@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.
Customizer needed for new battle boards
-
Hello everyone,
I would like to collaborate with another customizer to create new battle boards for A&A 1940 Global. Although I can work with adobe software to a certain extent, I am unfamiliar with the techniques required to pull off my vision. The main design concept is for players to have 2 types of battle boards available during games… one for land battles, and one for sea battles, please let me know if you’re interested.
Cheers,
YG.

I’d be interested. I’m pretty handy with the Adobe suite. Want to post a sketch of what you envision?
