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.

Supports: not included
Commercial use: not allowed
Digital product only – no physical item shipped
Historical Background: The Age of Pikemen
Pikemen dominated European battlefields from the 16th to the mid-17th century, forming disciplined formations capable of stopping cavalry charges.
Key historical milestones:
1477 – Swiss pikemen rise to prominence
1494–1559 – Italian Wars
1568–1648 – Eighty Years’ War
1618–1648 – Thirty Years’ War
Late 17th century – Pike replaced by musket with bayonet
The pikeman represents a crucial stage in the evolution of modern infantry warfare.
