Chainsaw Man statue, painted at 1/6 scale

Most resin statue projects stop at a clean grey print, and even when someone finishes a piece, the sculpting and the painting usually come from different hands. This build takes a model from another designer, splits the printing between a GK3 Ultra and a Saturn 4, and then every brushstroke is the maker's own work at 1/6 scale. That mix of an outsourced sculpt with fully personal paint is rarer than it should be, and here it clearly pays off.



The figure stands atop the severed head of a devil, with chainsaw blades extending from the helmet and both forearms. Translucent red splash effects are attached to simulate dripping blood, which gives the pose a frozen moment of violence. The base is sculpted as a split purple monstrous head, complete with exposed internal tissue, a blue tongue, uneven teeth, two prominent veined eyeballs and a broken stone rim.



The paintwork is where this piece separates itself from the usual. The figure wears a blood-stained white shirt, black necktie, black trousers and white and red sneakers. There is metallic texturing on the mechanical helmet, glossy finishes on the gore elements, and painted fabric highlights on the clothing. The finished statue was shown on a workbench in front of racks of paint bottles and brushes, which fits a piece this involved.



One thread is still open. The maker has said their builds keep getting bigger, and that they have never tried sculpting with green stuff and have never worked on minis. Moving from painting other designers' sculpts to shaping their own additions is the obvious next question for a skill set like this.


The translucent red splash effects are the choice I keep coming back to. Attached splash pieces turn a static standing pose into a captured action beat, and on a 1/6 scale figure there is room for the drips to read properly. The trade-off is that translucent resin tends to show layer lines and needs a very clean cure to stay glassy, so the finish on those pieces says a lot about the print quality underneath.

I am curious how the print run was divided between the two machines. Was the GK3 Ultra used for the large parts like the base head while the Saturn 4 handled the figure, or was it something else? A split like that would explain the size of the project, but I have not seen the actual division spelled out anywhere.

The maker has not said how the work was split between the two printers. All that is known is that the statue was printed on both a GK3 Ultra and a Saturn 4. Your guess about large parts versus the figure is a sensible one, but it would be speculation rather than something the maker has confirmed, so I would not repeat it as fact.

Since the maker has said they have never tried sculpting with green stuff, this base seems like the perfect place to start. The broken stone rim on it could be repaired or extended with a hand-sculpted chunk, and small tissue details around the split head are low risk because they sit among already messy gore elements. It would be a gentle first step into shaping their own additions without betting the whole figure on it.
