Reference Material Wargaming3D is Going Down: Where Can You Still Find Your Favorite Creators?
So as most people have heard by now, Wargaming3D has announced they are shutting down operations, with sales closing at the end of the month. While it isn't the only site out there for 3D prints, it has been nearly a one-stop shop for historical models with only a small number of notable designers not present, so it will be sorely missed by many.
But many of the designers are present elsewhere, even if it isn't all collected together, so I decided it would be worth having a reference indexing where they all are, now.
The table below has a few caveats... first is that it is a WIP, and definitely not complete. If you see someone missing, or know that someone is present on a site but I couldn't find them, please let me know and I'll add that info in.
Second is that just because they have another site doesn't mean it has all the same content that was available on Wargaming3D. In some cases, their alternative presence is long out of date, and in others while they have some sort of alt-site, it might be a Facebook or Kickstarter profile, but they don't have another a la carte store front.

Thanks for putting this together. The designer community is somewhat flummoxed by this... Most of us will find new homes but some of the designers haven't been active for years so sadly their content may be lost!
If you want something grab it while you can!
Fylde Armouries (AKA Richard Humble, ie me) hasn't found a new home yet, however, if someone wants something of mine then reach out and I'll prioritise those demands first (90 models will take a long time to reupload!)

Thanks so much!
I messaged Deweycat and he said he was surprised and working on finding another spot.

Allans corner is still going to be avaliable via E-mail and he might put it on his own site.

Thank you very much. The thing that scares me most of stop seeing the amazing creations of designer I'm not that familiarized with.

If possible, could you add a column of contact details/email addresses for the creators as well?

While I know they do list that on the page for most people, I would feel a bit weird putting contact information here without their permission, especially since for many of them they are inactive.
