Military Research Facility – WWI, WWII & Cold War Era (3D Printed Model).
Expand your Axis & Allies and Global War battlefields with this detailed 3D printed Military Research Facility, a versatile structure suitable for any nation across multiple eras — from World War I through the Cold War. Designed as a generic yet realistic installation, this model represents the secretive heart of military innovation: a complex where scientists, engineers, and military planners develop new technologies, from early chemical warfare experiments and radar prototypes to jet engines, rocketry, and nuclear research.
The model features a combination of industrial and military architectural elements — reinforced concrete walls, observation towers, ventilation stacks, and storage annexes — giving it a believable presence in both historical and alternate-history settings. Its neutral design allows it to fit seamlessly into European, Pacific, or Cold War-era theaters, making it an ideal addition for any faction or scenario.
Gameplay Use:
In Axis & Allies and Global War, this structure can serve as a custom research center, strategic objective, or special industrial complex. Use it to represent advanced technology development, secret weapons projects, or national research bonuses during gameplay.
Printing & Assembly:
- Optimized for 3D printing in resin or FDM.
- Prints cleanly in 1/72 scale, with crisp details and minimal supports required.
- Easy to paint and customize — add decals, weathering, or camouflage for era-specific realism.
Painting Suggestions:
Use muted greys, olive drabs, or concrete tones for a WWII look, or cooler metallics and faded blues for a Cold War aesthetic. Adding weathering, rust effects, or overgrown vegetation can create a more atmospheric, battle-worn appearance.
Durable, detailed, and historically flexible, this Military Research Facility makes an excellent centerpiece or objective marker for your tabletop wargames, blending realism with strategic purpose across decades of global conflict.
