Cyanight's Customizations

@Tall:

Cyanight & Others,

––Nice looking units!
––Although I’m certain that most everyone knows,…I thought it needed to be pointed out that the delay isn’t HBG’s fault,…but more than likely due to the longshoreman’s strike on the west coast ports that are delaying our entire economy at the moment. I’m sure Doug at HBG would like nothing more than to sell these games to us all.

Again, Nice Work!
Tall Paul

I kinda figured that was part of the problem.

Rita Japanese Bombers (used in place of the Project-Z Bombers from the Amerika set for Heavy Bombers)

[John Brown]

Those are very nice! If the allies can’t see them coming, then their in big trouble, LOL. :-D

P51 Mustangs

[John Brown]

I have to say these are impressive. Awesome job on the mustangs! :-D

[cyanight]

Thank you sir :)

[John Brown]

There so shiny and metallic. I love the look of the silver. They look so real. :-)

I used alcohol based silver paint. The water color silver tends to clump up.

I see. Man, LOL, I didn’t know their was an alcohol based paint. Good to know. :-)

Vallejo Model Color Metallic (Alcohol-Based). They make Silver, Gold, Old Gold, Rich Gold, Red Gold, Green Gold, White Gold and Copper.  The paint is very runny but when it dries its very smooth and shiny.

Cool, I was wondering what it was on their website. I just got my first shipment in from Warpainter. I got everything I asked for, except they sent me two paints that were wrong, but I can still use them, I told them. :-)

Wow, Cyanight, you had an explosion of awesomeness didn’t you?

Where did you get the swastika decals on the bases?

Wow impressive paint job on the sleeves!

Awesome Tiger’s buddy!

Very, very nice! :-D

[cyanight]

Thanks again John :)

I got the swastika decals on ebay and the sleeves are actually small flag decals from HBG.

Here are some pics of our game last week.

[John Brown]

Wow Cyanight, those are awesome pics of your map and painted units.

Those are the better roundels, I’m assuming?

I can’t wait for the day when all my painted units will be on my metal map. This gives me something to look forward to.

Now that you almost have all your units painted, except for the new things being released, that has to feel pretty good doesn’t it? :-D

[cyanight]

Thanks John :)

Yea, its nice to be done but I also feel like its a never-ending project by constantly updating with new pieces. I enjoy adding new pieces and still waiting on HBG’s Amerika and US Expansion set. Hopefully by next year at this time I will have those pieces. I’m looking forward to their French, Italy and German expansions as well but those could be years away.

I did have a problem with the Artillery pieces that I glued to Infantry bases that I cut from old infantry pieces. It seemed the glue did not hold well and the Artillery bases broke off. Any ideas on how to fix that would be great.

Super glue not working on it?
