Three Halflings in a Trenchcoat

thingiverse

I recently came across a Reddit thread featuring an idea for a 'Three Halflings in a Trenchcoat' fighter build that left me thoroughly enthused (https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/c6v3e6/oc_three_halflings_in_a_trenchcoat_v2_electric/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share), so I set about crafting a character for an upcoming game. With the kind permission of the author, I added it to D&D Beyond (https://www.dndbeyond.com/subclasses/202599-three-halflings-in-a-trenchcoat), but then discovered that no mini was available. This is my rather rough attempt, and given that others may have found themselves in a similar situation, I wanted to share it. The model itself was created on TinkerCAD, combining three copies of a halfling paladin (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3061575 - edited to remove the greatsword) with a trenchcoat model (from SketchUp gallery, designed by Brian W) and multiple small swords. Given the nature of the character class, I have created two variants: one with the coat closed, concealing the true identity of this awkward creature and one with the coat open, revealing the three armored figures within. Once the truth comes to light, these versions will tell a different story. In early prints, I found that the swords were too thin to print at this scale, so I have rather crudely thickened them into something more like a stave with a handle. At least it should print most of the time. I have printed with support (tree style) and usually standing up. This is very much a work in progress, and I'll aim to return to it. I'd also welcome anyone who would like to remix or simply create a better version! Notes: - For some reason, when slicing to print, my printer tends to remove the end of one sword or the other (although not the same one each time). I'll try to refine the sword design when possible.
