Custom Piece Miniature – pickaxe – 3D Print for LEGO minifigure

This is a custom-made accessory for a toy minifigure, designed to represent a pickaxe.

The accessory is a miniature replica of the hand tool. It features a sturdy brown handle and a metallic silver head. The head is double-sided, with one end pointed for breaking up hard surfaces and the other end flattened like a chisel for prying or cutting through roots. It is sized to be held in the hands of a standard minifigure.

Background: A pickaxe is a fundamental tool for manual labor involving breaking up hard ground, rock, or masonry. During World War II, it was an indispensable tool for military engineers (Pioniere), construction units like the Organisation Todt (OT), and infantry soldiers for digging trenches, fortifications, and foxholes in difficult soil. It was also a critical tool for civil defense and rescue services like the German Luftschutz (LSHD), used for clearing heavy rubble and debris to rescue people trapped in bombed buildings. This accessory is suitable for minifigures representing soldiers, engineers, miners, construction workers, or rescue personnel.
