Trenacker, I’m releasing the new markers in both the original size and an enlarged size (about 30% bigger on average). So you’ll be able to pick the size (and cost) that works best for you. Every city marker I make will be offered in both sizes.

Leatherneckinlv, I’ve sent you a private message with the links to purchase the set.

All: I am all set now for testers. Shapeways is currently doing their manual review of all the models prior to printing them; so far no issues.

I got the sets today and they are amazing. 3 sculpts are a tad too big in I think, pretty sure I got the big version. Beautiful pieces though…I recommend them highly

Would like to see pics (of both sizes) next to infantry for comparison.

[EBard5]

I’m scheduled to receive the smaller set next Tuesday and I’ll get photos of the pieces up as quick as I can and will be sure to include an infantry and factory for size comparisons.

Leatherneckinlv private messaged me with the details on the sculpts and I should be able to easily rescale them. I’m still waiting to hear from the other testers to get their feedback. Hopefully if all goes well I can release the set for purchase next week.

Leatherneckinlv,

Just wondering what pieces you thought were a tad too big. Hoping to get my pieces next week. Cheers, Rand.

It was the Cairo Pyramid, Leningrad Winter Palace, and Ottawa Parliament Building.

Too big

[Bob77]

Just to confirm, these are pics of the larger set?
I saw 2 for calcutta. Prefer the one on the right. Prefer Eiffel tower for paris. Cant wait to scrape up $100 bucks to get a set

Edit spelling

[Leatherneckinlv]

That’s correct on Calcutta

I am gonna stick to Taj Mahal for Calcutta

gonna add a few cities to my custom map I am making. The other Calcutta would make a great Peking as an example

here is a pic of UK

[EBard5]

Bob77, yes those pictures are of the larger set.

[Narvik]

Maybe a bit too much for some of them. Cairo looks ridiculous big and Ottawa should lose the Christmas tree. But they are still better than the tiny ones. These capitals are the object of the game, the home of the leaders, the difference between a win or lose. They should be big. But this was just a bit much. Down 10 percent.

[Leatherneckinlv]

Here are the painted versions

UK here has 2 London markers. Small and big
Cairo I tried to give a hue to make it known its UK…not sold on the concept.
