Frequently asked questions
Our 32mm miniatures are created at a 1:50 scale, which is commonly referred to as 32mm scale in the world of miniatures.
Why do you call it 32mm scale if the miniatures aren’t exactly 32mm tall?
The term "32mm scale" is historically used to describe the size of tabletop miniatures. However, 1:50 scale is a more precise representation.
A 32mm miniature in the 1:50 scale would represent a 1.60-meter-tall person.
The actual height of our miniatures varies based on the real-life dimensions of the subjects they represent. For example, a miniature of a shorter person or a creature would be smaller, while a larger figure or creature would be taller.
How does the 1:50 scale work?
In a 1:50 scale, every 1mm on the miniature represents 50mm (or 5cm) in real life.
This consistent ration ensures that all miniatures are proportionate to each other, creating a cohesive and realistic collection, regardless of the varied heights of the figures.
Can I use these miniatures with other 32mm scale models?
Yes! Our 32mm (1:50 scale) miniatures are designed to be compatible with other 32mm scale models, maintaining a consistent and realistic appearance alongside other figures of the same scale.
Our 75mm miniatures are designed to represent a range from 1:20 to 1:25 scale.
Why do you call it 75mm scale if the miniatures can vary in height?
The 75mm scale miniatures are designed to represent a range from 1:20 to 1:25 scale.
Although the files are designed for 75mm, these miniatures can be printed to range from 64mm (1:25 scale by scaling the 75mm miniature to 85%) to 80mm (1:20 scale by scaling the 75mm miniature to 106%).
This flexibility allows for varied representation while maintaining a consistent level of detail and proportion.
The actual height of our miniatures varies based on the real-life dimensions of the subjects they represent. For example, a miniature of a shorter person or a creature would be smaller, while a larger figure or creature would be taller.
How does the 1:20 to 1:25 scale work?
In the 1:20 scale, every 1mm on the miniature represents 20mm (or 2cm) in real life, while in the 1:25 scale, every 1mm represents 25mm (or 2.5cm). This range allows for more detailed and larger figures, providing a striking level of detail and presence in any collection.
We have designed and tested any 75mm miniature in the scale range of 64mm (1:25 scale) to 80mm (1:20 scale). It is important to consider the points above when printing in any size larger or smaller. Printing a 75mm Scale Miniature at 64mm: To print a 75mm scale miniature at 64mm, you would scale it down to 85% of its original size. Printing a 75mm Scale Miniature at 80mm: Conversely, to print a 75mm scale miniature at 80mm, you would scale it up to 106% of its original size.
Can I use these miniatures with other models?
Yes! Our 75mm scale miniatures can be integrated with other models in the 1:20 to 1:25 scale range. They provide a larger, more detailed option that complements collections of this scale.
32mm Miniatures (Scale 1:50):
Realistic Look: These miniatures maintain a realistic appearance, but the details are scaled to be just large enough to be visible at this smaller size.
Exaggerated Features: To ensure that small elements like hands and eyes are noticeable and paintable, certain features are exaggerated. This can sometimes result in a slightly "goofy" look if the miniature is printed at a larger size.
Optimal Printing Scale: The 32mm scale is perfect for creating detailed, yet manageable miniatures that are ideal for gaming and display at this size.
75mm Miniatures (Scale 1:20 to 1:25):
Enhanced Realism: At this larger scale, the miniatures have more realistic proportions and intricate details, closer to real-life appearances.
Detailed Composition: While some small details might still be slightly exaggerated to enhance the overall composition and ensure they can be effectively painted, the proportions are more true to life.
Scaling Down Issues: If a 75mm miniature is scaled down to 32mm, there can be significant issues:
Support Failures: The structural supports required for printing may not hold up, leading to print failures.
Fragility: The details may become too thin and prone to breaking.
Visibility: Some details may become too small to be seen clearly with the naked eye.
Which scale should I choose for my miniatures?
32mm Scale: Ideal for tabletop gaming, dioramas, and collections where space is a consideration. Perfect for those who prefer a balance between detail and manageability.
75mm Scale: Best for collectors and painters who appreciate highly detailed and proportionally accurate miniatures. Suitable for display pieces and larger dioramas where intricate details can be fully appreciated.
Yes, you can print the miniatures in different sizes, but there are some important considerations to keep in mind:
What happens if I print the miniatures larger than the original scale?
Detail Enhancement: Larger prints will enhance the details, making them more visible.
Proportions: Some miniatures might look a bit odd when scaled up due to larger hands, eyes, or other features.
Supports: Removing supports can be more challenging because they will be thicker and tougher.
What happens if I print the miniatures smaller than the original scale?
Detail Loss: Smaller prints might lose some of the fine details, making them less visible.
Support Issues: Supports can become too thin and may fail, leading to unsuccessful prints.
Are there any miniatures that work well in different sizes?
Yes, some models are designed in a way that they work well at various scales. However, for the best results, we recommend sticking to the original scale, which has been calibrated and tested for optimal detail and paintability.
We have dedicated extensive time and resources to developing our pipeline and base models.
This includes printing hundreds, if not thousands, of models to perfect their sizes and redesigning supports multiple times to ensure they function perfectly.
Our artists have been compensated for their hard work for some time now. Your support on Patreon is invaluable for helping us expand our offerings and continue creating high-quality miniatures.
Resin 3D printing, also known as stereolithography (SLA) or digital light processing (DLP), is a method of creating three-dimensional objects layer by layer using a liquid resin that hardens when exposed to a light source, typically a UV laser or projector.
This technology is particularly suited for producing detailed miniatures due to its high resolution and precision.
Resin 3D printing offers exceptional detail and smooth surface finishes, making it ideal for creating intricate miniatures with fine features.
How durable are resin miniatures?
Resin miniatures are generally durable but can be brittle compared to plastic miniatures. The durability can vary based on the type of resin used. Tougher resins are recommended for gaming pieces that will experience more handling.
Are resin miniatures safe to handle?
Yes, once fully cured, resin miniatures are safe to handle.
We test our prints with various brands and types of resin and printers to ensure high-quality results. Each brand can perform differently under various conditions such as climate, temperature, and storage. While we don't recommend a specific brand, we suggest experimenting with different resins to find the one that works best for your setup.
From our tests, transparent resins tend to deform models due to their transparency, which allows UV light to leak through, especially with smaller models.
Currently, we primarily use Elegoo ABS-Like Gray resin.
We currently do not offer a commercial license for reselling or sharing our files.
Our miniatures are available for personal use only at this time. For any updates regarding commercial licensing opportunities in the future, please stay tuned by joining our Discord server.
Thank you for your understanding!
