World War 2 Wargaming Models for 3D Printing

The Regelbau Bunker program was a massive building works undertaken by the German and Axis forces of World War 2. The word Regelbau means 'Standard Design'. Part of this program was to standardise the designs of each bunker so that it can be quickly and easily recreated in any position suitable while being familiar to the soldiers no matter where on the line they are posted.

There are key advantages to standardising the design: 
- Firstly you can retain the features that are proven to be good and true when building new bunkers. 
- Mass production can be employed for all the parts that are not concrete, such as doors, ventilation, and armour components. 
- It allows for an easy survey of a site and allows a more optimal layout of bunker forts. 
- Provides a logistical advantage in making sure the right materials are in the right place and the right skills are there to build them. 


The Regelbau Bunker models were one of the first major product lines that we created, these STL designs existed before Digital Taxidermy was formed while we were still learning our craft in the days before. Since then, we have added a massive range of bunker STL files to the inventory, some have been requested and others we have done simply because we love the look of them. 

With our models we have covered a huge range of Regelbau bunkers used in the Atlantik wall, coastal batteries and inland defences across war torn Europe. The model ranges cover the coastal battery at Longues-Sur-Mere and Merville in France. We also have bunkers that were positioned in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and other highly fortified locations. We even have a coastal gun that is a model of a bunker mounted gun from the battleship Gneisenau.


Our Regelbau bunker STL designs are modelled in such a way that you can recreate the models in scales from 15mm upwards on an FDM printer, we have even printed some on FDM for epic scale or 1/1250, 1/300.

What other Regelbau Bunkers would you like to see, contact us and see if we can make it for you.

Like the German emplacements we have looked at the home front and brought to life the iconic symbols of wartime Britain, the pillbox. 
These blockhouses or dug in concrete guard posts are prevalent across Great Britain, especially in the south where invasion was most expected. These simple constructions have loopholes that allow the defenders to fire out. The basics of the design are to replicate a trench firing step but more hardened to protect the defenders against small arms fire and grenades. 
Its origins began on the western front in World War one and became a standard for defensive positions in England during world war 2. 
Pillboxes are mostly concrete but can also be made from bricks or concrete blocks, often made as prefab structures for easy production and distribution. 

We have a range of design classics of the British pillbox including the  type 22 and type 24 hexagonal-ish blockhouse deigns. then there is a type 28 artillery embrasure and the type 25 prefab sentry box. 

We also have a larger British emplacement in the form of Princess Anne's Battery from Gibraltar

If you can think of any that you would like a model of them please do contact us with your requests and we will see if we can do it for you.

A big part of a WW2 battlefield is the heavy weapons and artillery. They often take the form as objectives, 'take out that gun', clear that emplacement or destroy that battery. 

Thus, they are a perfect accompaniment to your bunker forts as well as support weaponry for your army. While we don't have just WW2 Artillery it does form most of the field guns in our store. 

We have a range of Russian Field Guns and heavy artillery to support your army. There is a range of German field Guns and some from the British that you can wheel about the battlefields. 

Then we have a range of larger artillery guns that are more suited for fixed positions and coastal defence ranging from 120mm and larger.

The tanks are the land battleship brought into existence in the battlefields of the first world war. First seen at the battle of Cambrai the tanks genesis has taken many forms as the battle between weapons, armour and machinery play out to find the perfect balance of protection, firepower, and manoeuvrability. 

The second World War saw the development of the tank explode into a mainstay of the battlefield and a tactical asset working alongside infantry and independently. 

We have a large range of WW2 Tank models in our library that cover the Russian and German main tanks of the era. We have tigers, panzers, elephants and then the indominatable T-34 and the KV-1 and 2.

The battlefields were not only taken by the tank, but there were also vast logistical chains used to move the big guns around, take troops from here to there and just lug supplies and materiel to the front lines. 

We have a set of models that fill these roles as well. From the iconic Hanumag to the Stalinets artillery tractors and motorbike infantry we have those models from the side-lines that will help to add a new diversity to your army and your battlefield setting.

The battle for the skies was fraught and bitter, from single seater fighters to massive bombers with a crew of ten or more men. 

The planes that made up this war as well are able to represent on your tabletop and can either take part in the fight or just make up the scenery should you want to build an airfield or the like.

Battlefields don't just end with those that fight over it but there is also a focus on what you are fighting over, a town, a crossroad, or a farmhouse. Not only are there buildings but also there are small items like rushed barricades, tank obstacles and more. 
These items of set dressing help to bring your battlefield to life and give you a more real feel to everything. 

We have a large range of buildings and scatter that is suitable for WW2 European battlefields.
