I started a new line of stl files. This time for 6mm.

So far you have learned to appreciate my models, which were designed for large scales. Scaling down to 6mm is only possible to a limited extent. Anyone who has a resin printer can easily do this. However, if you use an FDM printer, which most people do, you will come up against a point of impossibility.

But even with resin printing, it has to be said that many of the beautiful details are lost because they are simply no longer visible. These models can also not be painted so nicely because details for dry brushing or highlighting are no longer visible.

So I decided to convert all my "large" ranges to 6mm.

In my new file sets for 6mm, details are shown larger so that they are clearly visible on the small models. This will probably look a bit exaggerated in the render images, but it will look very nice in print.

Downscaling to 3mm or 1:700 for Black Sails is also possible.

As I said, all is optimated for FDM printing.

All printed on „normal" printers. As for example Creality CR10, Creality CR10 Pro, Anet ET 5. Layerhigh 0.12mm, Slicer Cura 5.2.2

Where does one get the files? I wouldn't have guessed you could get that quality from a FDM printer. But seeing is believing.

I do believe the link is in his profile.

Where would one find the Russian village pieces?

Russian village in my actual Kickstarter.
Link to this not allowed here. But you can find a blog post in my shop…

OK Thank you.

Will you be able to include a 6mm version of the Russian windmill (originally included in The world at war edition 3) with this set?

NDrury, yes in plan

Thank you

For the windmill it might be helpful to include a file for resin printing, as you have mentioned doing for the Würzburg radar.

N Drury. Wuerzburg was an eception, due I had that for own needs. I can not provide in one campaign different styles for any printer type. So this is focussed on FDM printer users….
