Rural Ruin

[Fitz]

Here's a little ruin I did, for 15mm gaming, with a bit more of a rural aspect than the others I've been doing recently. It's assembled from pieces from the Printable Scenery Modular Ruins set, plus the little outhouse I designed the other day. And, of course, various sorts of rubble and what-not.

I don't know what it is about ruins that attracts me more than models of functional buildings.

Very nice job! I like it very much! Ruined houses still have soul!

I really like seeing your 3D print projects as you are a real trailblazer for the new technology. well done

This building looks like a high quality resin kit and has superb detail.

Great job - I love the way that the house has been destroyed but the outdoor loo survived

One of the surreal things about the aftermath of the very destructive earthquakes we had here in Christchurch a few years ago was the weird way that one building might have been utterly flattened, while another right next to it seemed perfectly fine. Or even how half of a building might look perfectly OK, but if you went around the back the other half was completely collapsed. Destruction follows odd paths.

Fantastic work!

I think that ruined buildings let us indulge ourselves artistically a little more than an intact building.

That’s excellent

That’s a really lovely little mini diorama.

Beautiful work indeed.

How well would those ruins scale down to 6mm do you think?

They scale down very well, though they do need to be printed at decent resolution. I don't have any photos of these specific pieces scaled down, but this is a model from the 28mm Ulvheim range (available on Thingiverse) scaled down to 6mm-ish. It's printed at 0.08mm in PLA.

The 1/285 scale Burford-Kegresse machine-gun carrier was printed by Shapeways in SLA resin.

Thanks, good to know. I saw the Ulvheim prints on your site so i thought i would ask about these models.
