First post here as an r/dicemaking refugee, glad this place has a similar community!
So I've got a friend who is both a standard nerd and is also deep into Harry Potter. I've had the idea to make them a set of four d20's, each with coloring and patterns appropriate to the Hogwarts Houses, and maybe make a wooden/3d printed stand to display them on.
The biggest problem I'm currently facing is how the heck to get a bronze color/effect for Ravenclaw out of ink and mica powder, but I'm also open to any other generic style ideas.
I managed to embed two 35mm scale figures inside without much issue. While I was letting bubbles shake out from the mold on my vibration table, I sacrificed an old brush to brush extra resin onto the models to prevent bubbles being stuck in the details.
I got a buddy to print about 60-ish tiny (~15mm in length) swords for a Battlemaster Fighter dice set. I'm playing about with paint schemes and also testing density.
Underpainting is first painting numbers in a color that doesn't distract from the color of the translucent dice. This prevents the color used in the numbers from visually "bleeding" from the other facets.
The d12 is underpainted in silver, the d8 isn't.
It also allows this set to have copper numbers with an ice blue die.
