Basic painting guide & tips

All of our 3D printed terrain should be ready to use right out of the box, no assembly required (unless noted). Of course, it will look a lot better on the battlefield with some color! To get you started, here are some tips on how to eliminate print lines and prepare your model(s) for painting.

Application of primer before painting helps to mask lines left from the printing process and allows paint to adhere properly. We strongly recommend using a filler primer which is formulated specifically to conceal minor surface imperfections, though any primer that is deemed safe on plastic should do just fine. Regardless, be sure to follow the directions provided on the product of your choice, waiting the recommended drying time between coats. When leaving your project out to dry for extended periods, please be advised that direct sunlight or extreme heat may begin to warp or melt plastic over time.
