18mm 3D printed Scifi ORKS by Puppetwar

Hello again all,

These are the start of my 18mm 3D printed scifi ORKS by Puppetwar.

I know yet another project 😔😟

Very characterful & lovely minis. These guys make some of the best ORKS around.

I absolutely love the wacky one with the large shell & hammer ( One on the left 3rd pic )

Thanks for your comments.

18 mm 3D printed Infantry & droids by Wardaddy.

Hello all,

These are 18mm 3d printed Infantry & droids by Wardaddy.

Quite nice minis .

The infantry weapons are thin at 18mm , so

make them thicker ( I didn't & some broke off with dry brushing  :(  ).

I converted 3 of the robots with saw's ( top photo )

Wardaddy have quite a lovely collection of modern infantry also. And I think they have freebies on 

Cults3D.

PA & Light mechs are from Mechwarrior.

Thanks for your comments.

New 18mm 3D Printed Robots from UNIT9

These are new droids from Unit 9 
Unit 9 makes great robots.
I also like their coloured illustrations & the battle mats which can be used as inspiration when I am

stuck for a colour scheme.

I kitbashed the smaller ones slightly. As always small robots printed at 15/18 mm are fiddly, so ankles & wrists must be shored up .

Thanks for your comments.

18mm 3D printed Mechs by Stationforge

Hello again all,

These are 18mm 3D printed Mechs by Stationforge .

I think they would be good as AT warhounds also.

Quite nice chonky , solid models. Love the heads especially.

If I were to do them again I would stick the shoulder guards to the weapons & not the body.

The magnetised arms are not sticking properly due to alignment  

OR

modify the arms so as to have magnets ( stick vertically not horizontally ) on their top part & modify the shoulder guards to take magnets.

Thanks for your comments.

3d Printed mechs by Filamentio ( 6 to 28 mm )

Hello again all ,

Here is a batch of 3d printed mechs by Filamentio . 
One of the best artists for mechs imho.
Could be used with 6 to 28mm minis, just note that some of the detail is delicate at this scale.

Infantry fig is an 18mm one.

Thanks for your comments. Z

Scratch built Desert dwellings 2 ( Egg Carton boxes ) & Wood Bark hills

Hello again all,

You might remember these

 https://castrarunis.blogspot.com/2022/09/scratchbuilt-18mm-scifi-desert.html 

Well now I'm going to make something similar but with card egg cartons.
 As always Reduce, Reuse  & recycle.
Still a wip.
We'll see where this leads. Problem is ( as always 😉) when to stop !! Euro cent for scale.

Another good tip I discovered is that 3d resin clogged IPA ( or methylated spirit ) is VERY good for coating card or wood. It soaks very well. Evaporates & when left in the sun hardens to an almost plastic card strength. Becomes water resistant but NOT water proof though. It can also be used for basing if mixed with wood dust etc.

As seen on the wood bark chip hills below.

So you have been advised DON't throw away that used IPA and please do remember it is still dangerous.

                                    

And these are my wood bark hills . Simple yet very effective. Was going to paint them grey but decided to leave as is.  Euro cent for scale.

Thanks for your comments.
