Winterdale Small Cottage

This unique house is from Printable Scenery called the Winterdale Small Cottage; you can visit their website at www.printablescenery.com . This product is delivered as a .ZIP file pack containing STL files for use on a home 3D Printer. The files are set to 28mm scale but can be rescaled before printing. We have printed this building on our Ender 3 using eSUN PLA+ Filament plastic, to use for Frostgrave and DnD.

The roof we choose reminds me of a Japanese roof due to its shape and big beam running across the top. I love the amount of detail Printable Scenery puts into their work and is continually getting better.

The Winterdale Small Cottage is a five-part building with an optional removable door and a fully-modelled interior. The Winterdale buildings are designed to be glued and placed together.

I painted this piece in September of 2019 and used the Monte Morte paint range and Citadel lead belcher. I primed this piece with vehicle primer filler to cover some of the prints layer lines then under coated in flat black. For the wood I have dry brushed in Monte Morte burnt sienna and then dry brushed with Monte Morte yellow ochre. The roof has been painted with Monte Morte Phthalo blue, then dry brushed with Monte Morte Cobalt blue. For the stone I dry brushed with Monte Morte paynes grey first then made a mix of two parts grey and one-part white, dry brushed with this then again made a mix of two parts grey and two parts white and again dry brushed. After that I dry brushed with the Monte Morte titanium white to finish the stone look. The silver is a mix of Monte Morte silver and lamp black on the windows and door, for the reverts I used citadel lead belcher. I have used an Army Painter cream for the render.

I am looking into how to incorporate ways to light up the inside of all my buildings. I still need to do all the weathering and foliage on every print.
