Hobby Lab: Siege Tower – The Finished Print
April 17, 2019 by johnlyons
Here we have the completed print, this model is comprised of five main parts, six wheels, and three ladders. Before we get stuck into the paint job, let's take a moment to get up close with the model.
All the Parts
How's The Quality?
Inevitably, most of the parts need some attention during the prep stages before we can move on to priming. In this case, the quality is fine but needs some attention in the following stage to make them ready for paint.
A Little Stringing
We have some stringing within the walls of the tower segments but, luckily, no print errors.

There are a few places where excess material has been formed (1 & 2), but a little work with a craft knife will soon fix this.
The wheels have turned out great and will need comparatively little attention to make them ready for priming.
Does It All Fit Together?
Smashing Fit
A quick dry fitting of the parts shows us that everything fits very well, straight off the printer bed.
Ramp Hinge Works Beautifully
Even the hinges for the ramp fit and work beautifully. This allows us to see how much cleaning this part may require.
In this case, it needs none as it currently fits snug and is still able to move.
This looks Like Heavy Duty War Machine
The beauty of this kit is apparent in its "robust" look and feel, making it a joy to paint.
