New 3D printed 1/350 aircraft models for ICOG. English language ruleset coming.

[GilmoreDK]

Rules update:

All core rules has now been translated and been edited by at least one native English speaking person (thanks 6MilPhil and ColinWe). We will now make the master document and start the graphical design. I have seen the visual style and it will look great.

For those of you who would like to have a look at the base rules in word format - Drop me a PM and i will send you the core rules.

We still aim at Easter as a release date. At that point we aim at having the core rules, 5-6 scenarios, heaps of cockpit panels, templates, links to planes etc. all on a shared website. 
Later we will add full campaign rules as well as more special rules such as Zeppelins, bombing etc. Based on feedback we will probably also ongoing updates on the ruleset.

All materials will be free to download.

Great stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When are the English rules going to be available please?

[Kingscarbine]

Wow!

We are a bit behind on this project. Ordered some rods but they were out of stock and work on the terrain tiles hasn't started yet. Only good news is I have the planes and decals on my workbench.

Great stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Were working on it! .. Not long 


More work than we had thought .. When we started translating we saw the opportunity to tweak a bit here and there,..

But Thomas (my co-designer) is making the grapical design on the final text files rigth now and says he only lacks the last 15 pages or so..

After the rules has been released we will make cockpit panels for all available planes (classics first) ..

Also: Fokker D.VII models coming up (don´t buy the test version on the site ATM than is more than 5€ for 1 model)...

[smirnoff]

Thank you
I eagerly await them!

[GilmoreDK]

Now some German recon planes:

The high performance, long range, high altitude Rumpler C.IV...  Used in large numbers from mid-1917 until the end of the war for strategic recon and sometimes for light bombing duties.

The early Rumpler C.I used widely in 1916 and early 1917.

Ruleset update:

There is a delay on the finishing processes ATM as Thomas, doing the graphic work, is currently working 60 hours workweeks on his day job (which is being a movie propmaker and set designer).  He will soon be out of the work bubble and  i will resume posting here. Please have patience. an updated previews will be available soon and hopefully we will deliver before long.  Do PM me if you want a preview pdf copy (around 18 mb file size).

Hi,

Just a heads up and a quick intro. Panzergrey is a team of architects working on 3D printed terrain items and other equipment for ICOG. We have a long list to cover that we hope to finish by the end of the year. We researched dozens of period photos to get the most accurate models for the Western Front. It includes village, town and industrial buildings, airfields, balloons and other useful stuff. First items are available at Shapeways:
