A September Workbench update

I haven't had as much time to spend by my workbench as I've wanted lately. As I previously mentioned in this blog we needed to dig up and replace our drainage-pipes around our house this summer. Now the main job is done and it's time to re-establish the lawn, terrace and espaliers and to paint the latter... 

This has left me with less time for modelling, so I've mainly just let my 3D-printer print models I have in the pipeline for different future projects in the meanwhile. 

The models on the following two photos are made to roughly 54mm-ish scale, and I plan to use them in some future gaming. I may cover them with snow and use the spruces on a H0e/H0n30-layout later on.

This is a really large model (made to 1:19 scale). My 3D-printer is limited to objects of only 15x15x15 cm size, and this Armored Car needed to be printed in 3 parts. It's printed to 'fine resolution' which made it's total printing-time to almost a week (!)

When each parts take so long time to 3D-print, it's really frustrating to find mistakes on the final parts; Like this 'layershift' on a 48 hour print...

...or run out of filament on this 26 hour print without noticing it. Fault like these can't be fixed, and it's just to throw the part away and print another one.

I've started to work on some of these 3D-prints already, and these about 1:24th scale figures are covered with sprayfiller to give them a smoother finish. I think these are soon ready for some paint.

Now it look's like I'll probably have enough 3D-printed objects to paint and finish to keep me busy for a long time into 2025...

It's about time to finally read some new wargame rules and prepare some wargames soon too:
