OpenLOCK Cut-Stone Square Door Released!
Added 2017-03-17 14:18:17 +0000 UTCNext up from the voting booth, we've got the first set of doors for our openlock sets. It was a tossup between the arched and the square doors so I decided to start with the square doors. I'm still sort of determining the best way to translate what's getting voted for to what to work on, and my current approach is to toggle back and forth between something from the tiles, and something from the ideas. I think it's working out pretty well, but let me know in the comments if you have a strong opinion one way or the other.
As per usual, if you have not signed up, be sure to sign up for the openforge backer site and vote for what you want to see!

Just realized that when I responded on my phone, it didn't thread the responses on your message. Just pinging here to make sure you saw the responses.

2017-03-19 14:28:36 +0000 UTCI'll consider doing a video. It's a bit harder to get good lighting in my garage for it. It's the painting technique I've been using from the start with the openlock tiles. I kinda try to mix things up with a new paint style or technique for every set.

2017-03-19 14:27:24 +0000 UTCThe design of this door is very nice...a castle interior door look. I tried that spray painting technique at one stage with limited success. I'll have to give it another go! Cheers!

2017-03-19 01:11:14 +0000 UTCFor spray paints you do want paints that bond to plastic. Krylon makes a great series of ultra flat spray paints in their camouflage line, which is what I use for flat black (and it's great for miniatures as well). For the grey and white I use Rust-Oleum 2x paint and primer, which has special plastic bonding. You can use that for black as will but be sure to get flat black

2017-03-17 15:10:24 +0000 UTCPrinted in PLA on a home made Prusa i3. Painting is using my fast painting method. First I spray paint with a flat black and will generally give it two coats to make sure I get full coverage. Second for the stone parts I take a grey flat spray paint and I'll hold it further back at a 45 degree angle and do very short bursts. This is to not fully cover the black, and leave it in all the crevices, and under overhangs. Third I'll do the same with a flat white at more like a 90 degree angle, with very short bursts. Aiming to get a highlight dusting on the top edges of bricks and such. All of the above can be done with an air brush, it's referred to as zenifold highlighting. For the wood, I'll take the piece that is primed in flat black and give it good coverage with a dark brown like burnt umber. Then take a second pass with a brush that I have wiped off most paint with a lighter brown like raw sienna. Finally I'll dry brush with a light brown like honey brown. I use Americana craft paints for this part. You can see pictures of the wood painting in progress on the thingiverse thing for the docks I released last week.
