Allow me to translate:

“Mine first though, because I’m special, and I had a horrible birthday last year.”

I think that you should have a spelling contest and paint a set for the winner.

Any particular books you can recommend, you know, for references and illustrations regarding unit camos/colors, etc?

I remember seeing a book series on infantry, I can’t remember the name per say, but I think it was called ‘Men at War’. I believe, or rather assumed it contained such illustrations and references. Don’t run to the bank with it though.

For the other units, (especially those naval ones) I would love to see what AWANC used.

lol, AWANC and ANZAC

[Variable]

Yep, the Osprey brand books have great illustrations for all periods of infantry. They don’t cover machines though, so I’ve been going off of AllWork’s stuff with my own little changes.

I’m an american and I do not eat at Burger King. Burger King is for people who like re-heated food. It is a shame that the younger generation will never get a chance to taste how good they used to be. There are so many better choices than Burger King. I am surprised they stay in business. I guess when people are in a hurry, they will eat any crap that is put in front of them. You know the last time I was in Canada, I think I saw the same crappy fast food restaurants up there, so obviously there are Canadians eating that same garbage.

Oh well back on topic…

If I was to paint my figures they would probably look like cheeseburgers :-D

[Commander JayVon]

Can’t wait to see the USN.

[Variable]

Yes, we are a bit overdue… Bring on the 'Mericans AllWork!

I am eagerly awaiting. Are you going to wait for Europe to come out before painting Russians, Germans, Italians and French.

Great job Variable. I think this might hold me over for a bit.

[Commander JayVon]

Those are good, Variable.

I especially like the tropical camo done on the Betty.

That’s my version of AllWork’s camo over bare metal. It’s my favorite too. I had fun with the carriers, making one a “late war” version with a tarred deck.

Next up is subs, artillery, and destroyers. This is a lot of work, especially considering the GC set is WAY smaller than the P40 set. I can imagine the work that AllWork has put in!

[Commander JayVon]

Definitely!

Still, you two make it look damn good. I hope to do that with the miniatures I’ll be painting over the summer.
