@IWillNeverGrowUp hi I was trying to place an order today but noticed the T70 stock was only 2 and the back order of semovente. How does the back order work and shipping and any idea when you may have more t70.

Printing more T70’s right and I should be putting Semovente’s up in the shop by the end of the week.
The 3D Printers are running 24/7 right now to build up stock (and keep up with those that are selling).

Yes, my requests would be along similar lines. I like specific sculpts for special technology and/or house rules units. And this drives most of my buying of aftermarket units.

As an ongoing project we’ll get there eventually. These things take time and we started small to see if there would be any demand at all and have been increasing the offerings from there. It also takes time to produce new sculpts, new prints and keep up with the already high demand for the prints we have now.

But number 1, tell us the actual dimensions rather than just “approximately 20 x 10mm”. Because if both the French light tank and the French heavy tank are the same size, I won’t want them both. I might not want either if they are the same size as the OOB medium.

Sizing has been removed from this post and updated in our web store on the page for each sculpt.

Since these sculpts are flowing so fancy free like popcorn, can you make a 25-30 sculpt set of World War 1 miniatures?

I can submit a list

These sculpts have taken months and many are still being worked on. :)

You’re welcome to submit a list, though there is no guarantee of getting them done (least of all soon).

Pulling all of the Italian pieces for quality issues. Going to do a re-design and re-test. I have a feeling the filament being used is not the best either (our lighter brown pieces came out phenomenal, but the “wrong” color).

@Call77 said in 3D Printed Axis and Allies Board Game Pieces Available:

@IWillNeverGrowUp yeah there is something going on they are definitely not as good as the others

Yup. I’m about 80% sure it’s this particular brand and/or color of filament. I’m doing some trouble shooting to see where it’s gone wrong on those.

ITALIAN PIECES UPDATE:

Alright, it’s 100% the dark brown filament. I ran a series of test prints with that and another, lighter brown, using the exact same settings and file and the lighter brown works.

It’s not the color I want as it doesn’t match (even relatively close) OOB pieces, but it works. I’m going to get a different brand on Monday to try out and see if I can’t get closer to the right brown.

Color sample that works;

@IWillNeverGrowUp they look good. I’m not fussed on the colour I paint mine

Understood, but not all do. I’m going to go ahead and produce some in this other brown over the weekend though while I await the new filament.

@IWillNeverGrowUp hi any new ww2 models coming up 😃

For now, just the following;

• German Sturmpanzer SPG (Dark Grey)
• German Tiger I (Dark Grey)
• Russian SU-76 SPG (Red Brown)
• French Hotchkiss H39 Cavalry Tank (Blue)
• French Somua S35 Cavalry Tank (Blue)
• US M3A1 Halftrack (Olive)

The SU-76 should be in our shop by the weekend.

I’ve been working on some others as well but having some detailing issues when it comes time to print them (they look amazing as a rendered file, but only so-so when printed because of too much detail or tiny bits that don’t print correctly).

Also working on some naval pieces at the moment.
