William's Wargames

BriteMinis is a really wonderful creator STL files for 3D printing, but unlike the vast majority of creators doesn’t lean on overly complex and busy designs, instead choosing to create models which are printable on the average Filament printer without supports.

The result are figures which closely mimick the poses of early two-part spincast figures from Games Workshop and Reaper, albeit with slightly softer detail.

Though there are some layer lines in the model visible on the inside edge of the shield, I have found them to be very paintable and just the right amount of detail to be enjoyable.

One thing this has illustrated well for me is that simpler models, painted well are far superior than highly detailed figures. The added benefit that each figure can be printed in ~30 minutes and doesn’t require post-processing with the associated handling of IPA, resin, etc. is also quite nice!
