What this video covers

SKS Props walks through the painting and weathering process for a 3D-printed Menpo (oni) mask, designed to complement a previously built samurai armor set. The mask was modeled in Nomad Sculpt as a learning exercise and printed in grey PLA on a Bambu H2S. The creator shares the finished result alongside the matching armor and offers the STL file for free download on MyMiniFactory.

Key takeaways

  • Menpo mask was designed in Nomad Sculpt and printed in grey PLA on a Bambu H2S
  • Paint scheme was deliberately matched to an existing samurai armor build for a cohesive look
  • Free STL file is available on MyMiniFactory for anyone wanting to print their own
  • Project was as much about learning 3D modeling as achieving a polished final prop
