Some ships and a submarine or two

Here are a couple of 3D-printed ships and boats from 3D-Print-Terrain.

 Their models are scaled for 20mm gaming but I upscale them to 130% to fit my 28mm games.

That periscope is seriously to big, but I let it be for now. I might change it later, if I'm going to use the sub form ore than a scenario or two

Finally Proteus, a free download from Thingiverse. That will be used as an evil overlord's get-away in a pulp game.

Paddle Steamer

Here’s a large piece for a Pulp Alley game. I just have to paint some small pieces to get that on the table.

It will work in an Old West setting also, I’m thinking a shoot-out on a limited space.

It’s 3D-printed and the files come from 3D-Print-Terrain and their ACW-kickstarter from a while back.

I had to fix the stl-files to get something printable, as there were some faults in the files and the paddle-wheel were not very good as it was. That I had to de-construct and modify a bit. Turned out well enough in the end.

I'm thinking about printing one of the even bigger paddle-wheelers for a truly spectacular Wild West shoot-out.

Mosque

Another building, a mosque, from 3D-Print-Terrain and their Arabic Buildings kickstarter.

It’s printed with .15 mm layer height, and took something like 90 hours to print in total.

I think this one looks just great, and it will look even better on the table-top.

The only downside is the interior. I would really have liked to have a stair between the floors.

Two Arab shops

These two shops come from 3D-Print-Terrain’s Arabic Buildings kickstarter, now available as an add-on in Jens’ kickstarters, or from his shop.

They are made on my Prusa i3 Mk 3, with 0.1 mm layer thickness. Each took about 21 hours to print. The big door-ways are a bit of a hassle, as they are too broad to support the filament during printing, resulting in quite a lot of sagging filament that I had to cut away.  

These buildings will come in very handy in my upcoming Pulp Alley Tomb of the Serpent campaign, and I have an idea of painting one or two for my zombie-games set in Sweden. Just use more colours and put a suitable sign on them.

Arab houses

These are the first and second batches of 3D-printed Arab houses. These will see action in WWII North Africa, Pulp Alley and 7TV. Some of them have already served on a desert planet.

They come from 3D-Print-Terrain and different Thingiverse free files, and are painted with structure paints.

I’ve got some more houses nearly finished, and then I'll use them all in the next installment of my Pulp Alley campaign. Looking forward to that.

Then I will print a lot more Arabic houses for my solo Pulp Alley campaign, most of them from 3D-Print-Terrain.

If you like these you might have a look at 3D-Print-Terrain’s latest kickstarter, where you find lots of Arabic houses, and you can also pledge for his older campaigns (like this one for modern houses and this one for houses suitable for North Africa and WWII (where a lot of these come from)) But hurry, as it closes tomorrow!

3D-printed houses for Rangers of Shadow Deep and other games

It’s been awfully quiet here, as it’s been summer and I’ve had a bit of a blogging burn-out. I think I’m more or less back on track now, so there will be more posts coming soon.

Here are some buildings I printed during the last couple of weeks. I made them for the first scenario of Rangers of Shadow Deep, so now I will have an opportunity to try that game out.

This, the biggest house, is made by Printable Scenery, and is called Winterdale Small Cottage. You can buy that as it is, or as part of a fantasy building bundle. The latter seem to be on sale at the moment, so it might be a good idea to check that out if you’re interested. A couple more of those buildings are in the printing queue, so you might see more of that soon.

 

Anyway, this is really the nicest of the lot, with lots of details and lots of character. A great kit.

Next up is Small Medieval House from Thingiverse. A bit more basic, but a nice little kit. Can’t complain about the price, as free is hard to beat.

 

The Little Cottage is another Thingiverse model, also free. I really like it as it is well detailed, and it has the option of inserting a piece of transparent plastic sheet as window glass. Great model.

 

Finally we have a hut from 3D-print-terrain and their Age of Pirates set. It’s rather simple and crude, but prints very fast and will see use both in fantasy, pulp and other settings. A really useful model.

I’m really happy with how these turned out.

Next, there’s a bunch of desert style buildings that I’ve finished. But more on those in a future post.

3D-printed Barracks from 3D-Print-Terrain

Less than a week left before Gothcon, and we’re working furiously to finish terrain and soldiers for our Storm over Haag Chain of Command game.

I'm working with houses and canals.

Here are two barracks from 3D-Print-Terrain and their World at War part II kickstarter, which you can still get at Jens’ webshop.

Several barracks were under construction at the Ypenburg Airport when Germany invaded in May 1940. These two are erected, and one isn’t quite finished yet, as the paint is still wet.

These Commander Barracks were printed with 130% size, 0.15mm layer height on my Prusa i3 MK3. Printing time around 20 hours for each body and slightly less for the roofs.

I had to fix the chimneys as they ended quite abruptly in a flat surface, but that was easily fixed with some green-stuff and a piece of plastic tube.

3D-printed windmill from 3D-Print-Terrain

An old lady on a 25mm base, as size comparison.

I’m furiously building, printing and painting terrain for our Storm over Haag Chain of Command participation game for Gothcon this Easter.

It will be Fallshirmjäger trying to secure the airport of Ypenburg. We have checked maps and after-action reports in an effort to build the north-eastern part of the defences.

On my lot fell printing of this windmill and a couple of barracks (on the painting table now), as well as building all the canals.

So, here’s the first finished piece, a windmill that pumped water just outside the perimeter. It comes from the World at War II kickstarter, and can be bought from Jens’ webshop as part of a bundle. It is originally scaled for 20mm gaming, but easily upscaled to 28mm.

Unpainted on the painting table.

I’m also building a small hill with culverts to put it on. But that’s not finished yet.
