@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.

I’ve gone mad - I made a simplified version for AA50 etc. as well. :)

@vodot Hi, thank you for your interest! That would be no problem at all :) I think it would look something like this:
Awesome, those look amazing!
-
Gorgeous! Could you make it non-color coded, I.e. just like the Anniversary board? (Black for attacker, Red for defender)
-
@reloader-1 whoops - looking at that, I realize that I’ve forgotten Aircraft Carriers attacking at “1” in AA50. I’ll upload a fixed version and include one with just black and red “attacker and defender” coloring.

Thanks so much!! I’m about to print out your AA50 map with the modifications to Australia and Italian East Africa, pondering if there are any other changes I’d like to have before I have it made (neoprene).
Perhaps sea zone 66… :grin:

@vodot amazing! One final tweak, can “Defender” at the bottom be in red like Anniversary one?

In the wake of Renegade games announcing official hit dice, I couldn’t resist making a couple more variants for anyone interested. I find the new announcements quite exciting :)

I forgot air units get two dice in convoy raiding, good reminder haha
