Terrain for Feudal Japan

Some terrain pieces for feudal Japan: Koi Fish Pond and Shinto Shrine.

FDM prints, STLs from the "Nippon Saga" Kickstarter campaign.

 

AvP: The hunt begins/Bug Hunt Corridors - the final section

Michi has scratchbuilt the missing crossing section for one of the ten scenario layouts of Aliens versus Predator: The hunt begins. The cardboard floorplans which came with the game were replaced by 3D sections made of lasercut plywood (Bug hunt corridors kits by now defunct Fantasy Arc from 2014).

Games Workshop made plastic floor tiles for Necromunda which Michi used to turn into airducts for the AvP game. Now Boneshop offers similarly designed lasercut MDF kits to build matching floor tiles with variable surfaces. Michi bought a set and converted it into a square room with a floor grating of Fenris "Sulaco" floor cut into shape.

The walls were painted with the same Revell 55 whitish green that was used for the scratchbuilt plastic airducts, although the weathering was much more intense this time to display a really worn machinery section. Entrances are magnetized and cut to size to match the Bug hunt corridors sections.

 

More Desert Adventures

A few more impressions of the painting and tinkering jobs of the past weeks with the desert adventure theme.

STLs by Red Copper Miniatures, Iain Lovecraft and Goonmaster Games.

Egyptian walls are made from XPS foam and texture rollers.

 

 

Halloween Vibes

A few little tinkering jobs in spooky October to bring a bit of a scary feeling to the gaming table.

 

Torii Gate

A traditional Japanese Torii gate including stone foundation and offering bowls.
3D modeling in Blender by myself, printed with a filament printer.

 

The Cemetery Tree

Small craft project for wargaming in the Wild West. The tree, the mushroom duo and the base are 3D-printed, the fence and crosses are made from balsa wood scraps.

Since I really want to have the two miniatures on the table, but it would be strange to simply place the undertaker and his customer next to the post office building, the saloon or the drugstore, I wanted to quickly make a small, implied cemetery (diameter is just 80mm).

Es ist angerichtet

 

 

 

 

Da steht es, das einladende Abendessen, vor dem Gemütlichkeit verströmenden Eingang einer lauschigen Unterkunft als Bollwerk der Zivilisation in einer ansonsten möglicherweise feindseligen Wildnis: Michi hat endlich das letzte der vier für Congo benötigten Zelte bemalt. Es ist auf einer handelsüblichen Scheckkarte als Sockel aufgebaut worden. 

Sicherlich kann es auch für andere Epochen, Regionen und Zwecke verwendet werden...

 

To boldly go where no man has gone before

Space, the final frontier
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise
Its five year mission
To explore strange new worlds
To seek out new life
And new civilizations
To boldly go where no man has gone before

"The Trouble with Tribbles" was aired in December 1967 and is one of the iconic episodes of the classic Star Trek series. When I stumbled across these 3D models more or less by accident, I was immediately hooked. There are now some very nice designs that also depict the different periods and characters of the franchise.

Basing Bits

Actually just a test, but it turned out nice, didn't it?
I have supported a project on Kickstarter with hundreds of printable 3D models that are suitable to creatively design wargaming bases. Out of this huge amount of data, I printed out a few things for a little test, put them together and then painted them. And I am quite enthusiastic.
The possibilities are endless. There are small stacks of books, skeletons, jars, bottles, lots of plants, small animals, stone formations, etc. etc.. - practically for every genre, for every idea, no matter how whacky, you can find a 3D model in the project. A huge playground for me.

 

 

The Mob Rules!

Concerned citizens, ready for violence and rioting. Always up for a good old witch burning. Blinded by hatred and everything that is not understood.

Ooh, I'm not talking about Covid, I'm talking about 'The Silver Bayonet'.

All models are resin prints, files are available from MyMiniFactory.

 

The Silver Bayonet: The Archaeologist

Lady Leonora Croft, a British archaeologist, has set up camp in the ruins of the Abbey of St. Bernulf somewhere in the forests of Franconia. She wants to get to the bottom of the mystery of the Howling Woman, a local myth. In the woods around the abbey, the apparition of an old woman dressed in black is said to be seen again and again. Anyone who encounters her alone only hears her ghastly screech and then disappears without a trace.
