@hopper1999 I’ve access to both resin and PLA printers, and while resin has a couple of extra steps compared to PLA, I wouldn’t consider it painful. I’ve come to appreciate resin’s ability to show detail even in very small scale. For me its worth the extra steps to clean and cure, for those results. What’s great is there are so many free units available, with some simple editing/converting you can quickly build cool armies.
As for casting, while I haven’t casted any A&A parts yet (still building my unit library), I have casted a lot of 3.75 action figure parts. I’ve gotten best results using a syringe and pressure pot. (I converted a old paint pressure tank). You inject your mold, and then put it under pressure, I’d do around 30psi, to help the resin into the thinner parts of the mold and prevent bubbles. It also helps, when making your mold to put it under pressure as well. I’ve found it helps prevents bubbles in the silicone and between the silicone and the part being cast.
I plan on using casting to duplicate units I already have, that I can’t find stl files for.

Pretty weak compared to some of the others on here, but it works for us. Still a lot I want to do to it. Dividers in the trays etc
edit: Apparently I can’t post links

Would like to see, maybe you can upload a pic or two.

I think you have to get from ‘New Conscript’ to ‘Infantry’ on here before you can do that, but I could be wrong…

Yes. 10 posts I think?
Send someone the link and we can put it in for you.

That sounds good. I am modifying my table this weekend and that gives me time to get a new pic up!

Not as impressive as others but it works for us. We use it to play Europe and Pacific…Haven’t ventured into Global yet
Top view of table
View of tray. We have enough spots for all of the countries in both games without having to swap them out

Looks great! I especially like that it’s small and specific instead of the typical Global tables we’re seeing everyone make.
-
Sweet, but how do you store it when you arnt playing?
-
Great idea building a table to accommodate either a Europe, or Pacific 1940 game instead of both. I myself like playing the whole Global experience, but you have definitely made a very functional table that also looks classy.
Great Job!.

Excellent work! The inclusion of compartments around the rim of this table (and the other tables which various other people have built) is an element that I always find especially nice, and the use of stained wood is something else that give a classy and professional appearance to these tables. Those details really enhance the gaming experience.
-
where are the little containers from? (the ones holding infantry, etc)
-
Thanks for the comments. We have a large loft area and we haven’t taken it down but it has folding legs and the pieces compartments all have lids that snap on
I got the containers at Office Max
It has been an enjoyable experience while playing the game
I am building a global table this week
-
Looks great, do you have plans to cover the map with glass or anything?
-
Great looking table. I like the idea of having enough room to move around the countries based on the game you are playing. Two thumbs up!
