"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

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 p*ss.

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!

"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.
