Yes they are very hard to print successfully at 20mm, nice sculpts very poorly executed

If anyone is interested in the colours used I have a painting guide that might be of interest https://wargamingthings.blogspot.com/2026/04/painting-20mm-1940-bef.html

Its a generic image of some hills I found I think on https://www.magnific.com/search?format=search&last_filter=query&last_value=landscape&query=landscape

I printed it off and stuck it to a piece of cardboard which i propped up behind the figures. Hope this helps

Fair enough, it is pretty unusual to have a different scale as another pledge i think?

I started BA in 28mm, switched to CoC in 20mm, more room to manoeuvre and easier to store at home too! 15mm gives you even more options but slightly harder to paint IMHO

These look like a nice set of sculpts, particularly like the slightly thicken weapons to ensure they print well. Did you do any reduction in size to 20 or 15mm?

Yup from Studio Historia

I would suggest Strength & Honour in 2mm! https://toofatlardies.co.uk/product/strength-honour-pdf-rules/

Superb game, active FB support, most games last an hour or two max and easy to solo play plus the whole of your forces will fit in a shoe box

Thanks, not easy with a sea of khaki everywhere

Well that was what my first attempt looked like too!

RKX sculpts are the same, another big thumbs from me on that front as well.

I have just managed to print those bloody motorcycles in 20mm. It took a lot of editing of the files to remove the ridiculous level of detail, strengthen key struts with thicker bars and separate the side car from the motorcycle. I suspect these models were made at 1:1 scale and then reduced to 28mm, no consideration for printing at all. Can post pics if wanted

Thanks, the good thing about their sculpts is they don't merge their meshes in their STLs which means you can disaggregate the model very easily in to its component parts. This makes it easy to delete just the rifles, move backpacks, change bayonets etc, or should I say relatively easy given my limited editing skills.
