The Hollowoak - Modular Cottage Structure And Gargantuan Tree

Part of Tribes and Patreon November 2026 release.

This set is part of The Hollowoak Bundle.

All the models are test printed in resin and presupported when needed.

 - The Hollowoak Structure. This is modular in length and width, and it has a large array of variant pieces: you can make it as long or short as you like, you can make it thinner by removing the top section of the trunk (or potentially wider by using two or more pieces of that same section), and you can choose between different options for the main trunk walls. Whether you want natural growths, branches, windows and balconies, or a simpler trunk, you will be able to make this structure as "worked" or as natural as you need.

The structure has interior walls too that - given the rounder structure and the texture on the outside - are not tiled but "free". This way you can make rooms as large or as small as you like while keeping the curve of the model and the exterior texture of the trunk correctly flowing. I suggest gluing at least one piece of these walls to one of the floor tiles, and use that as a stable standing base for their magnetized modular structure. Same goes for the walls on the upper level, but if you'd rather have a single open space you can skip that part completely and have a long domed structure.

The main purpose of the set, of course, is that of being a sort of cozy house carved inside a fallen tree trunk, but, thanks to a few joining pieces, you can make a complete gargantuan trunk out of it. Placed on the battlefield, it will make encounters in the fey plane or a primeval jungle memorable for sure. In any case, if the hobbit like style of this building is not to your taste, you can print only the natural parts of the set and use it as an unconventional cave, a witch's hut, a forest creature hidden shelter; it is up to your fancy! Whether you print the fully round thing or just a tree-carved structure as in this render, I think it would be a great environment centerpiece for a green dragon den!

For this set I didn't use the OpenLOCK tiling for the walls with the aim to increase the modularity/versatility of it all: basically, the walls will join the floors via magnets (or glue, of course), but if you keep them separated, you'll be able to switch from a structure with a floor to the full natural trunk by using the floor fillers. You print the structure once, you have two different uses for it. Since some of you asked for it: there is also an option for floor tiles without the standard OpenLOCK hourglass shaped supports for easier cleaning. You can find more info on all of this in the instructions.

Oh, and the large branch stump that you can see on the roof, while totally optional, is compatible with the Trees of the Eternal Vigil. This means that potentially you can have that tree standing on top of this structure, vertically, and have an Elven style platform on top of this structure. That would make for even a more interesting location, with stuff you may have already printed :) Plus, with this set we also have a broken tree "cap" option for that Tree of the Eternal Vigil set.

Finally, I realized at this point that you can have one extra use for the structure: by placing the trunk vertically on the ground you can have a truly gargantuan tree section that can represent that standing tree (although without visible conical roots). Maybe your players are hunting a flying (or titanic) creature in an ancient forest and jumping from tree to tree (AoT style!), or they are climbing a sacred tree to reach the temple in its canopy and are attacked mid climb - the trunk can be the visual centerpiece of that mid-air (or mid-trunk) fight!
