For printing miniatures, we always recommend RESIN 3D printers as they provide exceptional detail and a smooth surface finish. Our models have been tested on the Anycubic Photon Mono M5s and Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K printers. We do not use FDM (filament) printing technology or other materials and therefore cannot provide support for those types of printers.
SLICER SOFTWARE
We recommend using Chitubox for its user-friendly interface, automatic support generation, advanced scaling options, and professional tools for preparing models for printing.
SCALING
Most of our models scale exceptionally well both up and down without noticeable loss of quality. All models are created at the scale specified in their listing; however, users have successfully printed them in scales ranging from 1:72 up to 1:6.
SUPPORT REMOVAL AND CLEANUP
To make support removal easier, we recommend soaking the model in warm water for 5–10 minutes. After this treatment, supports can usually be removed much more easily and leave fewer marks on the model's surface.
After removing the supports, the model should be thoroughly cleaned. Excellent results can be achieved by soaking the print for 30–60 minutes in Mean Green or a similar cleaning solution, followed by an additional 15–30 minute rinse in Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA).
REQUESTS & SUGGESTIONS
While we do not accept custom orders, we are always happy to hear your ideas for new models you'd like to see in our store. Simply send us a description or a reference image, and we will consider adding the project to our production schedule.
We truly enjoy helping bring creative ideas to life and expanding our catalog based on community feedback and suggestions.
Description
According to the medieval chronicle The Tale of Bygone Years (Primary Chronicle), the Pechenegs, led by Khan Kurya, ambushed Prince Svyatoslav near the Dnieper Rapids.
After spending the winter in Biloberezhzhia, Svyatoslav and his retinue attempted to continue their journey in the spring of 972 AD. A battle with the Pechenegs took place near the Dnieper Rapids, in which Svyatoslav was killed.
The chronicle also relates that Khan Kurya had a drinking cup made from Svyatoslav’s skull. This story is associated with a steppe tradition in which a vessel made from the remains of a defeated and respected enemy could symbolize the transfer of that warrior’s courage, strength, and martial qualities to the victor.
This legendary chronicle account inspired the composition of the miniature: Khan Kurya raises the skull cup, surrounded by objects designed to evoke the life and material culture of the medieval steppe.
About the Model
This model was created as a highly detailed historical composition for collectors, miniature painters, diorama builders, and anyone interested in the medieval history and culture of Eastern Europe.
DIGITAL PRODUCT — NO PHYSICAL ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED.
You are purchasing a digital STL file for 3D printing. The final quality of the printed model will depend on your 3D printer, resin or filament, slicer settings, selected scale, and post-processing.
Perfect for:
Historical miniature collections
Medieval and steppe dioramas
Resin or FDM 3D printing
Miniature painting
Collector displays
Gifts for history and scale-modeling enthusiasts
Important
This is a digital download only. You are purchasing an STL file for personal 3D printing, not a finished physical figurine.
The composition is an artistic interpretation of a medieval chronicle account. The clothing, weapons, household objects, and other visual elements should not be considered an exact archaeological reconstruction.
