3D custom building / front modeling. (1 Viewer)

Got to love the AI protection from naughty words. I buttume you meant buttumed?
So if auto censor instead of changing the word a.ss to Donkey, continued to change it to butt, you would have to be careful on how you described a ride on one !🤔
 
Hi,
pardon me asking, but why does it have to be 3D printing. I persume you plan in 1/32 or 54mm scale (Glossy?). In 3D you might encounter problems with the build chamber of a good resin printer. It will be rather expensive in anyway. FDM printers may work for larger scale, but personally I do not like the quality of that 3D printing process.
If you planning on fronts and buildings for Glossy Toy Soldiers than tin plate models would be the best choice. Staying true to the used materials - meaning gloss painted houses etc. to go with glossy troops will give the most pleasing and original results. Anything else is a bit like Ketchup on Caviar, if you know what I mean.
If done correctly, anything built in the traditional way such as using wood, cardboard etc. might work very well also ....
But that is just my opinion
good luck
regards
Wolfgang
Good luck with the project to have the gate built - please do share photos of the end result! As a Durbar collector I just wanted to add that some of the manufacturers of that range have produced building facades for that collection. These vary in scale. Marlborough produced these in plastic and plaster. I’ve included a photo of some of my Marlborough facades including the Marlborough Ganesh Gate. JG Miniatures made some nice plaster bazaar buildings. Lastly, Ana from Beau Geste has also started making painted metal facades which look great! Best wishes.
