Oxen - Dragon Hunters - 28mm Gaming

thingiverse

My friend Danny, aka 3D Printed Tabletop, is leading an amazing Lost Dragons Kickstarter, and I'm busy creating a series of scatter-themed items inspired by a caravan of Dragon Hunters. These items will be released as I complete them. The caravan needs to be heavily armored to withstand the ferocity of dragons, and it requires powerful beasts of burden to pull it through the countryside. To meet this need, I upgraded an existing oxen model with added details and yoked it to another of its kind. Instead of a complex harness or modular system, I opted for simplicity, allowing players to print multiple sets of these guys and have them appear harnessed together or use the oxen for other tasks without a shared system. The file pack includes an unyoked oxen model without the ring in its nose, providing more flexibility. Please note that my paint job is a bit rough due to the use of apple barrel paint and cheap metallics with no thinning. These models require support during printing, and I recommend using high infill levels or outer perimeters to avoid weak points in the legs. If you're not careful during support removal, the legs might break, but a dab of super glue can easily fix them. Be sure to check out the Lost Dragons Kickstarter if you haven't already, and don't forget to follow EC3D on Facebook for more exciting new models!
