3D printed Normandy farm

Painting that will be a mission by itself

That is gorgeous, Kaczor! I think painting the farmhouse and farmyard will be most enjoyable. Please do show us the progress.

That's impressive! 500 hours and 16kg of filament--what's the penance for the first Tiger 1 that wangs it? Cuz you know it'll be some stoopid Tiger

The fragile plastic of the Heng Long has no chance against the thick walls.

The details of the model have been rescaled very nicely, haven't they? What layer height did you use?

I like it a lot, I think you've given me some ideas

The models were glued and screwed together from the inside using metal plates. I decided that I wouldn't bother with filling and sanding, though. The divisions are almost invisible. And the print layers on the stones and wood aren't that noticeable. This week I finally got around to painting.

Only half of the prints are shown in the photo - the house is still being painted and the second farm building is currently being printed. I'll also add a wash to the roofs later.

I am not jealous, nor envious, nor even green with desire—no not one bit. O.K. I will just go off somewhere and cry, kick my feet, choke, scream…. I want! I want! I want!

Those look great. I've been contemplating a similar project, but with only one printer I think it would take a long time to print.

It's a matter of dividing the model into parts. Additionally, in this case, the length of the printout is affected by the detailed interior (which won't be visible anyway).
