 For the final version, they have been printed using LW-TPU, without any infill, with 2-3 outlines (need to check). They then recieved a grey primer (Vallejo, 2 layers) and then were painted black(using Vallejo air black, again 2-3 layers). Finally they recieved 2-3 layers of glossy varnish. I used an airbrush for all of the paint layers. For the final version, they have been printed using LW-TPU, without any infill, with 2-3 outlines (need to check).
