Elven Ruins from GameScenery

My Arwen Undómiel miniature from GW had me thinking of Elvish architecture, and I found a very nice elven circular ruined tower from www.gamescenery.com.

This model has the graceful arches, columns and circular style I've come to expect from Elvish buildings.

While it is a 3D print, the lines are very fine and I expect to hit it with a coat of Tetrion/plaster filler once I've sanded and primed it. There was a good deal of printer flash around the base, but it comes off nicely - the scraps are mostly whole, as can be seen in the piccies. Also, one needs to keep an eye out for small "whiskers", where the plastic was drawn out in a fine spider line.

As it happens, I have two other models from GameScenery - a set of side ruins, which I use for set pieces in Arthedain. These are two years old and have a rougher, "linear" texture compared to this newer model.

Nice to see the 3D printer tech improving.
