3D printable crew for 1/700 scale ships
« on: July 22, 2024, 02:23:14 PM »
Hello!
I'm fairly new to Black Seas but one thing I wanted was to be able to add crew to the ships to complete the visual part of tem. As I only found a couple of options to buy physical models and getting advantage o my 3D modeler background, I created a full set of printable models to populate my ships.

I uploaded them here in case someone is interested:

As I said in another post, this is first a project of mine and second, something that I put up for sale, as I didn't find anything similar on the internet as accesible as somethind 3D pritable and maybe some of you are in the same situation.

Great use of 3d printing - those are surprisingly detailed and effective, given the tiny size of them (2-3mm tall I’m guessing)

Good job on filling the decks with those!

I totally understand the impulse as I did the same thing to crew my fleets for Armada, the fantasy version of Black Seas licensed by Mantic, but at about 1/300 since their ships are a larger scale.
If my wife asks, I only spent half as much as I wanted to...

nice crew miniatures  :-*. Well worth the effort. I use 6mm 3D prints from Turner Miniatures to crew my 1/350 ships. changed the scale of course.

Yes, they are 3mm tall. THey should be 2.5mm as to be true to the 1/700 scale, but the Black Seas brig has tall sides and It seemed a bit off :)

That's very nice - and really elevates the ship models.  Good job.
