Another set of 3d prints from the sculptor known as “MillerBro” from his collection of 1/100 scale (15mm) low detail Buildings.

This one is a pretty nicely detailed building. I considered paiting them in a different scheme and then using a second colour for the window box-frames and the balconies and possibly even the building trim, but then I came to my senses. Just painting in all these windows was quite a trial and caused these buildings to take far longer to paint than I initially expected.

With Flippy in service, I’ll often print more than one of any buildings that seem to fit the “more than one” kind of look to them. Despite being called “barracks”, I thought this sculpt looked like any pretty generic apartment building – or as we’d call them here – “a block of flats”. So totally suitable for a pair of them to sit side by side on the tabletop – and you could very easily justify even more of them.

One of the reasons for April’s posts being so delayed was that I wanted to photograph them alongside some of my 15mm models for scale, and it took until this last weekend to clear the big table of all the 3d printing junk and sprayed models and then dig out the old Battlefront stuff.

I also printed them smaller, by shrinking them down and then doing a couple. I then mirrored them and printed some more, thinking of that style of “mirrored” apartment blocks you sometimes see. Through a series of mishaps, I then kept misplacing a coupleof them at a time and then printed more to “even out” the numbers and then found the missing ones so had to print out even more to “re-even-out” the numbers… and so on. Ending up with 6 of each.

These smaller ones were finished this past weekend, so are “May Models”, but given that they’re the same STL file as the larger ones and I’m so far behind, it makes sense to post them up together.

And here’s the scale shots with approriate-sized models, along with a theoretical table layout that they could be a part of.

Just a simple one for today – another model that I’ve had floating around on the desk for way too long that I finally completed – the portal from Mantic Games’ Terraincrate Wizard’s Tower.

I gave away a ton of the Terraincrate stuff from the Kickstarter that I backed, due to a combination of models that I knew I’d never paint and them being in warped, bendy PVC that I just don’t have the patience for these days (hello Reaper Bones!) – especially with Flippy here now…

I just kept a relatively small amount of the Terraincrate stuff in the end, and it’s all in the kind of “I’ll get to it when I get to it, if I get to it” range of importance. This one is one of the more interesting (to me) pieces, and as shown in these pics with the other models, I can see some potential for it in games, even as just a flavour piece with no rules attached.

That’s it for today – see you tomorrow (probably!)
