic paints are great and so much more affordable than the often ridiculously priced model paints these days. Excellent tribute to Chris. You did him proud with this and he would have loved it.
Thanks, I do think he would have got a kick out of the build. Not only the craft paints save money, after the upfront cost of buying a printer, there's cost saving there too. For example, the resin Nautilus kit's similar in size to the one I printed are all in the $300-$400 range and need a lot of cleanup of the parts. Besides print time, I had $150 total in the model including paint, electronics, glue and the resin and filament I used to print the parts. The parts fit perfectly with no major work needed which is also a big plus. The Cain Statue figure from Chronicle is close to $2K. This kit cost me $25 for the files and about $10 worth of resin and some craft paints. So I'd say if you print several models in a year as I plan to, the printer definitely pays for itself and them some.
@@TrekWorks Wow! I had no idea. I've bought several 3D printed models lately and they were a bit pricey and I've wondered how much they actually cost the sellers to make. I live in a small townhouse with no garage so I wish I could have the room and ventilation to have a printer to make my own. A person could make decent money selling these models if they had several printers. I bought all five "Batteries Not Included" robots recently and they probably cost me around $560. But I'm just glad I could get them. Maybe one day you could make some sales printing kits for people if you could get another printer or two.
This is an Awesome model and and Awesome Build !! Could you do a video on how you went about printing Cain ? how you sized him up in scale ? things to consider when printing out a figure like this as well as the paints used . Love this video !! Great Work !!
I'm glad you like it. there will be a lot of printing, building and painting content in my future videos. There are so many amazing models available that you can't find anywhere else. I really enjoy the printing process as much as the building.
I have a tip for you by the way Bro.,... get a 5" coffee cup warmer so you can mushroom the end of parts, this way your're safe from actually burning the tips of what you're melting, saves the life of your lighters and you can still use it to keep your coffee hot lol but seriously it works I use mine like that all the time when need to, you'll get flat tips doing it that way but they work unless you want a slight rounded end then have your lighter at the ready.
This turned out great Chris would love this build it was a wonderful choose for sure. TPU is a really flex able PLA it will bend just like the solder and comes in different colors as well to use for color pipe
Gorgeous! I never knew Chris but he’s inspired so many. I wonder if classic model kits will slowly give way to the 3D printing trend? BTW - would love to see you tackle a dinosaur kit one day.👍
Printing is opening up a whole new world for this hobby. There are so many subjects out there that just aren't available anywhere else. Contemporary model kit's will still be around a long time but 3D printing will no doubt continue to grow.
I'm going to echo what Big Charlie's Model Garage said.. That's pretty freaking cool. Without a doubt...😊 Now just 10,000 more hours and you can have the city he was standing in when we first say him... 🤣 I'm 4 years out of date model building. What was the glue and light thing you were using? (Please & Thank You) Awesome build, I just don't have the minds eye to see the layering. I have tried on a couple cars and it was not a pretty sight. They ended up back in "Awesome degreeser"... :-( While I can do some washing, just to stuck in the the 60's way of building... Hahaha LLAP 🖖
Glad you like the model Bruce. We're all still learning with each project we work on. The most important thing is just to make it your's and keeping it fun without stressing over it.
If you use the link above to see the website, they list a printing service there. I'm not sure what they charge but other printing services I've seen are around $1.50-$2.00 per hour. This model takes a little over 200 hours to print all the parts.
This is very cool Boyd. I went to the site and I'm a bit confused about the pricing if thats where I ended up....looks like a sale for the site and not the file.
Fantastic build Boyd!! Chris would love this.
Fantastic build Boyd. Really cool. I’m sorry for your loss. Chris sounds like he was an amazing person. 😢
Kain let's step outside
BEHAVE YOURSELVES!!!

Wow outstanding work a build that Chris would had loved again well done.

AWESOME MODEL! Amazing work sirrrrrrrrrr m. 👍❤️
Thanks :)
Chris would get a kick out of this model for sure
Yeah I think he would. His Cylon and Female Predator figures were 2 of my favorites and inspired me for this one.
Way cool Boyd..amazing work as always..Chris would love it
Thank you sir.
Very cool build

Turned out amazing!!!!!
Thanks my friend, I miss the old days of the hangouts with you showing us all of the cool stuff your working on.
@@TrekWorks me too!!!! Those Google Hangouts were great!!! You could always get a group and do a Scifi Model Podcast!
Great tribute to Chris. Looks phenomenal!
An awesome build Boyd! great tips too! never thought of making joint hinges like that before! I bet Chris would have loved this!
Thank you Brian, glad you like it. It was a pleasure to do this for Chris. I hope a group build to remember him will become an annual thing.
@@TrekWorks as do I.
That's pretty freaking cool. 😊
Chris would love it😊
Thanks Charlie, it was a pleasure to take part in this tribute for Chris.

This is a very cool build. Cain is a great figure to build and the 3D printing came out awesome. The completed model is just fantastic.
Thanks Larry
Nice choices between articulation and stability. And holy cow - I love the solder hoses! That really worked out perfectly. Great job!
Thanks, the solder did work well. It was easy to shape and I didn't have to paint it :)
I have a tip for you by the way Bro.,... get a 5" coffee cup warmer so you can mushroom the end of parts, this way your're safe from actually burning the tips of what you're melting, saves the life of your lighters and you can still use it to keep your coffee hot lol but seriously it works I use mine like that all the time when need to, you'll get flat tips doing it that way but they work unless you want a slight rounded end then have your lighter at the ready.
Cool tip I'll remember that :)
The thing I’m most impressed about Cain is that he can spot weld. 😁
Rumor has it that he's reformed and is using his welding skills helping to fix up our great Battleship Texas ;)
This turned out great Chris would love this build it was a wonderful choose for sure. TPU is a really flex able PLA it will bend just like the solder and comes in different colors as well to use for color pipe

Excellent build Mr. Boyd!🙂
For those of us that don't have a printer, how can we get the model kit itself?
Thank you in advance.
