Did you make the STL files yourself? |
| Rusty Balls | 07 Jul 2022 9:18 a.m. PST |
Yes, I created all of the files for these using Tinkercad. I have a couple of different versions that I have used for various games like Blucher. I have been working on a slightly larger version with the 4 "regiments" each separated. This lets you easily form lines, March columns, squares and massed columns. It's fun to play around with and at any time I can whip up a new army! |

I was meaning to download that program. Thank you for reminding me. |
| Rusty Balls | 07 Jul 2022 11:29 a.m. PST |
Actually, there is no program to download. You will need to create an account on Tinkercad.com but the actual "app" runs off the cloud/web. Have to say, for as basic as it is I have really created some cool stuff. If I actually had a full 3d modeling software and knew how to use it, I would be very dangerous! |
