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
Add a bold, cinematic character to your tabletop with this Pirate with Cutlass miniature. The raised blade and confident stance make it perfect as a boarding raider, gang leader, loot guardian, or a key NPC in port and ship-deck scenarios.
Historical Background (Era)
This miniature is inspired by the Golden Age of Piracy (roughly 1650–1730), when Atlantic trade routes—especially around the Caribbean—were packed with valuable cargo. Colonial wars, privateering, harsh naval discipline, and limited opportunities for sailors after conflicts helped fuel piracy in remote waters where enforcement was weak.
In reality, “treasure” often meant captured goods rather than mythic piles of gold: sugar, rum, tobacco, textiles, cocoa, silver coinage, and weapons were all common prizes. A weapon-ready pirate figure fits naturally into boarding actions, coastal raids, and stash-defense storylines.
Perfect for
Wargames: boarding actions, port raids, scenario objectives, leader/elite fighter.
