I use bingo chips on them…glue them on…using custom Infantry in my games I paint them to signify what they are…they work well. Also if you buy Infantry with small bases, this fixes that problem too

@djensen any chance we get a sticky for 3D models, free and otherwise? These collections need curation…
-
Yeah, start a topic, let me or Panther, or any other moderator know which topic to sticky and we’ll do it.
-
@vodot these look amazing! I can only dream of this quality print work. (Or go the shapeways route offcourse)
-
Yeah, Shapeways is so flipping expensive! 0.o
RE: the SPAs and Tanks, I could not believe it when I saw m_bergman’s collection. I’m a little embarrassed I haven’t already printed off all of his work, since I have no excuse… except for the fact that I need to at least occasionally be productive at my job.

Finally got my test prints off the company printer! Pic below. The IC is the same size as the OOB IC, for size comparison.
I also shrank the self-propelled artillery pieces by a further ~20%, so I should be down to about 1:350 scale now, which should look better on the board given how tiny the OOB Mech Infantry are. I’ll post comparison pics of OOB pieces with the new smaller hummels and sextons (priests were omitted from this print, unfortunately) from home tonight. For anyone looking to replicate, grab the 1:200 3D files from m_bergman and shrink by ~45% before printing.

Woah, cool!

@vodot
Those are some seriously cool looking prints. I think you knocked it out of the park with all of these great pieces. Excellent work.-Midnight_Reaper

very nice pieces and briljant printing quality! you leave me very jealous

Have some initial bundled qtys up on Shapeways for order, if anyone wants to try these out and support a starving engineer…

I really wish Shapeways had an affiliate program. In fairness to our Sponsors I’m not sure how to handle one off projects like this.
Maybe a bunch of Shapeways creators could get together and go in on a Bronze Sponsorship?
-
@djensen Should I pull these links? I didn’t realize I had to be more than just an individual sponsor.
-
@vodot I need to discuss with the moderators and the current sponsors. It’s not like you’re starting a store or selling stuff on eBay. Just sharing what you’ve built to be available on Shapeways.
-
all, I got the airfields batched up into QTY 10 on Shapeways. Here’s everything up so far:
-
Ok we need a RAT PATROL SET. The long Range Desert Patrol would prove a fun variant for global. This consists of 2 jeeps with machine guns and are 3 attack the 1st round, then 2 after that, defend 2, move 2, appear on turn 2 in the Sahara Desert. This would be the only unit that can “hide” in it and appear at will. The 2 movement points can be allocated as follows: These units hit and run and pick off stragglers…so they move 1 space attack, retreat back to Sahara, or alternatively move 1 space in combat and another in NCM.
-
Go ahead and share those links to Shapeways.
