About the Project

Back around 2017, after watching BOW-OTT demoing Wolsung steampunk skirmish game i was hooked. I back their first Kick starter and started playing some game with what hero and henchmen i could get on Ebay. I always love the Wolsung terrain but it was hard to find here in the US. 2017 I also got my first 3D printer and try to create some terrain to match the MDF terrain from Micro arts studio was a disaster for the start. The PLA filament i used cause a lot of issue with the 3D model i made in tinker CAD. Clogging and under extrusion made my first prints weak and unusable. My plans to make the interior of an Airship were dashed :(. Fast forward to today i have desided give this project another go and see what i can do.

First thing you  need to do is make a copy of any building you want to added a working door to.  Next  i remove the door by creating a negative in shape of that door (normally is a retangle in my case i use a copy of the door imported into tinker CAD. Next using the same door file i resize it to be smaller than the opening so it can open with out rubbing the walls.  Finally i created negative cylinder to run a paper clip through too act as my hinge.  (i try 3D print hinges but most fail over time.)

I found this toy crane on Ebay and wanted to use it on the tabletop.  It has been setting in my bit box for more than 5 years. I started by taking it apart to see what kind of pieces i could use from it.  I like the idea of adding the wheels to the the legs things so i glue them down.  Ok now i need to 3D print some wheel cover to hide the hollow wheels.  Then i  made a base that rotate that themed for Wolsung.

Evolution of an idea

While in Tinker CAD i was playing around with an idea to incorporate the interior wall with the rest of my terrain.  I started with a basic wall to add a stable foundation to build from.  The idea was to create different level from which i could build upon.  The next logical step was a corner. Then that evolved in adding a door and windows.  Next thing i know it become a house then into a small shop.

The small house took about 20 hours to complete. There are some issue with a gap around the windows and  the walls are not symmetrical. Overall decent test print:)The small house took about 20 hours to complete. There are some issue with a gap around the windows and the walls are not symmetrical. Overall decent test print:)

My test print was backwards because file was rotated 90 degree to make it easier to work on. I just mirror the image and printed it again. My test print was backwards because file was rotated 90 degree to make it easier to work on. I just mirror the image and printed it again.
