May is here which means that it is time for another round of 3D printed miniatures to sum up April. Did you know that 1.5 3D printed miniatures are added in Gambody’s official Facebook group on average every day? This is a great achievement we’re really proud of and we want to thank you each and every one of you for sharing your outstanding results with our community. Trust us, your efforts are not left unnoticed.
As most of you already know, every video you share of the 3D printed figurine you purchase from Gambody is rewarded with up to 50% discount. So, don’t be shy, spread the love you have for 3D printing with all of us.
Which are the 3D miniatures that made it to the list the previous month, you’re wondering? Let us all see them bundled in this blog post.
Old Kratos
It is likely that being a half god has played a significant role in his popularity among 3D printing enthusiasts. But we want to believe that it is actually his looks that contributed to his 3D model being replicated so many times in a one-month timeframe.
Old Kratos, as you can find him on our marketplace, is a part of a larger diorama which, if completed, will include his son, Atreus, as well. Both characters are depicted swimming on a boat.
Whether you decide to scale it up or down, for extra effect, the result will not disappoint. Sam Fenimore and Gergely Javor can prove it with pictures.
Javor scaled the mode down to 75%. Even so, the model didn’t lose any of its surface detail.

Star Wars X-Wing
The best thing about 3D printing is that you can never have two identical items. They are customizable, of course, if you have some 3D modelling knowledge. But you can also customize them when painting them. Be it painted in all colours, or simply coated in a luxurious silver paint, you can customize 3D printing miniatures according to your own likings. This is what a Gambody customer has done. The X-Wing miniature looks as if cast in silver.
Don’t you agree?
Maker: Scon
Pickle Rick
Pickle Riiiiiiiiiick! You all know the story behind this crazy character that turns into a pickle to avoid family therapy. About two months ago, Gambody covered a detailed interview with the first customer who recreated Pickle Rick miniature. If you missed the piece, you can read it here.
We can hardly wait to see what this replica will look like when painted. Until then, however, let us all look at its amazing shapes in the short video below.
Maker: Nicolas Michaut
Battlecruiser
We all have been waiting for this to happen for a long time. Every time you go beyond your capabilities and create something that cannot be explained in words is magical. We’re pretty sure most of those who have seen the Battlecruiser miniature with all the special effects, such as the lights, will surprise us in the near future with replicas as cool as this one.
We won’t deny! There’s a lot of work and effort to make something like this. But believe us, in the end, all your efforts will pay off.
We’ll be waiting for the next 50 cm long Battlecruiser to be shared with us in our Facebook Group and we bet it will not take too long.

Thanos
Thanos appeared on Gambody 3D printing marketplace in time for the release of the new Avengers: Infinity War movie. He is a villain from the planet of Titan, eager to collect all six of the Infinity Stones to re-balance the Universe. This is where all the Marvel superheroes gather together to stop Thanos from bringing chaos into the Universe and a battle that no man has seen yet starts. How it ends, you should go to the theatres to find out. In the meantime, however, check the bust of Thanos, 3D printed and painted to recreate the movie character as close to the reality as possible.

Lich King
The fictional character from Warcraft video game series was first known as Arthas Menethil. He once was an apprentice paladin, with beautiful future to reign over Lordaeron. However, it was not meant to be. He became the most known antagonist of Warcraft and the evilest being in Azeroth.
You can recreate this amazing character on your 3D printer. Warcraft toy is available at Gambody in two different poses. Both 3D printing miniatures are adapted to be replicated on FDM/DLP/SLA/SLS printers. Assembly is required for both but you will find detailed instructions on how to do it on the models’ pages.

From the realm of Diablo video game comes down Imperius, the Archangel of Valor. Embodying the good, Archangel is in continuous conflict with Diablo, representing Heaven and Hell.

Batman Ninja
Batman Ninja brings another design approach to the cult superhero. The Japanese wanted to make it relate to their culture and they decided to fix his bat costume and dress him as a Ninja. There’s already an animated superhero film featuring the beloved character, released in the U.S. on April 24, 2018.
Thus, if you skipped the movie, don’t skip this 3D printing miniature as it will make a great partner for the classic Batman.

The Lord of Darkness Bust
From the darkest of places, from the abyss of death, where not even a ray of sun can protrude through the thick blackness comes the Lord of Darkness. As the master of the underworld, this guy has all mortals on a string.
It might seem that nothing can overcome him. However, we all have our weaknesses and the Lord of Darkness is no exception. If you want to threaten him, use any source of light or carry sunlight in a vial and you’ll be safe.
The bust is inspired by the fantasy film Legend character.

Freddy Krueger
One, two, Freddy’s coming for you.
Three, four, Better lock your door
Five, six, grab a crucifix.
Seven, eight, Gonna stay up late.
Nine, ten, Never sleep again…
We can honestly say that every time we heard this poem coming out from the TV screen, we were terrified. Many nights were spent with the light on.
And the guys who replicated Freddy miniature did a really nice job bringing back unpleasant memories from our young age. Their Freddy’s look exactly like the Freddy from A Nightmare on Elm Street. However, it is good to know that this Freddy miniature can do no harm.

Maker: Thomas Roßkamp
Warrior Bug
As if hellish, nightmarish and scary characters weren’t enough, Gambody contributing 3D artists decided to throw some bug ‘flavour’.
However, these warrior bugs cannot be stepped on and killed so easily. They’re powerful fighting machines with a high killing output. They’re the perfect army for fighting against the enemy.
