Painting an EPIC Maleficent 3D Print with Custom LED Lighting!

Learn how to paint this magnificent 3D printed Maleficent figurine using a classic animation-inspired color scheme and custom-wired LED lighting for an incredible glowing effect! From resin settings to advanced airbrushing, I'm breaking down the entire build process. I’m back in the studio with a massive collaboration project! This week, I’m working on a stunning Maleficent sculpture from the Trick-or-Treat Patreon. I decided to go with her iconic pale green skin tone from the original Disney cartoon rather than the modern renders to give her that classic, menacing look. I’ll show you how I integrated green LEDs into the transparent resin flames and a custom brass cylinder staff to make this model truly stand out. ⭐ If you enjoyed this build, please Like and Subscribe to R2-3D for more 3D printing and miniature painting tutorials! ⭐ Support the artist: Check out Trick-or-Treat on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/cw/TrickorTreat3D 0:00 - Introduction & Project Overview 0:42 - 3D Printing Settings & Hidden Supports 1:04 - Custom LED Staff & Magnet Integration 1:40 - Painting the Base: Dry Brushing & Texturing 2:48 - Wiring the Green LED Flames 4:20 - Zenithal Highlighting for the Figure 5:01 - Painting Classic Maleficent Skin Tones 8:08 - Detailing the Dress & Satin Finishes 9:15 - Painting the Face: Lips & Eyes 12:53 - Finishing Touches: Jewelry & Varnishing 15:20 - The Final Reveal ⭐ R2-3D on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/r2_3d.me/ ⭐Printer used: Uniformation GK3 Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3Zjb3bS ⭐️I encourage you to go look up more about Elegoo and their products here on Amazon.
