Hi guys!


^British miniatures printed at 15mm

Hope you won't mind my plugging my currently active Campaign over on Kickstarter. It's a set of early WW2 easy-print figures with more than 500 models. The sculpts are natively scaled for 6mm but rescale handily up to 15mm, and are designed to print with no added supports on the part of the user.

Here's the link and the trailer, I'll provide further info below!

^German forces printed at 6mm


The two Core armies are the BEF and the German Heer, though stretch goal progress means that we can now throw the French into the mix as well. By default these armies include Riflemen, SMGs, LMGs, HMGs, AT Riflemen, Radiomen, Observers, HQ/Staff, Snipers, Mortars and Artillerymen. There are also two add-ons, with one adding in a selection of artillery pieces to fill in gaps for pieces that aren't freely available elsewhere (or at least, not with good sculpts that work at 6mm) and the second add-on including Tank Commanders, Vehicle Crews and Passengers to be used in conjunction with freely available vehicle models like TigerAce1945's and m_bergman's. I sought direct permission from both of them to alter their tank cupolas to accommodate these figures too.

We've still got 20 days left for funding, so lots of time to move toward juicy stretch goals like further French forces and Fallschirmjaegers.

Finally, unlike most creators, I also offer the Blender files used to make the range as optional extras. These Blender files are configured so you can change the loadouts of all the figures with a system of toggles and each object is separate and manipulable. So it's very useful for "digital kitbashing."


Happy to answer any questions folks might have. Of course, the best place to learn more about the project would be on the Kickstarter page itself, but I've also done my best to make the linked trailer nice and comprehensive too.
