I am thinking of opening store on www.cgtrader.com or something similar...
As printing and casting requires time that I rather spend sculpting

That would be ace! I’m sure it would be popular.

It will be great to see these girls available for printing and painting.

Still planning the Army Nurse next?

So here is the thing, I have "earned" 26$ from the first 3 busts in "collection". Which is absolutely silly and not worth the trouble.
In other hand, I am glad that at least someone will print them and paint them. Heck, they are already sculpted, so why not
Couple of hours for preparing the prints ? Well, there is a lot of ways to waste the time, at least preparing the prints is kind of fun

In other words, I decided to continue, this one should be next.
But since I am new at this, and this one is more complicated than first 3, should I break the print into few pieces ?
When preparing for casting, breaking into pieces is a "must". I have no idea what is "common" for clean prints ???
At least separate hands and "microphone" ?
Anyone has some advice ?

Yes separate hands and microphone will definitely help, and either separate the head or the right arm to make it easier to paint the face. The headphone wires will also be a problem, maybe have them attached to separate earphones? Or leave them off altogether and allow the modeller to make them from wire?

 

[pokrad]

I'll leave the wires off, there is only a "hole" in the microphone and earphones where it should be attached. Printing the wire would be a nightmare, and it would probably break...
Thanks for tips

Glad to see you are continuing with this one.

You’ve done the right thing breaking it down. Much better for printing and if your going to traditional cast it’s a must. Do you print solid or hollow ? I know we have solid prints much better for the casting process.

Your subjects are interesting and they should do well for you .

I tried hollow before, but hollowing has it's problems. Depending on printer and the thickness, the print could collapse or deform. And in the end if You are casting You probably have to fill the hole.
So I decided it's not worth the risk

This one is prepared for printing, but I am cut out off my CgTrader account due some technical problems.
Support on CgTrader is slow, and 3 e-mails during 5 days did not resolve the issue yet.
Hope I'll be able to upload this one soon

I finally got on top of my account
