I've already posted loads of photos of the Red Copper Camels that Harry @Mightllittlemen on Instagram printed for me a while ago, but here are some more, just a bit further away..
These were printed at 90% of the "recommended" 15mm nominal scale - I made sure to glue the "threes" of them all together at the rump or neck as well to generate more stability and robustness on each base. The bases all have a layer of metal in them too for extra weight.
As I'd already spent ages doing the last batch with a layered painting style I decided to bash these ones out a little quicker, as I suspect they will be my second-string camels (
is that a thing?) that only get used when I try to put an all-camel force on table.
Irritatingly they seem to have come out pretty much the same as the ones I slaved over for hours - perhaps its my eyesight, or just the 90% thing means they are that bit further away so you can't easily see where I've been careless with the paint !
At 90% they did become even more fragile, and one particular design seemed to struggle to correctly print its forelegs - you'll see in the photos some of the camels have large bits of vegetation in front of them, which is covering the missing legs and also the metal pin I had to drill into their underbellys to get them to stand up.
Here they are next to the 100% boys.
This angle looks like it shows quite a noticable difference, but some of that may be a visual trick due to the tall spear on the larger print.
Mixed together here they seem fine to use as a mass.
