Thanks Tolerone, I really worked on these. My next project will be the desert scheme. It should be a lot of fun. :-)

[John Brown]

Guys, phase three of the Luftwaffe will be the desert camo. I will not give a timeline, because I’m going to be experimenting more with this set and this is a busy time for me, but I will post them when I’m done.

Thanks guys! :-)

Nice work John! I hope you enjoyed painting them.

Nice work John! I hope you enjoyed painting them.

Thanks Spitfire! It was fun, but I’m learning, when your very tired, it is not a good time to paint, because you make too many mistakes, especially if your decaling.

There were a couple of times, I made some mistakes, and it was because I was too tired.

I won’t do that again, LOL, but overall it is fun! :-D

Nice work John……looking good!

Nice work John……looking good!

Thanks buddy! I appreciate it. :-D

Guys, I’m just curious, am I using too much protective coat or is it just the lighting in my pictures. I notice my paint jobs have tiny bumps or is that normal?

Any help would be appreciative.

Thanks,

John

John,

The pieces look great. As for small bumps it could be many things they’re not really noticeable. One thing to remember is the scale you’re working with. These pieces will be seen from a couple feet away thus they are perfect from a tabletop point of view.

I’ve researched this from miniature war game painter’s techniques. In otherwords when painting large armies in small scales the greatest effect is achieved by not a single model but the grouping of many models on the tabletop which create the “wow” factor.

If you get on YouTube look up 6mm miniature painting and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

All in all I think your pieces look great and anyone playing with them is going to get an extra level of depth and excitement playing the game.

Thanks Tolerone. I’m a perfectionist, and I sometimes look at flaws, instead of the positives. As long as you guys like them, I’m pleased.

I just want to improve my painting and decal work.

Thanks again! :-D

Excellent work John.  I don’t know how I missed these. The camo on those planes looks great!
