PLEASE NOTE THAT  MMF WON'T LET ME UPLOAD LARGE FILES WITHOUT TIMING OUT AND REFUSE TO HELP AND THINGIVERSE'S [DOWNLOAD_ALL] IS BROKEN, SO IF YOU WANT THE FULL FILE SET FOR THIS MODEL, PLEASE CHECK OUT THE MIRROR ON CULTS3D HERE: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/trigger-happy-from-skylanders-swap-force   I enjoy playing the Skylanders games and have the massive collection of figures to prove my obsession. My most favorite character, though, has GOT to be Trigger Happy. I have wanted to 3d print my own ever since I first got into 3d printing, but I could never find any models and my modeling ability was sorely lacking - as in non-existent. That was three years ago and I have been teaching myself how to use blender. I finally decided that it was time to try recreating Trigger Happy myself and I used the Swap Force figure as my source. When I printed him, I scaled the model up by 150%. I included a photo of the original along side the print so you can see the size difference at that scale. I separated the model into three different pieces to not only make printing easier, but painting as well. The base, I printed on an FDM Tevo Tarantula in PLA, painted in flat black Krylon primer/paint combo and added the silvering with a product I found called Rub-N-Buff. The bomb was hollowed and printed in Elegoo resin on an Elegoo Mars then primed with the same flat black Krylon primer/paint combo before being over-coated with some off brand gloss gold spray paint I've had for decades. Trigger himself was hollowed and printed on the Mars 2, then airbrushed using Plaid FolkArt acrylic paints with details added with a brush using the same acrylic paints. Everything was sealed with a coat or three of Krylon matte finish clear coat. Any of the three C's [comments, criticisms or compliments] are welcome.

In case anyone is curious as to why there is a hot pepper embossed into most of my designs... My nickname is Pepper and that little pepper logo is a hell of a lot shorter than "Copyright © 2017 by Derek J.G.
