Grendel(?) 1:300 Resin Sci-Fi “Power Building” (Circa 1990’s)

Another piece of “Epic” scale scenery today – we have a piece from Grendel that I picked up in the 1990’s which appears to be OOP these days – I can’t find it on the Scotia Grendel site, nor on the Lost Minis Wiki. As always with these sorts of things, anyone who can identify the name/code of this piece (or a link to where it may be sold today) will get a thank you edited into the post.

 

We can see the ladder and hatch on the side of this thing, as well as what looks like capacitors all around the perimeter of the piece, as well as inside the panels and on the roof. I can’t say I particularly enjoyed painting this one, so rough and ready is good enough for me, particularly as it’s just a bit of random terrain.

Here’s how it looks alongside some figures of the appropriate size. It’s okay as far as size goes, and completely “fine” aesthetically.

It’s also one of those pieces that kind of also works in a scale-agnostic manner, though in larger scales it’s more of a skirmish scatter piece good for LOS-blocking individual models.

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.
