Review: 3D Printing Miniatures with FDM Printers, Age of Sigmar Steam Tank Example

Welcome to another review here on the Space Dinosaur, where I'll take a deep dive into a product, game, or technique and offer my opinions and recommendations. Today's topic is 3D printing miniatures in plastic. This was my first foray into printing a miniature and not terrain, and in my opinion, the results are, well, mixed. 

Hobby Table: Cornfield Terrain

Although the month of Spooktober has come and gone, this little terrain project was meant to be part of the same set as my Pumpkin Patch, but alas, I never got around to it in time. Tired of seeing stalks of corn sitting in a box, and knowing that it would be a quick turn around time, I decided to finish off the Cornfield. 

Hobby Table: Iron Golems Warcry Warband

Now that the 2021 hobby is in full swing, I set my eyes on completing the full Iron Golems Warcry warband. At first I was intimidated as each model is totally unique, so it would almost be like painting 8 hero characters. With painting complete, I learned that these are actually quite easy to paint. Not only that, they may be some of my favorite sculpts out of the Age of Sigmar range.

 

Tutorial: Mixing Dungeons & Dragons with Age of Sigmar

The tabletop hobby is so wide and covers so many genres that I would be remiss in covering only fantasy wargames. I've covered nautical wargames in the Golden Age of Sail before, and now I'm turning to another of my favorite style of games: Role Playing Games. I've played with a few different systems now, and while none of them are perfect I quite enjoy Dungeons and Dragons. 

Tutorial: How to Make a Miniature Diorama Photo Booth

One of the coolest parts of the hobby for me is taking immersive pictures of my painted miniatures, like the kinds you seen in my narrative posts. The way I created the background was to print a large stock photo, glue it to a foam core panel, and propping it behind the terrain and game mat. While this worked fine, it was annoying to use as the picture would fall often and I had to shoot at very specific angles to make it work. I also tried out using a lightbox setup, but I wasn't satisfied with that look either. So I made a new photo booth instead. I took some pictures and I'll provide steps on how I made it. 

Hobby Table: Heldenmarch Handgunners, 6th Edition WHFB Sculpts

Welcome to the first post of 2021 here on the Space Dinosaur Minis blog!

After the Cities of Sigmar barely scraped a lucky win in a 4 player free for all battle, it was time that they received some new painted models, new being relative. The models in question are handgunners from the 6th Edition Warhammer Fantasy Battles starter box, which was Empire vs Orcs.
