Spanish Artillery Crew STLs

These are DIGITAL files meant for 3D printing. They ARE NOT physical miniatures!

Sculpted by the incomparable Erramir Orlan of Peculiar Companions, these Spanish Artillery Crew are intended for armies from the 15th and 16th Centuries. There are four unique models, a commander, gunner, and two loaders. All models come as both pre-supported and unsupported STL files.

The 15th and 16th centuries were marked by significant historical events, including the Age of Exploration, colonial expansion, and conflicts that reshaped the world. The Spanish Artillery Crew played a pivotal role during this period of exploration, conquest, and military innovation.
