I'm loving these 15mm videos! I made up a 15mm for Five Parsecs and they turned out great. I think the smaller terrain is an underappreciated aspect of 15mm. Much less resin/filament required. I don't use a reference model, but that's a great idea! I've used a 15mm diameter cylinder to scale my models and that seems to work ok.
Yeah the terrain bit is a huge advantage. I recently got pretty tempted to do the same sort of project in 32 mm but then I got to the terrain bit and how much room I’d need to make the same sort of game and gave up 😂
Something that people need to take into account when scaling is if a model has been modelled to have magnets placed in them, than you'll have to use glue which eliminates the possibility of being able to customize models as you may want to do.
This is awesome thanks for the awesome video! I want to print some opr stuff that has tiny bits. Would you recommend enlarging those parts? Also do you literally only run light auto supports and it works most every time? What if you have a failure, how would you adjust?
Do you know if figures printed at 15mm are any more durable than at 32mm? I know some recommend using stronger resin for gaming figures or mixing detail and strength resins.
I normally use abs like resin for my minis. I’d say some of the figures made for the smaller scale might be more durable because they tend not to have lots of little bits sticking out. These ones that I’ve been scaling down probably aren’t more durable, most likely less because of the tiny little parts, but I’ve dropped them a few times and so far they’ve survived.
I've been struggling on whether to do 15mm or 20mm. I know I want smaller scale than 28, for the main reasons of cost, ease of terrain creation, and smaller play space options (like 2x2 or 3x2 options while still having a good army size. Any thoughts on this?
Late reply here, but if you're still struggling, find a free 15mm sized infantry stl. Then use that guy as a reference against the mini you want to resize
I'm getting into downscaled gaming, this was an excellent tutorial, thanks for sharing.

Looks great mate.
This is great thank you!
Awsome man. Ive played tonnes of small scale historical games so Ive always wanted to 15mm some scifi stuff :D
It’s pretty good fun! Far too addictive though 😂

Great video. 15mm scale is the best scale in my humble opinion.
It’s a great scale. Just enough size to get some detail and small enough to have some really big games!
Exactly what I wanted to learn about just now 😁👍
Awesome! Glad it came in helpful 😄
Love the 15mm,do more.
I shall be 😄

That rotating disc is really nice for your paint cubicle! Where did you get that? 😊
What if you don't know the scale of the model?
