The printing files for this outstanding piece of wargaming terrain are available on thingiverse.com<\/a> along with several other very nice models for small-scale wargames like BattleTech or Epic. FOR FREE!!! So a big thank-you to all the designers who share their models with people who are not so gifted in computer-aided design (CAD).
\nThe Nuclear Power Plant<\/a> consists of three different buildings: an office building, a reactor facility and a cooling tower. 3D-printing can sometimes be tricky. The reactor facility took me three attempts unless I had a finished model, however, the office building and the tower caused no problems at all. The cooling tower alone is a massive thing, more than twice as tall as a BattleMech on the field.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While the cooling tower has the definite eye-catching ability, smaller and simpler designs help to make the terrain much more diverse and to bring more tactial options to the game. The Expendable Office Building<\/a> is only one example of many simpler designs which can be found on thingiverse.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One building takes one to two hours to print and\u00a0 can be expanded with additional printouts. In the picture you see one main building and one expansion attached to it. I can already see complete city blocks made of these. Printed in grey filament it is not really necessary to paint them, I think, but glueing them on some hex bases might be a good idea. But for now they are awaiting their first battle…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
