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.

More terrain today. I know that Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery is just around the corner, and while I’ll be in on that for sure, I’m posting models finished in April right now because I have been – and still am way behind on the ol’ blog.

What we have here then, is a bit of a failure on my part to get things done. This was one of those “easy wins” that sits around in sprue form for years, and then I get it in my head to just smash the thing out and get it done, only for it to end up sitting in limbo for literally a couple of years, taking up space as it floats around on top of other things on my mess of a painting desk…

– until the day when I eventually crack the shits about seeing the bloody thing and then make a new effort to get it finished so I can fuck it off out of the way.

So here it is! Done! Finished! Completed! it doesn’t even look too bad, especially given how much of a pain in the arse it was to get painted. There’s one small(!) problem with it, though.

The scale. I don’t have any of my Bolt Action models handy, but it looks to me like it’ll be a bit small even for them. In any case, it’s too small for me to use with… really anything else. Actually, even looking at the promo pics of this thing over on Warlord’s website, it’s a bit small for those models, and they’ve had to use some …creative layout of the models to make it fit. Well, the link is there, so if anyone wants to buy an undersized, overpriced (£20.00!!!) terrain kit, off you go!
