HI There

 

I'm trying to find the required game aids for 1/300th and 1/700th scale.

I've downloaded those marked as what appears to be 1/720th but they labelled as 1/1200.

 

Are these playing aids available?

 

Cheers

Kev

The 1/720 gauges (PC Master Gauges 720 R2_20191128.pdf) are rescaled from the 1/1200 gauges and still carry the 1/1200 labels (but are 1/720 scale)   As for 1/300; there has never been any gauges done for that scale.

I'd be interested in making a vector file so I could have some acrylic gauges made.

 

Is that OK so long as it's for personal use?

Sure as long as it's personal use only.  <smile>

 

Thanks

I designed a nice 32-point wind gauge for my games, and am in the process of having it printed...

...and the wind arrow for the top...

Very nice! Where are you having it made?

As I (sadly) do not have a 3D printer, I'm having it done at Shapeways.

 

Happy to provide the STL files if you have a printer yourself.

 

I'm planning to do some nice 3D game aids (movement ruler, turn gauge, etc.) after I've got a few games under my belt and know what's actually useful/annoying on the tabletop.

I have a friend with a printer. I would appreciate getting the STL file. Thanks for offering.

I picked up some 5mm acrylic discs to serve as Phase markers.

Acrylic turn gauges (like ODGW offers for GQ3) and movement rulers would be nice!

I might be working on something along those lines... ;)

 

Though likely in the form of more STL files.

Hmmmm, the turn gauge design turned out to have some printing issues, which turns out to be a good thing, as I think my Mark II design will be better now that I've had time to consider it more...

...and here's my wind indicator, printed and primed. I'll be going for an aged-metal finish...

The 3D prints for the turn gauges came in today. Very happy with them.

Any chance you'd be willing to share those wind and turn gauge STLs? They look great!
