A day in the office...

Continuing my 15mm scenery theme, I've printed a collection of office furniture from EC3D, rescaled to 56% original (28mm) size.

L-shaped desks.

The set includes large L-shaped desks for the hard-working office staff.  These are designed to print end-on, flat on the build plate, with no additional supports required.  This gives a very clean finish with minimal clean-up required before painting.

Straight desks.

There are smaller desks for the less important staff.

The desks include detailed keyboards and other features.  Some have a slot for a screen, rather than printing these, I'm going to cut some from clear plastic packaging and paint on some details with inks or translucent contrast paints.

The office chairs that come with the set are very neat, with lots of detail that shows up well when given an ink wash.

Red office chairs.

All the chairs were painted silver with a black ink wash, then had the seat, back and arm cushions painted in khaki.

I've tried various Army Painter Speedpaints and Vallejo Xpress paints for the cushions, and a couple were just given a sepia ink wash.

The desks were painted Vallejo cold grey with a Vallejo stonewall grey drybrush.  The keyboards were flooded with a black ink wash to enhance the contrast.   The hex patterned areas were painted with Vallejo Xpress Snake Green.

Popping some of these desks and chairs in my MDF buildings really adds character.
