Some notes regarding our 3D Printed Alternative AaA Pieces:
These are 3D Printed FDM and not injection molded pieces. As such, while they my have more detail they are subsequently somewhat more prone to breakage at any thin areas. We have attempted to mitigate this as best as possible by beefing up barrels and providing additional supports wherever possible, but there is always the chance that something may break.
As they are FDM 3D printed (not resin) there are layer lines. As small as those lines may be, they may or may not show up when attempting to paint pieces. We highly recommend a very light coat of primer before doing any painting to help fill in any excess layer lines.
All pieces are scaled to out of box Axis and Allies pieces with some variation for designations such as light, medium, heavy, super heavy.
All pieces dimensions are listed on their respective shop entry.
On request we can do alternate colors of existing models (an additional charge will apply).
We will do our best to clean any excess stringing or “flash” from models prior to shipping, however some cleanup may be required.
Color may vary from one run of pieces to another based on the filament used. While we do attempt to use the same brand and color of filament for each specific nation, available supply of filament may occasionally dictate a different brand, and therefore a different shade.
We attempt to keep a supply of all pieces in stock, however if a piece is currently out of or low on stock it will take a little longer for your order to be shipped as we produce the missing item(s).

Currently working on adding a selection of armor with articulated turrets!
A few kinks to work out, but should be available soon.
Also working on bringing a line of “budget friendly” pre-painted pieces to market. We’re not going to claim any kind of high end paint jobs, but rather decent tabletop quality at a (hopefully) reasonable price point.

PSA : UK Tank plastic will be changing from a matte filament to a more robust filament matching the finish of other pieces, but the color is a near identical match!

I’m hoping for end of next week. We had several really large orders come in that threw a wrench in the plans of getting new units printed up.

PSA:
Our supplier of filaments has discontinued the particular brand we use for our UK Tan and Battalion Markers.
We are sourcing new filament to get a color match as best as possible, though there will ultimately be a color variation moving forward (once our current stock is depleted).

Added the absolutely ludicrous and utterly charming BOB SEMPLE Tank in UK tan.
The Bob Semple tank was a tank designed by New Zealand Minister of Works Bob Semple during World War II. Originating out of the need to build military hardware from available materials, the tank was built from corrugated iron on a tractor base. Designed and built during a period of uncertainty in which New Zealand feared having to defend itself from Japanese invasion without external assistance, these tanks were a civilian effort to design and create a means to protect New Zealand.
Designed and built without formal plans or blueprints, it had numerous design flaws and practical difficulties, and was never put into mass production or used in combat.
