After 11kg of filament and roughly 1,100 hours of printing the samurai castle is complete. I did the printing as a gift for my brother who did the painting. Including the base of the fort it's 7 stories (just over half a meter) tall. I think it came out quite nice.

A task worthy of a master. It makes a great centerpiece to the whole set up. |

For the curious the STL files are from 3DAlienWorlds. They have a bunch of other cool Samurai related files, I just finished a Tea House today, along with some fantasy and scifi. Really nice stuff if you're into 3D printing. |

That's a work of art; that castle just needs a backdrop to make it sing! But please, standing proud in the field, a polystyrene cup? At least the porcelain(?) bowl is more in keeping and tucked away behind a house. |

That's a magnificent project! |

That's phenomenal! The first assembled and painted one I've seen so far! Would it be possible to share some of these pics on the (3DAlienWorlds) FB page? Pretty please? |

Half a meter? How much is that "in old money," as Mick Aston would say on "Time Team?" So, roughly then, maybe… 18 or 20 inches….?????. Give or take an inch amoung friends? |

Ho-Lee-Chit, this is awesome! I've been eying this STL, but 11kg seems a lot. On their homepage they claim it's ~3kg, so I suppose you scaled it up? |

1,100 hours ! I'd want a life size castle for that… :-) |

Sorry about the dice cups on the table. I had just finished the castle and the table was set up for its first use in a game and in my excitement to get pictures of it I forgot to clean up all the debris (dice cups, etc.). Anyway, glad you enjoyed the pics. |

Looks like a really great experience both in cration and gaming – not least for the armies on the table. Congratulations! |

Great work. Making one of these in 15mm is a 'maybe oneday' project of mine. Yours looks great. Don't worry about cups, this is a wargames site not a modelling one! |
