"3d printed and painted Medieval / Fantasy stuff 28mm" Topic

To not show render pictures only, I printed and painted some Medieval / Fantasy stuff for my next Campaign. I made it in 28mm.

Very nice! Love the castles!

Great models but the painting and photos are astonishing.

That is some really nice modeling.

Gorgeous stuff: superb models, top notch painting. Thanks for sharing the eye candy. Cheers!

Resin 3d printing is a new renaissance in the industry.

@Perris0707

itīs not resin printed. I use my Bambu Lab A1 FDM printers. Fantastic mashines.

They look great. Where did you get the STL files (or did you do your own artwork)?

@aedwards

I design the models and these are in a future project. More info in my shop

3dprintterrain.de

See, it's not so hard.

*Machines.

"artwork"?

May be an option until GW rerelease the fortress.

Be more impressed if scratch built.

There are obvious gaps where, I assume, removable parts meet. Warping?

Cracks in roof/floor look fake. May be due to painting techniques?

Atmospheric interior shots.

Like many 3d prints, the more you look the more you see. Unfortunately not in a good way. Though I get it's just for illustrative purposes and our results may vary.

It is good to go lower end on printing so people don't get too caught up in a high end print, only to be disappointed.

The problem 3d file makers face by printing everything is where to put them. It's has never likely been a consideration in the relentless push for downloadable content.

Though from this end, it's still beats the alternative.

Great photographs. They look really real.

The H Man: You must be fun at parties.

Great looking!

Wow.

"The H Man: You must be fun at parties."

Yes, I am, but only because people aren't drinking watered down .

Very nice prints and painting. And your photos are outstanding!

I too have a Bambu A1, but mine is the mini. Love it…prints amazing miniatures and terrain.

The H man, so you party with people who drink undiluted p*ss?

Well, I've seen the GW fortress models, in person, and as sold, they don't hold a candle to this stuff: the plastic walls are smooth, and need some sort of texturing to look like other than plastic; they are too simplistic and too squat, too chunky, for my taste.

Wow. As someone who builds PDF card stock castle models using chipboard and wooden dowels to reinforce the models, I guess I should hang my head in absolute shame… ROFLMAO!

I've seen much poorer quality models in museums in Germany, and elsewhere. Museum Quality is a misnomer, and a blatant insult to those who build gaming models… I've never seen a museum model that matched the quality of high-end gaming models, and I've visited a few museums over the past 35 years of miniatures gaming. I am surprised by the lower quality of models found in museums. However, when I read up on architectural model making, I discovered that they build their models to different standards, which have little to do with realism, in most cases. They are more into concept models, and most museum models are constructed by architectural model builders, not gamers.

This stuff is some of the best I've laid eyes on. I would never accuse the poster of using photographs of Real World castles, passing them off as models; however, these are some of the most impressive castle models I've seen yet.

They are models, and they will have failures and shortcomings compared to reality. Within the context of these being gaming models, they are outstandingly good, IMO. I don't know any gamer who would say, "No, thanks," to these models being used at their gaming tables. Well, maybe I know of just one. ;-) Cheers!

Some more pictures

"The H man, so you party with people who drink undiluted p*ss?"

That's correct mate.

"the plastic walls are smooth, and need some sort of texturing to look like other than plastic;"

Actual modelling, can't have that.

a little update

Glad I came back to the updated medieval goodness

Downscaling to 12mm also works well

Excellent designs and prints. Very well=painted, also. Thanks for sharing these beauties! These are fantastic prints and far outshine card models. Nothing short of individual bricks (plaster or XPS) would come close to level of detail you have in these models.

Some townhouses

Some more models in 12mm (also printed FDM)

Credit for adding to your existing topic and not spamming boards.

Do you have some fresh off the plate pics, with supports, to compare to painted ones?

Maybe even a CG/Printed/Painted comparison pic?

The pics do need more figures to show scale and look cooler.

Here are a few figures to go with the buildings.

On my hard drive, I had a nice figure Kickstarter I participated in a few years ago. Normally, you're supposed to print this beautiful set with a resin printer, but I wanted to test my Bambu Lab with the challenge of printing figures. So, as I said, the figures are FDM printed.

Admittedly, the quality is nowhere near as good as the resin printer. But from a distance, the figures are still impressive, I think.

Ahhhhhh, simply FANTASTIC stuff!!!!

Yesterday I painted my 12mm printed stuff. Very nice for EPIC scale

"It's a ghost town Jim."

Bad habits.

With the figures, one gambler looks like he's lost, but has pulled a gun on the other two with his robotic arm.

Explanation? Bad print? Star wars set? Something I'm not seeing?

Also I see a lack of enthusiasm with the building painting.

Doorway stone work? Oh, just slap it on across half the door.

I never really wanted to respond to your posts, at least not until you showed some of your work.

Except for the ignorant comments about 3D printing, which apparently doesn't interest you anyway. You should use your senseless babble to build and paint, so you can inspire us with pictures of your work.

"With the figures, one gambler looks like he's lost, but has pulled a gun on the other two with his robotic arm."

Another sign you have no idea about. This one is the legendary medieval card player Johann von Struchtrup, who lost his arm in the Peasants' War and received an iron prosthesis from the blacksmith Alfred von Tacken of Lueneburg.

"Doorway stone work? Oh, just slap it on across half the door."

and once again no idea. Look "medieval stone door frame"

So instead of boring us with your pointless comments, inspire us and show us your model creations, made from cardboard, egg cartons, and balsa wood scraps.

nah…..H Man likes to hear himself complain

Better then people who like to hear themselves attack other people.

"ignorant comments"

Bzzz, sorry incorrect.

"build and paint"

Umm.., now that's ignorant.

"Another sign you have no idea about."

Perhaps that's why I was asking?

I won't apologize for not knowing everyone in history.

And I see no stone colour messily slapped across that door.

"So instead of boring us with your pointless comments"

A My comments are related to the topic, less these such clarifications.

B If I'm so boring, why do I seem to be getting more correspondence here than the topic?

"inspire us and show us your model creations, made from cardboard, egg cartons, and balsa wood scraps."

Going by respoces to my discussion of 3d printing topics on a 3d printing board, I could only imagine how well posting topics on making terrain would go down.

Noah, or perhaps Neo, turning the tide? It does sound nice, I agree.

These pics are super impressive and were fun to admire! IMO, most gamers don't care if they are using others' prints, making terrain from scratch or something in between. Rather, the point is to enable FUN gaming, and everyone can choose for themselves what works best from an overall look, cost and time efficiency standpoint. Personally, I love the 3-D prints you can buy for cheap on Etsy, and they make for great gaming opportunities (probably a lot cheaper than what GW will sell you, too). I enjoyed paining all of these buildings to a reasonable tabletop gaming level. The most fun is coming up with your system/scenario including figuring out what is going on in each of these buildings!

Some 3d printed Civilians round the Townhall which is placed in my Hometown. Build in 1570 it stands at market place until today. Building to small for figures? Yes, Building is 1:72, figures are 28mm. But for foto ok, I guess.
