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.
1940 Global table & painted pieces

Scanning the base and complex markers worked out well
Could you please upload the scans? I like to modify an electronic map by inserting the icons (…always bothered by the card board markers)

Nice till for the IPCs.

Way to improvise, I find my best stuff at dollar stores.

Barney, I don’t want to mislead you, the red star is a decal. I’ve been trying Flames of War decals, but I just bought 30 packs of decals from I-94 Enterprises.

OK, so last little touch on the table. We found some camo material and used Velcro to go around the table with it.
-
Now that the table is officially done, I am back to painting the sculpts. Working on Japan now.

Good idea. You could use the underside of the table as a concealed storage area (for game boxes and so forth), since it’s covered by the camo material.

Yes sir, that’s the plan. I’m all about concealment.

Working on the US fleet, Chinese infantry, and German desert/woodland patterns.

It’s a nice touch to have individually numbered carriers.

I received my Marines from HBG and I am so happy with these pieces, they will go perfect with this Global table and my Pacific operations. I should have the Corsairs done this weekend.
-
Here are some more painted pieces.
-
I am keeping the base white in order to help the neutrals stand out even more.
-
They’re really good!

Thanks, Lozmoid.
