Take A Peek At Miniature Scenery’s New Orksteady & Bebork
January 8, 2020 by brennon
Miniature Scenery has been working on a pair of rather impressive looking MDF Kits which will be dropping into the mix for use by Ork hordes in the grimdark future. See what you make of Orksteady & Bebork.
Miniature Scenery has, up until now, offered all of their weapon options in their traditional MDF style as you can see above on the kit to the left. However, they have also been tinkering with 3D sculpting and printing and are now going to be offering up a selection of STL Files which allow you to replace specific components with ones you've printed yourself.
As you can see, this adds another little bit of detail into the mix and works a little bit better for more complicated elements of the model. There is nothing wrong of course with the MDF components and we've seen some great stuff in the past from Miniature Scenery, but this is a nice step into a new world of 3D printing for 2020.
They have said that you get the best results with SLA machines but you can also print via an FDM printer too. I'm sure those with more knowledge of this subject than me will be able to give you more insight into the best way to bring these components to life.
What do you make of the walkers with or without the 3D printed components?

Nah…. neither…. that’s not what MDF is good at :S
Despite the names which gave me a chuckle, these are REALLY not good. The 3d-printed resin guns do look nice, but all of the exposed seams and thick panels make the kits look kind of cheap and flimsy, and not the kind of “good ugly” orks have. However, I do like Miniature Scenery’s offerings when it comes to terrain, so I hope to see more of that in the future, and less in the way of proxy models.
they need Justin to build them?
I think complicated MDF kits like these would REALLY benefit from having painted (or at least primed) pics as well as the raw wood versions.
Nah not for me. Miniature Scenery produce some cracking kits but I’m not feeling the MDF walker.
