Alien Jungle Basing with 3D Printed Plants
You've seen our Star Wars Legion painting before. What you haven't seen, however, is our use of 3D printed plants to give bases a bit more pop!
We have a merchant's license to buy, print, and paint plants and doodads made by “Fantastic Plants and Rocks” on Myminifactory. Here are some examples of their work:
These are meant to be printed out (fairly) large. However, we wondered how small could we make them? Kashan and Manul did some tests, and found many of the designs could shrink down just fine.
You can see how we used these printed plants here, on this Star Wars Legion order. The client wanted us to give the figures an alien forest/jungle look. Toward this we applied a few unearthly-looking plants. We painted some purple to offset the use of green, and to draw attention to their alien nature.
We’re also quite pleased with how this came out in execution. We are adding 3D-printed plants to our bag of tricks for doing advanced basing!
