3D-printed TR3 artifacts

[u/Leading_Ad_4594]

Took the plunge this weekend and bought a 3D printer. Whilst my SO has other home decor and functional ideas, I’ve opted for nerdy pursuits starting with these. I also found files for the OG Scion and The Dagger of Xian.

It’s TR-related, but maybe this isn’t the right group to post in. Any help and direction would be hot. I’m rubbish with matching paint colors. I want to be as accurate as possible to the game colors (minus the marbling effects). I know I could have used turquoise PLA, but I know I would have hated them in the long run.

Google AI suggested mixing several blue and green model paints together. Then spray with a gloss finish. Has anyone printed and painted these? What advice would you give?

Thanks for any help you can provide. :)

You should try to get a reference picture from the remaster instead, the 4 artifacts have some patterns painted over them. Would help a lot at having a good start and direction!

edit: edited it the best I could, hope this helps a little bit!

Yea the remasters have pretty good updated versions of the artifacts I used their files to make my Dagger of Xian print!
