Again with the 3D printed buildings! Into April my finger was still messed up so the best I could manage in terms of painting was relatively simple 3d printed terrain pieces. These ones come from a creator called “MillerBro” and are his collection of 1/100 scale (15mm) low detail Buildings.

The first building here – the one I printed in 15mm acale is listed as “officers100” so I assume it’s supposed to be an officer’s quarters in 1/100 scale. To me it looked more like the sort of kiosk building that you see with tourists’ information than something for officers.

Here it is alongside some of my 15mm WWII models for scale. I really need to get some modern 15mm stuff painted, but give it time… It’s not a bad little one. I also decided to try to shrink it down, since the creator mentions that he scaled up some of his 1/285 buildings.

Here it is again, but smaller! I did a pair of them in the smaller scale. One day I’ll get some tiny tanks or walkers painted to do the comparison thing! I couldn’t get to my Flames of War stuff to show alongside the 15mm/1:100 building, but I’ll get to that later on this week (hopefully) and maybe sneak-edit a shot into this post.

And here we are – some “Epic” miniatures alongside these tiny houses to help visualise their scale properly.

This one is called “100apartmentssmall3level.stl” – though again this is the re-shrunk down version to go with the Battletech/Epic scale buildings. These are tiny when compared to both styles of the other buildings I’ve shown from March’s models – and again I’ll throw in some scale shots when I can!

And again! Scale shot stealth edit.

So. Here’s the Round-up for March. Yes, more than a touch late, but I’ve had a fair bit going on and so it is what it is. You’ll note that scenery has a big part to show in March’s output. That’s both because of Flippy and his work ethic amd also the fact that March was when I sliced my finger open real good, which pretty much put the kibosh on painting for a good few weeks following.

The scenery then, is largely for 6-8mm “Epic” scale games, and while I’d have loved to show some things aside these buildings, we’re just not quite there yet – even now, a month later down the road from when this post should have been posted.

You can see just how much larger the Fabricator’s Lair building is when compared to everything else. It seems to me that while there’s always abstraction involved with wargame scenery and models, and infantry and vehicles, it’s a wider gap between the Battletech ones and the Epic 40k/Imperialis ones.

You know, the whole “so how exactly do 10 marines fit in a Rhino?” and then looking at the size of an actual house or apartment building compared to those in our games (any of our games). They’re always so tiny. Your typical 28mm 6×4 table (or whatever measurement 40k uses now) covered in terrain, bunkers, and L-shaped ruins would probably fit comfortably inside the car park of your local supermarket. The “Battletech” buildings seem much “worse” at this than the “Imperialis” ones.

I had 120 models of various kinds finished at the end of February. Not a lot in terms of numbers here, but 11 Buildings of various sizes, 3 Tyranid Spires, 8 Zombies, 4 Survivors/Zombivors and 3 Beastmen gets us a total of… huh. 29 models. Not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. So at the end of March, I had 149 models painted.

Onto April’s models! (also a month late!)
