The Future is Here

I don't mean Covid-19. 

As part of the Gallipoli campaign, I created a model of Sedd el Bahr Fort. The fort overlooked V Beach at Cape Helles. Here is a photo of the model:

Thanks to photogrammetry, it has been possible to transform the model into a 3D image for printing. Here is how the software recreated the model from 42 photos taken with an iPhone, each photo taken from a different angle:

And here is a view of the STL model, ready to 3D print:

And the final 3D print, hot off the printer (literally) this morning. The base measures 3" x 3":

Back to the original, here are Baccus Middle East WW1 figures trying to get off V Beach under fire from the fort:

Wow that is nice. Are you using a resin printer?

Yes, it is an SLA resin printer. Specifically a Formlabs Form 3 but a MARS or equivalent would be just as good (and cheaper).
