My project was to print and paint a life-size Deadpool myself. I bought the model online. Everything was glued with a special adhesive for plastics. The seams were filled with fibreglass filler, then sanded by hand. Acrylic primer, then hand-painted with acrylics. It is now finished and stands in my home cinema.

Christian lives in Bavaria, Germany. He prints on a Bambu Lab P2S, in PLA, PETG and ABS. Four weeks of work in all, printing, filling, sanding and painting included.
