This week we are looking at how to quickly fill your dioramas and scenes with minis. I often have to do loads of figures for a scene and I have been slowly getting my process faster and faster. I am sharing the tips I use to quickly print and paint minis. I will do a follow up video on how to paint minis using other quick methods that work well for me.
Thanks to Elegoo who provided the Mars 3 – I already have a Mars and I love this little printer so much! It’s a 4K mono screen and so fast which is perfect for this video!

Nice work Kathy.
Resin printing for Mini's is the way to go. Wish I had one sometimes.
Printing large features and buildings with my FDM printer is still a good option though. 👍

Brilliant yet again Kathy , so informative well done
Fantastic tips Kathy, those quick paints and pens look really useful.
Happy to see you excell in another side of modelling Kathy 😉👍
Excellent tips, thank you and well done for such an easy-to-follow video.
Just a comment for the algorithm
My deepest Condolences on the loss of The Queen. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and all the British people.
Thank you.
Awesome film, thanks for featuring our stuff! 😀
Excellent, will be putting some of these into practice for sure. I have a meta-tip for people who work similarly to me: When batch-painting, jump around models very often. I tend to hyper-focus on details if I'm working on one object… switching reminds me of the overall context and makes it more likely I'll actually do a speed paint and not fall back into obsessiveness. Saves a lot of time 🙂
