The elephant is missing the barrel and why so many random pieces? Where these for some game that didn’t make it?

Yes, the barrel was too thin and snapped. Needs to be adjusted (this is why I do test prints first).

And … why not? Variety is the spice of life.

But a planned offering of units that might compliment games OOB pieces.

For example a set of light cruisers for 1940, or Heavy Tanks, or etc

Its such a Hodge Podge of units from different eras right?

11 models, 8 German, then this that and another… Very expensive hobby to do this sort of thing.

@IWillNeverGrowUp look good I placed my first order. Spewing I ordered before you posted the italian self propelled guns. If I would suggest anything seaplanes and minor tanks. Ie filling the gap others don’t do.
Keep them coming, what else are you planning

Sadly the Semovente’s we listed were not a great color (I like it myself, but it’s nowhere near a real brown) and we’ve got a new brown coming in this week.

Also, we’re going to keep adding to the lineup as we can and this process will take time! I refuse to simply take a pre-made file (many of which can be found online for free) and sell the printed product from that. Every piece is being 100% recreated from the ground up!

@IWillNeverGrowUp colours dont phase me I paint my guys

Updated original post with list of currently available + coming soon

[Call77]

@IWillNeverGrowUp hi I was trying to place an order today but noticed the T70 stock was only 2 and the back order of semovente. How does the back order work and shipping and any idea when you may have more t70.

Printing more T70’s right and I should be putting Semovente’s up in the shop by the end of the week.
The 3D Printers are running 24/7 right now to build up stock (and keep up with those that are selling).

Yes, my requests would be along similar lines. I like specific sculpts for special technology and/or house rules units. And this drives most of my buying of aftermarket units.

But number 1, tell us the actual dimensions rather than just “approximately 20 x 10mm”. Because if both the French light tank and the French heavy tank are the same size, I won’t want them both. I might not want either if they are the same size as the OOB medium.

My current biggest need/desire:
A “Super Carrier” than can handle 3 planes comfortably (OOB carriers are too small/short for this).
A RADAR guided AAA sculpt.

As an ongoing project we’ll get there eventually. These things take time and we started small to see if there would be any demand at all and have been increasing the offerings from there. It also takes time to produce new sculpts, new prints and keep up with the already high demand for the prints we have now.

Thanks. When you want a sculpt to use for a Heavy Tank, it helps a lot to know how the size compares to OOB units.

Since these sculpts are flowing so fancy free like popcorn, can you make a 25-30 sculpt set of World War 1 miniatures?

I can submit a list

[Cernel]

I made this post to advise changing the “SEMMOVENTE 42” name (in the image) to “SEMOVENTE DA 75/18” or “SEMOVENTE M42 DA 75/18” but now I see it is listed as “Semovente M42 da75/18” (so I edited the post).

These sculpts have taken months and many are still being worked on. :)

You’re welcome to submit a list, though there is no guarantee of getting them done (least of all soon).

[Imperious Leader]

Well i can help finance this. i will pm you

[IWillNeverGrowUp]

Pulling all of the Italian pieces for quality issues. Going to do a re-design and re-test. I have a feeling the filament being used is not the best either (our lighter brown pieces came out phenomenal, but the “wrong” color).

[Imperious Leader]

Oh and sorry for slagging your 3D printed pieces earlier. It thru me for a loop because all of a sudden you just appeared with 20 sculpts and they were all over the place in terms of type and nation. I get your direction now.

[Call77]

@IWillNeverGrowUp yeah there is something going on they are definitely not as good as the others

Yup. I’m about 80% sure it’s this particular brand and/or color of filament. I’m doing some trouble shooting to see where it’s gone wrong on those.
