That’ll do it - and after you have used your playing pieces for a while, you’ll see if you need to spray a new layer of matt varnish.
2-3 layers - each layer thinly sprayed - and dry 24 hours between each layer.

Wunderbar :-o
J 8-)
PS and you can post pictures already :?
-
Well to be honest… i havent painted the swastikas or the iron cross. they are stickers i made in paint and printed out. :-D
It would be fun if more than me upload pictures of their painted pieces here. So we can inspire each other for the endless struggle to paint these little Fu**ers.
I started this project when i got unemployed. But i got a new job 1/3 in the process and the painting halted. When i restarted to end this pain, the tan paint had dried up. Thats life i guess… -
Great job
-
It’s a shame this has been shelved in -variants-, as it has nothing to do with any variant, and everything to do with 1942 edition…
I encourage anyone reading this to officially protest this moderator move! This great work should not be hidden!
-
The “work” is not hidden. Get over it.
Anything that related to Axis and Allies and is a modification to it in anyway by means of games or changes or modifications to equipment goes in Variants. It always has and always will.
-
It’s not worth protesting because you’re both right.
It doesn’t belong in 1942, it doesn’t belong in Variants.
Do we need an Axis & Allies General forum or Axis & Allies Projects for things like painted minis, custom boards, and other cool things people created with their bare hands?

Those are REALLY GOOD!
Keep up the good work swedo! -

Yes i think so. To inspire others or to find ideas how to paint or alter your pieces. Its fun to see how other did and ask why they did that way. If someone has questions how to do a certain thing, then there would a good place to ask.
This is how i painted my US and German ships:
-
Man that’s cool. You and field Marshall need to open a gallery or something…. Your running mate for the white house???
Will you paint my house like these? My wife says its cool.
I asked Field marshall if he could make me a pair of shorts on one of his schemes.
What a pleasure to see these. -
Agree with Gargantua… simple, elegent, identifiable.
I am in the process of painting now and things like this both inspire and give some darn good ideas… Mostly that means ripping off the guys who did all the hard work first. :-D
Very nice work.

WOW Hoffman. We agree for once… twice if you consider the POW camps lol…
What’s going on in your life!? Something must be wrong? Have you seen a doctor lately?

Actually yes, just got a physical two weeks ago and I am in perfect shape.
And I am not sure why you are so surprised… I barely remember if we had earlier squabbles but it seems like we agree on most things these days. You must have changed.
I have been tempted to conspire with you for a North American Alliance, whereby the United States and Canada can take over the world.

Oh I will, when I make any progress worth displaying. Right now I have one US carrier 75% done and one Japanese carrier 75% done; that’s it. I am trying to gather as much information from other people here so that the pieces really look the way I want them to.
Besides, this first batch is just a bunch of prototypes. I am experimenting on my Guadalcanal and A&A Revised sets to make sure I do it right on Global and my FMG/HBG pieces.
But I will put a picture or two up for comments when I am finished.
