A blog to let me wax lyrical about the hobby, to talk about the fictitious 18th century country Scotia Albion and their arch enemies from the Grand Duchy of Comyn and to display my progress (albeit slow) in creating their armies and characters.

Bastion finished
i know you may be mighty bored of this by now 🤣 However the final parts for the bastion are done, I'm well impressed.
I shall now do some walks etc and let you have a rest before there's any more printing updates.
Graham - this stuff is fantastic - is this in 28mm scale? Could it be scaled down to 15mm without much hassle? How big is this piece you've shown us today?
That's all the questions for the moment! - I'm fascinated and pretty excited about all this stuff - brilliant.
Ha, I will get the measurements tomorrow and yes this is 28mm but I reduced the dimensions by 10% Scaling down to any scale is straight forward take the original size 1/56 so 56 and divide by scale you want 1/72? Ie 72 answer is o.77 so reduce dimensions to 77% ( simples) like you I’m fascinated by it all
That's a solid chunk of Wargames goodness you've got there.... Magister Militum sell their vaubanesque bastion for £73 and walls for about half that. So but the time you've bought enough for a fort you could have bought a printer and done it yourself as you have!
Graham, I was in awe of the first sections but now this bastion is complete even more so! I'm enjoying seeing just what this technology can do. I would love to see that 15mm Sherman you printed if possible? I'm seriously considering getting a printer when I'm back in the Uk. Will check the buzon tomorrow to see if those RHA officers have arrived :) Keep the posts coming!
That bastion looks the business. The more I see what you are doing, the more I am tempted to buy a 3d printer myself. I will follow your progress with interest
Wow - that is tremendous . I'm looking for some pre-formed outworks for a model I'm building which includes Sarissa Precisions' Bastle and Peel tower models . Sadly they don't yet do a z plan tower house . I was looking for something like your fine piece as a commercially "buyable" item to form outworks for the Peel ....any ideas ?
Not bored at all, merely gob smacked at what can be achieved.
ReplyDeleteYup it’s quite frightening at the speed of change
DeleteLooks pretty dandy :)
ReplyDeleteTamsin I guess it is, test print of jeep this weekend 🤣

Stuart,
DeleteI will work out what it's cost me but I guess that was my logic!
