Biggerrer is Betterrer ... Question Mark?
It’s only at this point that it occurred to me that I should check the scale of the 3D prints in relation to existing B&P minis. Oops. So after a little digging in the Pile of Potential I had my answer …
Droopy rifles
Chunky BoiAs you can see there is a little bit of a difference. Incidentally the bases I printed for them was a free 25mm wooden base I found on MMF and of course the metal B&P figs come on a 20mm base.
I’ve no idea how the new plastic minis will compare in scale to the old metal ones, so I’ll mostly hold off on more prints but I might do one scaling test. I scaled the base to 20mm which worked out about an 20% reduction (I know – math could have told me this but .. brain) so I picked a couple more models and set them to 80% and will see how they come out.
On the plus side, if the 80% scaling works out, it means that some of the larger terrain pieces and ships that came with the Treasure Island set will fit much better on my print bed.
