John Brown's Painted Axis and Allies Pieces

[John Brown]

I now have great respect for you guys that paint, because it is tough. Spitfire38 is still doing my set, because he has a lot more time than I do, but I decided to give it a try.

I won’t be as good as some of you that have been painting awhile, but I thought I would take a crack at it, but in smaller portions.

Look for me to post only pictures of what I paint on this thread. The things that Spitfire38 is doing will be posted on his thread.

My metal map thread, will have a combination of any painted piece, I have.

Be on the look out for upcoming projects that I will post on this thread, concerning painted pieces.

Feel free to comment me with advice, critique my work or any praise will be greatly appreciative. :-D

Thanks,

John

Good luck John! May your paint be ever-so-smooth, your brushes finely shaped, and your fingers always nimble. Join the club. :)

Thanks guys, I appreciate the words of encouragement. Since you guys are so supportive, I will go ahead and show you, my only two paint jobs, I’ve done.

I painted 2 German BF 109’s.

The first one was a black BF 109. I tried to paint a simple white stripe by the side decals, the problem is, I don’t know how long you too wait for the acrylic paint to dry before you do nose coloring, stripes or camo. I used a gray primer, then I painted the main color black.

When I tried to paint the stripe, I had problems, even worse when I tried to paint the nose of the plane, it would have black still showing underneath. It was looking like one big glob of a mess.

Can you all explain how you do those things and make look smooth?

The second BF 109 was suppose to be a German Green Camo, with dark and light green stripes, here again, I don’t know when to add the next camo color, because I don’t how long you wait for it too dry.

For some reason, it came out awesome, because I smeared four colors and made this affect on the plane. Now, it doesn’t have the distinct camo lines, as the German green camo, normally has, but I think it still looks sharp.

I would fly it, LOL.

Also would have liked to had a yellow nose with yellow side stripes, but maybe, you all can give me some advice.

Without further delay, here is my first works. Enjoy! :-D
