  • Every time we visit the studio of Weta Workshop sculptor Johnny Fraser-Allen, he blows our minds with his newest tabletop miniature builds. In this most recent visit, Johnny shows Adam the follow up to his Hagglethorn Hollow city: a dense wilderness scratch built with modular buildings, trees, and hand crafted terrain. Johnny invites Adam to help dress this miniature fantasy world, the components of which were just made available in a new Printable Scenery campaign!
    Johnny's hand-sculpted dragon castle in this video is available for 3D printing as part of his current 'Gloaming Swamps and Wilderness' campaign on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

      The pieces are fantastic.

      @emceedoctorb3022 Рік тому +1

      As a gamer I can tell you now that table would be a nightmare to play on. Yeah it looks stunning but wargaming tables need to be relatively flat to be able to get the models to actually stand up. You would spend half the time trying to your models to not fall over and this would be even worse for games that need the models to be ranked up like classic Warhammer or Kings of War or historical games like Hail Caesar or Napoleonics. It would work as a skirmish table but anything more than that it is completely impractical.
