Beautiful detailed model by Spacerobot775, but when I printed it, all the stones were detached and the model came undone,as it were, printing above the base. Three of the stones were actually a mm or so above the base. LESSON LEARNED - run an mesh analyzer before printing. I brought the model into Meshmixer, brought the floating stones back into the base and made it into one solid piece.
I wanted a smaller model (running out of space) so I scaled the whole thing to about 100mm and added a retaining ring sort of like a curb. Came out OK with a bit of stringing. Probably look much better printed at a larger scale, but I'm happy enough with the end results.
Changed color at the beginning of the stones and added some model railroad grass just to finish it off. Probably give it a matte spray to get rid of the shine.
