Thanks Eyeone.
And thanks for the kind words about my work on the replicas and minis. It take quite some time to get one made. There's maybe around 60 hours put in the 3D modeling, 40 hours in the cleaning of the 3D print to get it smooth, and then about two days of painting but that's because you have to wait between the various coats. So, a lot of hours in total. The price to print them is above 1000$, Q9 was the most expensive of the four I did. But with this technique, it's impossible to lower the price as they don't charge less because you print more.
I have no plans to do extras as it require some time and I honestly don't have much time and I would like that it stays a hobby and not a constraint.
