I was driving by Terry's place a few weeks back and remembered he'd offer to gift me some 3-D woodpiles. So I stopped in for a chat on the porch and he handed me a clutch of stuff he's printed. Please don't ask for details about printing--I've no idea beyond they were grey-blue.
I slapped some paint on them and, while I don't think I did the figures justice (they were very nice), I think they turned out pretty good despite my painting! I've been watching a lot of 70s sci-fi (Star Lost, Space 1999, Planet of the Apes) hence the basic space BDU approach to their gear.
They are a touch big for 28mm gaming (with 25, 32 and 28 figures for scale) but you can just shrink the printing size if you want.
Thanks for a cool diversion, Terry!

Your welcome Bob. I do find that you cannot expect a file you bring in at 100% to be scaled to something specific. Not sure why that is, as I would expect many to design files to known standards... maybe I'm wrong & its more the printer your using. As I've used a bear model on an fdm printer which printed out HUGE at 100%. You can go back in my blog about that. Your also right about the brittleness of these figures. I've had some bits break off while removing supports, & only realize after the fact the little bit is gone. Not a huge issue though as I can just print more!
Fab work on them all. The log pile work imo just treat them as bigger logs :)
I can't see myself getting into printing either. I think it then becomes the hobby and you also end up increasing your backlog massively.
