Baba Yaga's Hut


Baba Yaga is a figure from Slavic folklore, a witch who lived in the forest, sometimes malicious and sometimes benign. She is often described as living in a hut that walks on great chicken legs.

This is a 3d printed 28mm model from Printable Scenery; it costs about thirteen YankeeBucks. I printed it at 0.2mm layer height in eSun PLA on my Ender 3. Altogether, there's probably about 40 hours of printing in it.

The model does have some (minimal) interior detail, and the roof is removable, but I doubt that I'll make use of it. I have magnetized the legs and glued a thin steel sheet to the bottom of the hut, so I can separate it from its legs if need be.

The model comes with STLs for a couple of roof spire decorations as well, but I  think they'd be pretty fragile printed in FDM and I haven't printed either of them.

The figure between the chicken feet, for scale, is the trusty Sergeant Measureby with his Spear of 5mm Increments.

More Printable Scenery

I've been making a lot of use of Printable Scenery's range of 3d printable buildings for my 15mm wargaming terrain. Up until now, they've been supplied as multi-piece models, one piece per floor and the roof, and with some interior detail. Now they've updated the file sets to include single-piece solid alternatives of the same models.

It is certainly useful to have models on the tabletop which you can put figures inside, but most of the time it's not necessary. So it's useful to have alternative one-piece models available that match the hollow versions, and are both easier to handle and quicker to print and paint. Because they're alternates for existing hollow models, it's a simple matter to swap them out on the tabletop if it becomes necessary.

I think this one is their French Farmhouse.
