Working on low cost customizations

Im not talking about a digital Map, but a real one. I consider myself very artistically minded so I think I could do it without it looking too bad. What materials would I need, how much time would it take? I wanna do a global map from about 1920.

@Call77 and its not finished like I have said a few times

Hello everybody. This is Greg over at www.AxisandAlliesBoardGaming.com.

Here is a sample of my latest offerings. I’ve added USA, UK & German fleet hull camouflage patterns.

New options are available for infantry. Here are the upgraded infantry with a national flag on a red base.

And these are my “best” level infantry. These are meticulously detailed hand painted pieces and look absolutely fantastic.

Check out my website for even more items! Most ship pieces are also in stock for immediate sale at www.CombatMiniatures.org.

The three stack setup is just there to give me a visual difference as I will still use the two stack ones for minor complexes in g40. I like the original look but wanted a quick way to still know it is different. I am an engineer and now I have access to a 3D printer so I’ll be designing some more custom pieces.

What a great idea Der Kuenstler. I was feeling intimidated because I don’t know how to post pics here of what I’ve been up to the last couple of weeks since I dusted off my games and brought them out of the closet. I’ve been inspired to customize a room in my house by all the great people on here who have been so passionate about doing their own customizations and it’s been a lot of fun for me at a time when I’m not able to do much else. I’ve still got a little ways to go but so far the Great White Northern Bunker is coming along nicely and there’s lots of time to finish it before the long hard winter and the impending march to Moscow begins…or when I return to work…whatever comes first.

YGH…

It will add the enthusiasm for sure to do more videos!

YG,

@Young:

Would love to hear from those who have used the file to print their own copy of my custom map… do you have one?
––I would have to say,…NOT YET ! But once I get my latest project going, which will include a large area for a
“GRAND SIZE” War Simulations Room I’ll certainly get in contact with ya’ll.
––I must say, on behalf of all of the other gamers that you’ve already helped with your wonderful map;
THANK YOU !

Tall Paul

Thanks.

@cyanight:

Everyone has their own unique way of painting the pieces.  No matter how we paint the pieces they must still be playable within the game.

And the nice difference between game sculpts and real military equipment is that sculpts are rarely lost or damaged in combat.  If that wasn’t the case, people might actually hesitate to risk sending their painted sculpts into battle on the game map, given the large amount of time they’ve spent on customizing them.  :-)
