16:1 Scale Landscape Blocks

thingiverse

These blocks are precise replicas of the large 2' x 2' x 4' concrete blocks used in my retaining wall design. These blocks appear to be a standard product offered by multiple vendors, making them easily accessible and convenient to use. We found these blocks particularly useful when laying out the wall, especially where multiple walls intersect. The .scad file provided allows you to adjust the proportions of the blocks to suit your specific needs. In our case, we required 16 blocks (four separate builds) to accurately model the intersection of two curved walls. You can create a scaled plan on cardboard and place the blocks on top to visualize the interplay between the structures.
