I hate to be 'that guy' but the Y straps are really incorrect for the period. Once in combat they either wore the 1910 haversack with built in straps, or not at all. |

Not a problem, jgawne. There were several changes to uniform, not least the forest green version, after deployment to France. The great thing with 3D printed figures, particularly if you buy the Blender ('source') file as well, is that you can remove the Y straps, add a 1910 haversack, or reconfigure in multiple other ways. Things like the Y straps are represented as individual components that you can toggle 'on' or 'off' for example. Likewise the haversack. It is a pre-configured component that can be toggled. Everything, including the rifle, bayonet, webbing, scabbard, and the various body parts are completely configurable before you print the figures. Robert |

Well, that's cool. But TINY ! Kind of amazing you can see the details at that scale. |

yup larger images for here at least would be a big help. |

Fantastic detail at that scale, and great paint work. |

Here are more Brothers-in-Arms, painted with the Wargames Foundry Forest Green triad for the uniform:

You are very welcome. There will be an illustrated painting guide out soon too. I will let you know when it is ready. Robert |

Wow, I am interested in printing 6mm infantry. I don't have any 3D printer yet. What hardware and printing material do you use please? |

I use a FormLabs Form 3 resin printer but there are cheaper resin printers that available, such as the Elegoo Mars. Well worth checking out the range of YouTube videos available on 3D resin printing. The advantage of the FormLabs printer is that it is literally plug-and-play. You drop in a resin cartridge and make sure the machine is level; it does the rest. No hassles and no smell. Robert |
