Description
Got tired to those old school soldiers, horses and cannons of the Risk and since I couldn't find more modern pieces ready, I made my own. For starters there is now 3 tanks which are modelled after real life counterparts as close as my skills let me :D Chose to start with British Challenger 2, Finnish Leopard 2a6 and a classic Russian T-72.
Primary goal besides getting cool looking pawns, I wanted them to be very simple and easy to print and as so I didn't include much details. These tanks are very small (~2.5cm).
I managed to print them just with 0.4mm nozzle and 0.1 layer height. I recommend manually placing supports under the barrels and also under the extra gasoline barrels or ledges on the back of some models.
Lets start with these and stay tuned as I will be updating and adding more pawns soon! As the single soldiers on risk are pretty small, I am probably going to replace them with some kind of a light vehicle.
5.5.2021
-Added M1A2 Abrams from the freedom land, Croatian M95 Degman, Finnish XA-203 and also the Challenger received rework to make it nicer.
7.5.2021
-Added Another finnish apc, the XA-360 or Patria AMV. This is intended to go with croatian tank as the AMV is widely adopted in the croatian military. Russians received BTR-90 and Rheinmetall Boxer was added to go with the Chally.
31.5.2021
-Added Artillery! Croatians now have the M-77 Oganj MLRS system. Decided to also make the M270 MLRS system as it is used by many countries like uk, usa, finland and many others.
-Added Stryker APC for Usa. Now every factions has their unique apc.
20.9.2021
ALL DONE!!
Finally got time between work and school to finish up this thing and here is the result in all of its glory!
-Added Uragan 1M Rocket shower to make the reds whole finally
-Modified XA203 to look a bit better, basically smaller tires
Happy conquering!

Filament: Any PLA Red for communism
Notes:
These are made to print pretty easy with 0.4mm nozzle. If you have 0.2 or smaller nozzle you could scale the APC's down to 70-80% for better scale and fit for the gameboard.
Unfortunately I used black filament for testing so its little hard to see shapes and details but they turned out really nice! Was not expecting this kind of results as this is my first small scale model and print :D
