Small rifle pit, timber reinforced
As with most of our designs they originate from commission requests or our own projects. This item started from my desire to put on a game for friends focusing on the Pacific Theatre of Operations. I purchased an Island Assault set from a well known manufacturer and loved the scenic extras they included. This prompted me to want more and so I designed some additional rifle pits to frustrate my opponents and defend my outnumbered forces.
This listing offers 2 basic rifle pits but with options on how to present them. The pits are roughly 40mm in diameter.. The pits are low to the ground to visually represent a dug in position for a single man. The open topped pit with a 15mm square open area is intended for you to added your own converted upper body of a figure armed and ready to defend his patch of earth. The 2 part covered pit is intended for you to add your open weapon from your "Bitz" box. I have provided 2 weapon files intended to be slotted into the jungle leaf cover pit. These need as low a layer height as you can manage or print in resin.
The files which do not have jungle leaves on can be printed at 0.15mm layer height if you want a short print. I would recommend using 0.1mm layer height. I have printed these pits on an Ender 3 at a print speed of 45.
The files which offer a camouflaged pit concealed by jungle leaves must be printed at 0.1mm layer height or if you really want to capture the detail 0.06mm I did turn the print speed down to 30 when doing these.
Cleaning the models does need some care when pulling the support material away from the leaves. Do this slowly, cut down away from the leaf.
