Hi all, here are the latest additions to the ever-growing “Affordable Armory” :)

In addition to beginning to print in Gray and Black as well as the original White, I’ve also newly designed an Anti-Aircraft Gun (similar to OOB), a Kriegsmarine Escort Ship (Type 39 Torpedo Boat), and I’m printing the Royal Navy Hunt-Class light Destroyers (original model by AntarcticFox on thingiverse) for the Allied side as well.

While I work on a few bigger things (Light Tanks, Escort Carriers, Rail Depots, Coastal Artillery…) there are also some new miscellaneous bits as well: Oil Drums, Naval/Landmines, “Czech Hedgehog” anti-tank obstacles, and Metal Bars/Ingots. Come take a look at www.Etsy.com/shop/NathanDetr0itDesigns!

@Lompestein Awesome work! Big thanks for including the .xcf’s and brushes as well, that should help others get a leg-up on their own projects.

Custom Ship Deck Decal Sets

Hello everybody. I wanted to announce that AxisandAlliesBoardGaming.com has released new decal sets specifically made for the Axis & Allies naval game pieces from the following game versions: Europe 1940, Pacific 1940, Spring 1942 & 1941 Anniversary Edition.

This is the DIY option for those who want the enjoyment and challenge of painting their own game pieces. Now you can finish them off with precision-cut waterslide decals to give your creations a professional look. Each individual ship deck decal has been pre-cut to ensure a perfect fit every time.

It is very difficult to get a clean edge on your ship decks using a paint brush by hand. One side of the ship might have straight lines but the other side might be noticeably wavy or you painted onto the superstructure by accident. You can pay others to painstakingly paint your ships but that can be very expensive for an entire fleet or game set. With these decals, there are no more worries about the final look and feel of your ships. Now it is easy to produce game pieces like a pro, and you can paint as many pieces as you want and every one will look great.

These are sold in fleet sets that include deck decals for all the naval game pieces for the selected country and game version. Some examples:

The Italian Europe 1940 set – 26 ships in all.

The German 1941 Anniversary Edition set – 42 ships in all.

The French Europe 1940 set – 18 ships in all.

“The War Game” and others address this by letting you buy all the units for every team, with different costs. So China pays 8 for tanks, Most powers pay 6, Germany 5 etc. This makes things more complex, but also more flexible.

This is the final set for the time being. Depending on how much demand there is for these pieces, I’m open to making one or two more sets, maybe in the late Fall or next year sometime. Right now I want to take a break for a bit and then work on some other projects (I have a long list of requested ships that I want to work on next).

If I do make more sets, one would probably be a “Capitals of Europe” to fill in some of the missing cities like Madrid, Vienna, Budapest, Bucharest, Sofia, and Prague. Then the second set might contain non-european capitals that are in high demand. Definitely let me know if you have suggestions for cities or buildings that can be used and I’ll write them all down and consider them.

With Harlequin being UK based, does the ~$225 price you mentioned include shipping to the US? If not, do you have an approximate cost for that?

@Der:

I’m only targeting transports because they would be coming in the closest thus most vulnerable, and that would deter a landing the most. This way invaders can’t just take free hits on their battleships.

Excellent idea.

@coachofmany:

@Buran:

I have just received my US units I have attached some photos. I was just wondering if what the fifth air unit is? It looks like an F6F Hellcat fighter. But there is nothing on the website about it.

Nice! They look pretty good. How’s the color compared to the OOB stuff?

HBG Olive Drab color is very close to Global 40 2nd Edition IMHO.

I don’t know, Coach! I just bought a few of your new Shermans from a friend and I was pleasantly surprised that they match my 1st Edition US pieces pretty well. :wink:

These Sherman sculpts are ace. You guys did a good job with these and now I’m looking forward to getting some of the other ones too.

EDIT: Okay, upon closer inspection in daylight, I changed my mind. They are definitely closer in tone to 2nd Edition US.
