Entrenchment/Emplacement Components (15mm)

[Fitz]

After working on a 3d-printed gun emplacement recently, I realised that for the most part I would have been better off with printed components that I could assemble with traditional modeling methods into emplacements or entrenchments. So I got to work in Blender and whipped up some basic pieces that I can print and work with.





The main revetments are 60mm long by 12mm high, for use with 15mm figures, and they can be pretty easily cut up, either digitally or physically after printing, to create shorter runs if need be. They're fairly period-agnostic; I think they could be appropriate for any cannon-using wargamer from the 1600s onward.

I assembled them into a complete emplacement that would fit most medium guns, and I'd fill out the glacis with foam and plaster and what-not. The 3d printing just takes care of the fiddly bits. The individual components would be more flexible, but the pre-assembled print is less trouble if what you want is a 60mm square.





I think that for entrenchments, a fire-step piece might be useful, though it might just get in the way of placing figures.

I think it likely that I might add to them over time, as I find new bits that I'd like to have.

Nice.  Might want to add an embrasure wall so guns have somewhere to 'poke' out of.

Done, and added
