My Next Batch of Temu Purchases

 As a reminder, I ordered this 3d printed terrain from Temu about a week ago, and it turned up on my doorstep today




Pack One the $9.72 set




Red Army officer to give idea of scale



Pack Two - the $12.23 set



Not sure how that happened, I was sure I took a picture of the third box!


Anyway, these are the contents, the $13.49 set




Here is the full collection in an A4 file box - the quality of these is very good, considering the whole lot cost about £15 or US$25! Now, all I need to do is slap some paint on them - and now I know this is the quality, I may look at getting some more pieces (although the choice is quite limited, to be honest - but there is a nice "mansion" and church for around $30 each that I might get next time! 

Off to a 28mm early WW2 game tomorrow, so I expect I will have an AAR for you all in around 26 hours' time!

    1. Cheers Scotty - I am sure there is much better 3d terrain out there - but not at that price! Now, if the Chinese suppliers selling via Temu would just start printing off 28mm T34's for $10 each, I would be sorted!

  3. I can't believe the whole lot cost about £15.00!!! Excellent quality and easy to kit bash pieces should you so wish. Personally I'd give them a wash first, even though they probably don't need it, but just to be sure the primer adheres well.

    1. Thanks, Steve - it's a pretty reasonable stash for the money, isn't it?! Funnily enough, before sitting down to check the blog, I just did give them all a wash with hot, soapy water! I usually do that with hard plastic figures and kits too, although I don't always remember!

  4. There are certainly some good scenarios ahead, made possible by the ruins in the order. A lot of scratch building time saved.

    1. Thanks Joe, I could never create anything this good scratch building, although unruined Russian huts and possibly city ruins are still on the scratch building cards!

  6. Good looking 3d prints, great for the money! They would combine well with the foamboard type models we were discussing?

    1. Thanks Iain! Funnily enough, Temu can even supply foam board and considerably less than a local store would do!

  10. With the amount of 3D printed products you are purchasing I wonder if you are getting close to investing in a 3D printer? I have purchased a fair bit of Jens Najewitz Modellbau stuff and wish now I had bought a printer. I see he is now branching out into fantasy as well.

    1. Thanks Lawrence, I won't be getting a printer, I don't think. From what I have heard/read, you need at least a modicum of IT savvy (and possibly a fair bit) to get the settings right etc - its not like using a photocopier (unfortunately!) Also, the raw materials involved are quite nasty DG's by the sound of it, which it might be better NOT having in your internal access garage?!

    2. It is the constant false starts before you master what is going on that put me off. Like you, I'm happy to pay the extra for someone else to print it if I see something I like.

  11. Great investment Keith.
    The one with the stair case looks to be excellent. A great design for wargaming as it is easy to get into the lower floor -- even if the second floor is attached.

    1. Thanks Ben - yes, I think that ruined building is the better quality of everything I bought, which is reflected in the price (even though it is still not a huge amount!)

  12. They do look pretty cool. Looking forward to see some paint on them.
