War at Sea USS California Ship Base - Game Aid

Damage Counter

This is designed as a Game Aid for the Original Wizards of the Coast Model USS California as well as with the Ghukek Miniatures model USS Tennessee Class Battleships.

This base is independent of the ship model. Simply print the base and set the original WOTC model or the 3D printed model in the custom fitting to use. A damage counter STL file is included with the listing. For a 3D printable model for the ship(s) that go with it are below:

This listing includes files for the base and the damage counter on the first picture. All other pictures are to show details, highlight features, game stats, functionality, visual appeal, and availability.

Due to the inherent nature of the Axis and Allies War at Sea game being designed at the 1/1800 scale for ships, this base is designed at the 1/1800 scale. However, those using 3D printed model can up and down scale as desired. I recommend 150% (1/1200) and 75% (1/2400) but other scales are possible.

If you have a specific request, (including Forumini models, house rules models, etc.) message me and I will bump it up my update list or can make a custom order for you.

Tested with FDM for color changing prints to highlight text using .3mm layer height with .4mm nozzle. For best results I used a color change at 3.3mm layer height and used ironing on the top layer only to read text easily and clearly.

For best results on the Damage Counter printing I also used .3mm height. Iron or no ironing work just fine either way.

If you want to paint your base or prefer resin, this model works well with that and I still recommend .3mm layer height.
