3D opens up many possibilities

At Blackwatch, we have switched from hand-modeled masters to 3D drawings for cost reasons. We now only build our own dioramas with self-printed figures.

As always, we try to at least partially cover our costs by selling figures. At first we thought about having the figures cast in tin and have also added some sets in 1:72 scale to the shop.

In the meantime, I prefer to paint figures from the printer myself, no burrs, no sharp edges. And we use a resin that doesn't break the figure immediately if you look at it too closely. With this in mind, we decided to offer both printed figures and the files for your own printing at Blackwatch.

However, the idea of ​​metal figures and the possibility of producing other scales wouldn't leave me alone.


With this in mind, I gave our Spanish caster Enrique a print of one of our 1870s French Guard Grenadiers in 54mm scale. The last delivery arrived yesterday, including casts of this figure.




What do you think about the production of such large figures?
