SHAPEWAYS Units

@Tall:

Guys,

––Here’s a pic of the HBG Minor Factories as produced by Shapeways. Since they’re now painted you can actually SEE them, now. I didn’t post a pc of them before as they were transluent before painting and “semi-invisable”. Enjoy.

––A “group shot” of all,…and a close-up of the American’s.

Tall Paul

Wow, those turned out great!

jwo1984 & others,
––Look above at response #31 for the list SHAPEWAYS units I have purchased.

Young Grasshopper

Do you have more pics Tall Paul?

John Brown

Guys, I spent a ton of money on Ebards pieces in the frosted ultra detail, and I took pictures of the straight airfield, another picture of the straight airfield, but moved the control tower to the end, so that bombers and tac bombers could fit on their easier.

If you look at Tall Paul’s painted pieces, he did this originally, and I see why he did it, because where it is currently at, it is not in a great place, but be very careful when cutting and holding these pieces, because if you hold them wrong, like I did, it can break, but super glue works just fine.

I also took pictures of the smaller naval base, the larger naval base, and the other piece is HBG’s new 3D printed German H-44 Super battleship on Ebards shipyard.

I hope this helps you guys, who have been asking questions about these pieces.

Unfortunately, I haven’t got mine painted, yet, but this gives you an idea of what they look like. :-D

Very nice John. That Battleship is huge!

@cyanight:

Yes, it is one of my favorites from HBG.

You need to see the UK Habakukk Long Carrier. I will take a picture of it beside some OOB pieces, so you can see just how big it is.

In the 1939 game, it can hold transport planes and strategic bombers. It can hold up to 5 planes of any kind, but you can only build in the Hudson Bay of Canada. :-D

@Young:

Do you have more pics Tall Paul?

––Yes, a few hundred. But I’d probably bore you if I showed them all to you.
Since John showed you the Air Base without any paint I’ll show you mine with paint,…although without the white stripes down the middle of their runways. Although the pics are a little “fuzzy”, if you look real hard you can see that the control towers have been painted with multiple windows on each side of them. Remember,….these are really SMALL units! These close-up profile pics show just where the runways were trimmed,…approx. 1/16" past the control tower, in order to visually separate the views as well as strengthen the tower area.

Grasshopper and Others,

––And here’s a pic of an Air Base on an out-of-the-box size gameboard.
NOTE: I almost always play my A&A games on a much enlarged (150%) gameboard,….which makes the “footprint” of these Airbases MUCH SMALLER!
––I also have a few pics of the Naval Bases if you want to see them…
