Middle-earth Human Sentinel

Cloaked ranger miniature with staff and fur collar. Prints clean on FDM or resin. Includes base, pre-split parts, and scale presets for RPG and display.

Bring a touch of quiet menace to your table. The Middle-earth-inspired Human Sentinel arrives cloaked, lantern-jawed, and ready to guide (or mislead) your party through cold mountain passes. Bold, readable forms—layered leathers, fur collar, travel pouches—make him pop from across the board and paint up fast. Drop him in as a ranger hireling, border warden, or the stoic quest-giver who knows the old roads better than anyone.

Built for both gaming and display, the sculpt holds detail at 28–32 mm yet scales beautifully to 75–90 mm for painters. The stone-paver base anchors the pose and tells a story without clutter—perfect on a shelf, in a detolf, or at the head of your warband.

FDM (0.4 mm nozzle)

• Layer height: 0.16–0.20 mm, 3–4 walls, 15–22% gyroid
• Orientation: body upright; staff printed separately flat or diagonal
• Minimal supports: under cloak hem, inside armpit, staff tip if printed attached
• Built-in keys: 3–4 mm pegs with 0.2 mm clearance (staff hand, head/neck, cloak tabs)
• Reinforced thin areas (belt straps, pouch flaps ≥1.6 mm)

Resin

• Angle 20–30 degree off plate, face slightly up; raise base 6–8 mm
• Medium tips (0.3–0.4 mm): underside of cloak, staff head, boot arches
• Light tips (0.2–0.3 mm): fur collar edges, pouch corners, finger islands
• Layer height: 0.03–0.05 mm; short, even post-cure to keep the staff resilient

Painting quick-start

• Zenithal prime (black → grey → ivory)
• Leathers: warm browns, then sepia wash; edge with khaki
• Fur collar: grey-brown with cool highlights for cold-weather feel
• Cloak: deep green/charcoal; final satin varnish on boots & staff wrap, matte on fabrics
