More painted pieces for consideration

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.

I think they would stack well in the box as long as you remove the cardboard boxes.

Yeah I wish HBG would take a pic with the scupt next to an OOB unit, so you can get a better concept of its size.

So I ended up just buying some more Tigers, painted them brown, and decided not worry about the historical accuracy.

@Wolfshanze:

They look fine, but that’s an English website… you couldn’t find something like that closer to home?  Surely there has to be plastic bins like that offered in Canada or the US?

Just did a google images search on plastic containers one day and found it, I didn’t really look that hard for other options.

Nice work - Dare I ask how many hours you put into it? For interest’s sake.

Nice work , lots of detail

I can see wizards of the coast having a blanket statement rejecting all requests to modify material, after all… they probaly deal with it alot with their D&D department than with Avilon Hill products.

@sgtwiltan:

Yes. There are so many. Trying to get one thing done at a time. I sent back some pieces and have started on a big batch of artillery which he loves. I’m amazed at his patience. Still have a lot of pieces he sent me and was able to find and keep them in a box so I know which pieces are his that I need to work on. They had been lost in multiple boxes from when I moved 4 years ago. I’ve also redone literally hundreds of PZIIIs including some all of the painted ones. One of these days…… I’ll get them done.

That is cool! I’m sure he doesn’t mind, because the end result is fantastic. :-)
