Another pair of 3D printed buildings from “MillerBro” and his collection of 1/100 scale (15mm) low detail Buildings. This time it’s the catchily-named “100apartment3level” which I printed in both 15mm scale as well as tinyman scale.

The flat, boring walls were painted using some make-up sponges to try and give them an interesting texture, and I also used some oil wash on both the roofs and parts of the walls and ladders.

Here it is alongside some of my 15mm WWII models for scale – they’re clearly playing World of Tanks here, but it does show the scale with a couple of different-sized tanks.

Here’s the smaller version, with some smaller-scale models alongside it to provide us with the scale reference. I really need to get some Battletech Mechs finished for these scale shots. And some Predator tanks and LI Marine Infantry as well. As with most of my recent posts, these two buildings work for Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery ’25.

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.
