1/8 Righteous Kitsune WIP

Jumping into a new project with this figure from Bulkmancer for their painting contest.

Here are all but one of the parts, that last one still needing over night to print.

Now one issue i have run into, and it is in part an issue of my own making technically, is the clear parts. I dont know if i got a bad batch of clear resin or this is one of the limitations of 3d printing but the one clear part turned out on the yellow side (also its not as bad IRL as it is in the photo). So i will see about picking up some clear purple or violet tomorrow as i already needed to get some more primer.

Looks like a fun kit. Not sure why the yellow color on the clear part happened. I have only printed in clear red and blue.

Resin will yellow with age, and clear resin period will yellow even faster. Stands to reason that 3d printer resin would have a similar issue. Assuming of course its not a case of I got some bad resin. Regardless its something I will just have to work around, yeah it would have been nicer to get crystal clear prints, but it is what it is.

Do you think maybe having it sit in sunlight (UV light) might bleach out the yellow? Kind of like dealing with yellowed decals?

Unfortunately no, different chemical reaction at play. The only other option than using a clear purple to cancel out the yellow would be using Retro Brightening. Unfortunately the cost and time frame would be such that it would not be worth it.

Quick assembled shot as I wait for space in my spray booth to open up.
