Spring Clean Challenge: Developing WWII infantry for 3D printing
Concept
The thread that inspired this project was about Warrens St Nazaire game, as discussed on the weekender. The brief was to find a range of 3D printable miniatures to represent the British and German forces who took part in the conflict. While I am completely open to the idea that an alternative solution will be found, the parameters of this project have given me an opportunity to progress my digital learning, very much the focus of this year for me. In many ways this is about the journey, rather than the end destination.
After a brief internet search I found these 3D renders on Turbosquid.
They are fairly basic by today’s miniature standards but at $6 I would say they’re decent sculpts for the money. At time of writing the aim is to produce these figures in 6mm so nice simple shapes with low profile detail seems ideal.
They also come with separate rifles or SMG’s which will be handy for posing. The soldiers can also be purchased with ‘rigs’ for $10 (more on rigs later).
