How do you store or display your finished game model prints? Do you paint them, leave them raw, or use any special finishing techniques like sanding or resin coating?
Most of my finished prints end up on a simple floating shelf above my desk, raw resin with just the supports removed, because I like seeing the layer lines as proof it came from a machine. I’ve got a few boxes of STL Files waiting in my folder that I haven’t even started, and for the larger models I do paint, I sand with 400-grit then hit them with a matte clear coat—no resin coating yet, though I’ve seen it makes details pop. Don’t overthink display; a cheap acrylic case from a craft store keeps dust off, and if you paint, start with one cheap brush and thin layers so you don’t lose the tiny armor grooves. Rotate what you show every few months—keeps the hobby feeling fresh without needing more shelf space.
