Crafting a Hunter Mech with LEDs & Kaleido Colorworks Auto paint

Описание: Full build of a 3D printed mech figurine with LED eyes, from digital sculpting in ZBrush to hand-painted metallic finish using Kaleido Colorworks paints.
Meet HUND - a racing hunter built for the Venatoria, Solaria's mech sport where you hunt and finish first, or you lose. Every estate competes through their machines. Sleek lines, low stance, eyes that never miss.
I designed this hunter mech from scratch, sculpted it in ZBrush, cleaned up topology in TopoGun, and 3D printed it on my Formlabs Form 4 using Grey V5 resin. The entire post-processing and painting was done using only Gaahleri products. I wanted to test if their Kaleido Colorworks line could handle a complete build from primer to sealer.
The process: hand sanding, priming, linear sander for a smooth finish, then airbrushing base colors before masking and building up the purple metallic paint. The LED eyes connect via a magnetic battery enclosure I designed, a much cleaner solution than my first attempt at hiding electronics in 3D prints.
Transparency: Gaahleri sent me these paints and airbrushes to test. This is not a paid video, all opinions are my own.
