3D Printed Axis and Allies Board Game Pieces Available

[IWillNeverGrowUp]

Updated sculpts:
We’ve improved a few of the sculpts with long thin barrels (breakage issues); SU76, SU85, IS2, Panther, Elefant, E100.

Everything back in stock!

Still working on some new sculpts, including WW1.

You got a pic of the KV1’s ?

Just realized I said KV1 when I was talking about the SU85 barrels being fixed! Oops.

@IWillNeverGrowUp How did you ship models go?

Still working on them. I have a couple that are decent but not great.

First test print of some Imperial Japanese Navy pieces. Bit of work to do on them still but it’s getting there;

PS: Also added Tiger I’s to the shop yesterday.

@IWillNeverGrowUp they look good nothing a blade wouldn’t clean up

Having some issues at the moment but I’m working on them.

I’m curious about how the models take to hobby files, pin vice and drill, and mechanical drill bits. Also be nice to see some painted models along with mention of how the models were painted.

The last because if you’re doing brushes, sometimes brushwork fills in details of the model with paint, especially if you’re going for multiple coats. So if you’re painting on wee complex flags that could be tricky.

I’ve used files and drill bits on other 3D printed models I’ve done without issues, but not these (though they are in the same plastic material so it would work just as well). I have not (yet) painted any of the 3d printed AAA models myself (just my 32mm scale D&D models).

Multiple coats of paint on models this size are doable, but you absolutely need to ensure you’ve thinned your paints properly (water doesn’t cut it in my opinion … you need a ‘medium’ (I use liquitex matte medium myself) to maintain the pigment count). I’ve rarely had issues with fine details being filled in by painting on these kinds of pieces.

Painting fine details is tough, but doable if you’ve got the patience, steady hand, good eyes/magnification and a fine enough brush.

Hopefully someone has painted some and can put up a pic for us!

Could we get a slightly scaled up version of the carrier? Like 10-15%.
Need a sculpt for Super/Heavy (3 plane) Carrier.

How about a sculpt to use for RADAR AAA?

Upscaled versions of any of our existing models I can certainly do.

Radar AAA, I can attempt, but don’t hold your breath (any new model takes a significant bit of time to create and test before we can print it).

Sounds good. I’ll give you a chance to fill out your naval series. As I would prefer different Allied vs Axis sculpts for the Heavy carrier.

For the RADAR AAA, maybe something like the M51 Skysweeper? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M51_Skysweeper
When you have time.
