Hit and Miss of buying 3D printed miniatures

November 18, 2021  •  Leave a Comment

On my quest for more Anthropomorphic Miniatures, found a site with some interesting models on Etsy.

Bought some Rabbits and some Hippo's to be printed at 28mm scale.
After a month (printer was in Canada), of which spent 2 weeks sitting in Heathrow airmail depot, I final had the package in my hands.

When I opened up the package I found the Rabbits to be a bit on the small side

Above shows the difference between my Badgers & Burrows collection, because of the size I decided to put them on 25mm bases than 30mm

Line up of all the seven models with various weapons.

Also bought the above Archer which did turn out to be the right scale.

Alongside the Bunnies, I also purchased a group of Hippo Soldiers - stated to be 32mm scale, they turned out to be the correct size to count as Large Creatures on 50mm bases

I think these will be very interesting models to paint, lots of detail, thinking something Napoleonic?

 

Think the guy realised the issue of scale and added one additional model for free

So lesson learned - be very careful when reviewing the scale of model options:)
