Coastal Gun Facility – WWI, WWII & Cold War Era (3D Printed Model, Dual-Color for France & Japan)
Defend your shores and control vital sea lanes with this 3D printed Coastal Gun Installation, a detailed multi-era fortification perfect for Axis & Allies and Global War board games. Designed for use across World War I, World War II, and the Cold War, this versatile model represents the imposing coastal defense batteries built by nations to deter naval invasions and protect key ports and harbors.
This model captures the look of a fortified coastal emplacement, featuring reinforced concrete walls, armored gun turrets, rangefinders, and observation posts — all carefully detailed for tabletop use. Its dual-color print design allows instant recognition for national use: blue tones for France, evoking the Atlantic Wall and Mediterranean defenses, and rustic orange hues for Japan, reminiscent of Pacific island fortifications and homeland coastal batteries.
Gameplay Use:
Ideal for use as a strategic objective, shore defense installation, or heavy artillery position in Axis & Allies and Global War scenarios. The Coastal Gun Facility adds tactical depth — representing coastal bombardment defense.
Printing & Assembly:
- Printed in two national color schemes (France and Japan) for immediate tabletop readiness.
- Works seamlessly with resin or FDM printers; minimal cleanup or supports needed.
- Durable construction suitable for repeated gameplay handling.
Painting & Detailing Suggestions:
While playable right out of the printer, you can enhance realism with dry brushing and weathering. Use muted concrete greys for European installations or warm sandy tones for Pacific island defenses. Adding rust streaks, camo netting, or vegetation will bring your fortification to life.
Durable, thematic, and authentically styled, this Coastal Gun Facility is a striking addition to any Axis & Allies or Global War setup — a symbol of strength guarding the frontiers of France and Japan through decades of global conflict.
