Europe Asunder cavalry

I think they look great for 6mm and appear to be easy to paint, which is a bonus

Beautifully painted but the sculpts look a bit odd. Are the horses meant to be of the rocking or Shetland Pony variety?

Is the feedback meant to be of the constructive of p!$$ taking variety?  Maybe a link to your own 6mm equine sculpts could offer some guidance?

Agreed.

Both sizes are included in the range, so you can choose which style best suits your perspective.

I think you should be applauded for offering that level of choice in such a small scale as 6mm.

They can be printed up in any scale though right? I fancy the Europe Asunder range in 10mm myself.

10mm scale is no problem at all. Above 18mm, the issue of proportions becomes a problem with figures optimised for 6mm. The converse is also true. Simply reducing from 28mm to 6mm will not produce a figure that works, both from a printing and aesthetics perspective. Some people have printed at 20mm by reducing the X- and Y-axis dimensions compared to the Z-axis. The latter gives the height of the figure, so the front-to-back and side-to-side dimensions are kept more narrow than they would otherwise be. This doesn't work well for 28mm though, as weapons, etc all appear disproportionately large.

Really amazing figures!  I have several Baccus minis, and a friend and I were looking at 3D printing options. Yours' are truly inspirational. Living in Europe makes ordering from the UK far too painful, so this looks like the way to go

Can you suggest/advise on 3D printer specs to look for? Or any major does and do nots?

Thank you. For 6mm figures, you will need a resin printer. Something like the Elegoo Mars 2 Pro or equivalent for example. Basically a printer that uses LCD technology to accurately project the UV light into the resin vat. This creates each layer that builds into the full model. The Elegoo resins include a water-washable version, which avoids the need to invest in isopropyl alcohol or other equivalent cleaning agents. It is well worth spending time watching the various videos about resin printing on YouTube.

You will need software as well for preparing the figures to print. This should be available as part of the resin printer package. The Elegoo printers come with Chitubox for example.
