Overview Link to section: Overview

I printed, assembled, and hand-painted this collection of display props inspired by the game Rust.

The set includes a satchel, pickaxe, storage chest, Eoka (a gun-shaped game item), bone knife, and miniature rocket.

Paint gives the printed pieces their different surfaces: brown straps and handles, dark metal details, and lighter bone-colored areas. These are nonfunctional display replicas.

Pieces in the collection Link to section: Pieces in the collection

Piece Details
Satchel Raised straps, loops, and cylindrical details; tan body with dark brown and black accents
Storage chest Printed chest with a hand-painted finish
Pickaxe Contrasting colors for the handle and head
Eoka Tan curved handle, dark barrel-shaped detail, and wrapped section
Bone knife Light blade with a brown wrapped handle
Miniature rocket Dark body, red tip, and open tail details

The separate furnace lamps add warm lighting to the same family of props.

The satchel started as a white print, with the folds, raised straps, loops, and top details already built into the shape.

Separating the surfaces with paint Link to section: Separating the surfaces with paint

I painted the body tan, the straps dark brown, and the smaller details black. Those color changes make the straps and fittings stand out from the body. The gallery shows the same prop before and after painting.

Painting and surface details Link to section: Painting and surface details

I used contrasting colors across the smaller pieces:

  • Bone knife: a light blade and a brown wrapped handle.
  • Eoka: a tan grip with a dark barrel and wrapped detail.
  • Miniature rocket: a red tip contrasting with the dark body and open tail.

The print texture remains visible beneath the paint, especially around edges and recessed details (areas set below the surrounding surface).
