3D-printed windmill from 3D-Print-Terrain

An old lady on a 25mm base, as size comparison.

I’m furiously building, printing and painting terrain for our Storm over Haag Chain of Command participation game for Gothcon this Easter.
It will be Fallshirmjäger trying to secure the airport of Ypenburg. We have checked maps and after-action reports in an effort to build the north-eastern part of the defences.
On my lot fell printing of this windmill and a couple of barracks (on the painting table now), as well as building all the canals.
So, here’s the first finished piece, a windmill that pumped water just outside the perimeter. It comes from the World at War II kickstarter, and can be bought from Jens’ webshop as part of a bundle. It is originally scaled for 20mm gaming, but easily upscaled to 28mm.
Unpainted on the painting table.
I’m also building a small hill with culverts to put it on. But that’s not finished yet.

    With you tried to scale the buildings down to 15mm-1/100 scale. The windmill is awesome.

      No 15mm for me! :)

      That looked awesome! I have some of his aztec-tiles, that are really beautiful. I actually just sliced some of them, in preparation to print.

      Interesting! Are you printing it in the original 20mm 'scale'?

      2:45 minutes...that's a fast printer :-D
      Hours, I guess.
      I'm printing the small Normandy farmhouse from this KS
      https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/3d-print-terrain/the-world-at-war-ii-printable-scenery
      Doing it for a friend in my gaming group, as there is no chance of me ever painting at the speed the printer produces new stuff.

    I love my Creality CR-10. Also have Ender 3 Pro. It is not running currently. The seller didn't send all the parts. Currently those parts are in the mail. Facebook has a great group. Creality Ender-3 3d printer user group A lot of great help and information on this page.
