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.

Happy 240th Birthday Marines and happy 100th to Parris Island, the land where I come from!!!
Hoorah and Semper Fi
I’ve recently have more time and have been hard at work on some more mods. Stay tuned.
Great news Wil. Always love you work.
And I am grateful for your own service.

Thank you for your service, and I’m looking forward to seeing your modifications. :-)

Very incredible work here and thank you for your service Sir.

Stupid PhotoBucket. Can you guys see the images?
-
Sgtwiltan, your photobucket is not the only, not working. Everyone, who hasn’t updated it, all their pictures are not working.
I don’t know why.
Swedo, cyanight, dangermouse and many other pictures are not working, as well. :-(
-
Photobucket went pay to post & view.

That is too bad, because some of these guys are no longer on the forums. Those pictures are lost for good, unless they update them. :-(

I think I got the pictures working again. Just need some verification.
Yeah some of those picture threads were very good for ideas and simple paint mods that made the pieces much more realistic and fun to play with. Shame we cant see them anymore. -

Are you still doing mod work for Tall Paul?

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. :-)
