What are your tips for making custom axis and allies boards?

Thank you for the information @vodot . Yes the AAA infantry pieces would be hard to print. Looking at an 3D printer like the ANYCUBIC Photon S 3D Printer, UV LCD Resin Printer with Dual Z-axis Linear Rail and Upgraded UV Module & Print Quietly and Off-line Printing, Build Size 4.53"(L) x 2.56"(W) x 6.49"(H). https://www.amazon.com/ANYCUBIC-Photon-Upgraded-Off-line-Printing/dp/B07RY6NSL8/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=3d+sla+printer&qid=1576351692&sr=8-7 I think this one will do well with most AAA pieces.

The file service named Mediafire, already has this. There is not need to run up costs on this site to allow downloads. Why not use that free service? Plus we already got IL’s map thread with most of these map files. If that is not true, post all the files there that are missing.

let me know if you want to see the rest…

YG, @Young: Would love to hear from those who have used the file to print their own copy of my custom map… do you have one? ––I would have to say,…NOT YET ! But once I get my latest project going, which will include a large area for a "GRAND SIZE" War Simulations Room I’ll certainly get in contact with ya’ll. ––I must say, on behalf of all of the other gamers that you’ve already helped with your wonderful map; THANK YOU ! Tall Paul Thanks.

@BluGerman: today i managed to read through this year long forum thread and I have to ask what happened after November 17th 2011?.. did everybody in this forum mysteriously dissapear? or was it just discontinued? or was it moved to another forum thread or something?.. somebody please let me know because I was really excited to see Allworks whole board with his miniatures (they are awesome!) In answer to your question- I don’t really know.  :? Allworkandnoclay is an artist who does all sorts of other work for money, not just Axis and Allies. I presume that he moved on to other work, as his Flickr account shows him doing some sculpting and what not. To be honest though, he stopped posting pics, people stopped commenting, and it sort of fell of the face of the earth. There’s some stuff on TallPaul’s page, and there are plenty of other artists with some awesome stuff if you need your daily fix of painted minis!

I think Ray Harris’s A History of World War Two podcast works for a while. This is much less dry though. I love the podcast but I can only listen to monotone for so long.

@cyanight: Everyone has their own unique way of painting the pieces.  No matter how we paint the pieces they must still be playable within the game. And the nice difference between game sculpts and real military equipment is that sculpts are rarely lost or damaged in combat.  If that wasn’t the case, people might actually hesitate to risk sending their painted sculpts into battle on the game map, given the large amount of time they’ve spent on customizing them. 

Thanks Dauvio. I appreciate it.
