Any one know if a company produces minis in 6mm of a frontier log blockhouse? Large on top and small at the bottom. They were used in the French & Indian war, American War of Independence and the War of 1812. Some say they saw service in the Plains Wars as part of bigger forts. I thank you in advance for your help. |

Check out Irregular Miniatures. They make a western fort, as well as Russian village pieces that would work. |

Levenminatures have a blockhouse in their ACW range along with other log buildings. |

Heres a 3d print I made for 10mm.
Close to what your looking for? |

that 3D print would be great except for the door up top. I am looking for a stand alone blockhouse with the door on the bottom. I well check out Levaminiatures though. |

I can recommend Levenminiatures for prompt service. For other American buildings there are also some compatible models for barns and farmhouses from Battlescale and Totalbattleminiatures |

Tigerjim, about how much would that blockhouse run? |

Has anyone tried building them from 1:285 Lincoln Logs? B |

Would a STL suffice? Or do you need the actual model? Like that?
My wife is currently creating medieval buildings in 6mm for a release, so I could ask her to throw in that blockhouse and put it up on drivethru and/or shapeways. |

Here we go:
That round something in the background is a Eurocent.
And the preview render from Shapeways:
Link to the product page with 3d-preview:
link I would appreciate any suggestions on how to make the MODEL better (not the print – there is simply too much to do there the discuss this here)… One main question:
Do you prefer structures that are VISIBLE on a normal 6mm-printout, even when they are absurdly oversized, or do you prefer more realistical structures that only show up on way better prints (like the "frosted detail 0.16mm")? |
