6mm Napoleonic Spanish

thingiverse

These are 6mm miniatures designed to print from FDM printers. Function was chosen over form to allow for more durability and cleaner prints. Of course, these models can also be printed from resin printers. At 100%, these miniatures are 6mm tall from foot to the top of the head. We found the miniatures print best in strips. If you need individual models, simply print a strip and cut-off the models. The strips can also be glued together to form larger stands, or glued to bigger bases, depending on your needs. The flag poles allow for an 8mm tall flag. Some cleaning may still be required after printing and they may be slightly bendy. We found that after painting the models in acrylic paint, the durability is greatly enhanced (all the more reason to paint!). Super glue works wonderfully for any repairs that may be needed. For the cavalry, the struts connected to the muzzle and tail will need to be removed after printing. Unfortunately, this may cause the horse to separate. If this happens, simply super glue it back together. This was the best way I could find to ensure the muzzle and tail print nicely without having to use full struts/supports. I do not take credit for the horse model: it is a remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2696963. I will continue to add to the collections when I can, so keep checking back!
