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.

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.
