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.
Painting pieces!

Nice lookin stuff Mr. Johnson!

Amazing pieces, lots of ideas from just this one thread. You are truly talented.

Well since this old thread got accidently bumped, i might aswell share some new pics.

I tried to do some roundels. I still dont have desided if i will do roundels on all units…

Nice work Swedo!

swedo, your accuracy is astonishes me again and again! Very nice work!
Concerning the roundels: when I painted my pieces, I decided to skip the roundels. While they look very nice piece by piece, it’s too much work and after all: a lot of infanterie units in a crowd may look a little bit gaudy. However, painted roundels may have an advantage for newbies (obvious differences…).

Swedo! These are fantastic! Steady hand steady hand…
