12mm 3D Printed Terrain Pieces

 I thought I'd have a go at creating some more terrain pieces to use with my growing 12mm collection.

One thing I've always wanted to do is create the hedges of the Bocage for Normandy games, but I've always been put off by the "hard work"!

I've been interested in solid resin hedges that I've seen on line, but the cost would prove prohibitive. So with my trusty 3B Builder software and some "Bush" files I borrowed from Thingiverse, I'bve set about creating my own. I decided early on to comprimise on the size of the hedges...to make bocage to 12mm scale would mean longer printing time, more storage space and material costs than if I kept them to a more reasonable size...just taller than the figures at 16mm approx.

So I've produced;-

• Straight and 90' angled sections 16mm high
• Straight sections with gates
• Straight and 90' angled sections 16mm high with trees growing amongst the bushes

Once printed, these are quickly primed with matt white spray, and then finished using Contrast paints, before varnishing.

Quick and simple, and very cheap!

I've also added some haystacks, brick walls and a rather nice bridge I found on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2157940) scaled down to 12mm.

Finally, for a bit of fun, I also had a go at creating a dug-in Panther turret of the type found in the Gothic Line in Italy.
