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.
First time painted game pieces for 3G40

@sansmerci Holy cow this makes my “customization” effort look laughable.

@sansmerci I like the flames here.

@LevHunter Thank you.

I just noticed the UK coaster roundel from HBG with a ship and some chips on the lower left of the last picture. We use them for our “Buy Box” so we don’t have to reach across the board. Is that what you use them for as well?

@DMcLaren In the 3G40 game rules they are used for buys that take two turns to build what you see on the German one is Elite Infantry that cost 2 when you buy them then 2 more the next turn when you put them on the board the Super Battleship costs 6/6/6 and is the only combat unit that needs three turns to build. How did you get the customizer badge? Thanks for all the pictures of your set and the very helpful tips.

Ah, yet another good use for the coasters!
I was awarded the Customizer badge at some point unknown, but marked on my pictures post as to when I found out I was a recipient. There is a post somewhere on the forums that tells of the process and from what I recall one has to be nominated by someone to a moderator and there is some sort of review process. Here’s a link to the award discussion thread: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/24173/customizers-round-2
Glad you enjoy the pics and tips! We all inspire each other with our pictures, tips, and techniques, so keep sharing!
