I have had a 3D printer hobbyist CAD design a new BB playing piece and a new DD playing piece.
The BB is based on the WW1 UK Iron Duke modified for appearance. It is, certainly, better looking than the original BB design. Additionally, I (we) used a depiction of a WW1 US 4 stacker DD to make a modified DD playing piece for A&A WW1. The rationale that the Sub replaces the need for a DD just doesn’t ‘cut it’ (make sense). Most of the colour filaments used to 3D print these units are a good match to the original playing piece colours. I will post pictures of these as I have assistance doing so.
Painted playing pieces

the hmg sets are really nice and have been eyeing them up espeacillay the lvts and ships. not as good as the metal ones but far cheaper and unbreakable. I reckon they will paint up really nicely. unfortunatly the cost of shipping makes it easier for me to buy the metal ones at a slow trickle with out much shipping.
@Viracocha i have moved since joining the forum to the fens but its about the same distance unfortunatly i dont get much free time these days with the baby and work. but i will keep it in mind

Love these, the one in the middle almost looks like the real thing(armored column on the move somewhere by a lake) if you squint just a little.

Any chance a Mod could move this thread to “Customizations”, where it really belongs. Lots of really nice work here.

Oh… maybe it already was. Found it in a link under “G40”.

I’m really impressed, such a lot of very fine paintings!!! Good work, Commanders!!

I’ve been trying to post some pics of my painted units, but can’t seem to figure out how to attach them. I’ve been told the additional options has the attach option, but that isn’t there for me. Not sure if I need to have “X” number of posts before I’m able to… Any suggestions?

You need alot more posts before you can post pics. Send them to me and i will put them in this thread.

Why would you need posts in order to post pics? What’s the idea behind that? Just curious.

This is the link from Maofactor. Needless to say the paint jobs are fantastic!
Enjoy the pics.

Nice mix of units and great paint jobs Maofactor! kudos!
I like the mix of Fallschirmjager and SS troops for Germany most I think. -
Agreed. All very good. Who would not want something that pretty?

Thanks for all the nice comments, and thanks Imperious Leader for posting the link! I really should be more involved on the forums so I can post pics myself. I’ve recently started to take the unit painting more seriously. I began with specialty units such as SS, Marines, Commandos, etc. a few years ago. Then I stared adding a few specialy pieces like painting Subs for Japanese I-400’s, then moved on to painting units for Air Transports. Now, I’m starting to work on making a complete global set. This could take a while. :-)
