Church

I’m slowly printing and painting buildings for my Swedish small town, soon to be zombie-infested. I also want most stuff to be multi-purpose, so I can use it in more games.

This church fits that just fine, as it will look good in said zombie-apocalypse, WWII, pulp, modern, near future, medieval or anything between.

The walls are OpenLock, that is a snap-together system that works surprisingly well both assembling and disassembling.

I got the files for the church, walls and gates from Printable Scenery and they also have a ruined version of the church. You can get it all as a bundle at a very good price just now.

You can also extend the church, making it even bigger, but that was a bit of an overkill for me.

I’m very happy with this, as it turned out just great.

Whatever I get will obviously be used for gaming stuff J Everything shown here is stuff I have bought at full price because I really like what they do.

Modular Tavern from Printable Scenery

Corehaven is a series of modular walls, floors, roofs etc. for building fantasy buildings, even though they could pass for historical ones also.

This is the Tavern, made from pieces from the following sets: Clorehaven Roofs, Rustic Stone Floors, Rustic Stone and Wood Stairs, Rustic Wooden Floors, Schist Walls, Tudor Walls and Wooden Balcony Walls.

It’s real easy to assemble and disassemble, using the OpenLock system. Great stuff when you have a D&D adventure, or anything like that, and want to build a specific building or two. There are lots of pieces to choose from in the Clorehaven series, and you are sure to be able to build most everything.

I’m letting the printer spit out different pieces now, so I can do just that.

OpenLOCK stone walls and a fence

Just painted these modular walls from Printable Scenery.

They are made for the OpenLOCK system, and click into each other easily with clips. They are just as easily disassembled.

These are from Stone Walls set, and give you a huge variety of pieces to build whatever walls you’d like.

If a rickety old fence is more your thing, then these ones, from the Ye Old Fence set might be something for you.

Excellent pieces, as always with Printable Scenery.

3D-printed houses for Rangers of Shadow Deep and other games

It’s been awfully quiet here, as it’s been summer and I’ve had a bit of a blogging burn-out. I think I’m more or less back on track now, so there will be more posts coming soon.

Here are some buildings I printed during the last couple of weeks. I made them for the first scenario of Rangers of Shadow Deep, so now I will have an opportunity to try that game out.

This, the biggest house, is made by Printable Scenery, and is called Winterdale Small Cottage. You can buy that as it is, or as part of a fantasy building bundle. The latter seem to be on sale at the moment, so it might be a good idea to check that out if you’re interested. A couple more of those buildings are in the printing queue, so you might see more of that soon.

 

Anyway, this is really the nicest of the lot, with lots of details and lots of character. A great kit.

Next up is Small Medieval House from Thingiverse. A bit more basic, but a nice little kit. Can’t complain about the price, as free is hard to beat.

 

The Little Cottage is another Thingiverse model, also free. I really like it as it is well detailed, and it has the option of inserting a piece of transparent plastic sheet as window glass. Great model.

 

Finally we have a hut from 3D-print-terrain and their Age of Pirates set. It’s rather simple and crude, but prints very fast and will see use both in fantasy, pulp and other settings. A really useful model.

I’m really happy with how these turned out.

Next, there’s a bunch of desert style buildings that I’ve finished. But more on those in a future post.

Wild West Bank from Printable Scenery

The files for this bank come from Printable Scenery and their Wild West range of buildings.

I’ve had it printed and half-painted for quite a while, and finally painted the final details.

The building is in three parts that I printed with a layer height of .2 mm. Total print-time on my Prusa i3 Mk3 was around 36 hours and filament cost around €6.

Now I have to get some suitable furniture.

3D-printed Ruined Dragon Archway and Dais

Ruined Dragon Archway

The Dragon Archway set and the Dragon Dais set from Printable Scenery will give you a complete and a ruined version of the respective structure.

Ruined Dragon Dais

I choose to print the ruined versions this time, and will use them in Frostgrave as scatter terrain.

Really useful!

3D-printed Ruined Lighthouse by Printable Scenery

I had the printer going warm for a while and it is time to show what I have printed and painted.

This is the Ruined Lighthouse from Printable Scenery. It is, of course, delivered in the form of stl-files, that you use in your 3D-printer.

I printed it with 0.2 mm layer height, that I think is perfectly all-right for models this size. You can see the layering if you go close, but ordinarily you see a building from a couple of feet away and then… well, who notices really.

I used about half a kg of filament on this, costing me around 100 SEK or €10. I think I could lower that if I played around with the settings a bit, but I haven't come that far in my printer-competence yet. 

Painted mostly with wall-paints I buy in 0.4 litre cans for less than the price of two drop-bottles of Vallejo paints. I used a basecoat followed by two to four different dry-brushings of lighter tones.

This model will probably also come in a bundle with other ruined buildings rather soon.

3D-printed cargo piles, barrel cart and more

Got a bunch of 3D-printed stuff ready for gaming.

 

The cargo piles are really useful pieces of scatter terrain. They will be at home in both fantasy, Wild West and pulp settings, and of course other historical ones, too. You’ll get cargo piles for $5 at Printable Scenery.

The barrel cart is a free piece, from Thingiverse this time. It's just great! I have to bind the barrel down with some suitable string, but haven’t found what I need yet.

Finally a marker stone and some stone braziers, also free and from Thingiverse. The marker stone be useful both in Frostgrave and our D&D campaign, while the braziers have a place in the next solo Pulp Alley game I’m planning, not as braziers but relegated to a lesser role as pedestals (the statue is a Reaper Bones figure converted into a bronze). 

This is really the beauty of 3D-printing. I needed five pedestals for a game, looked through my library of stl-files, found something suitable and had them printed in a couple of hours. Great!

A lot of scatter terrain this time. I’m also printing dungeon terrain pieces, and more on those and what you can build with them soon.
(Sorry that I said that the cargo piles were free the first hour or so, as they are not. My bad)
