Accurate Miniature Equivalents for Custom Painting your 1940 E&P

@knp7765:

I just now checked out your pics at your site.  They are truly amazing.  I’ve done some model work and thought I had a pretty steady hand for tiny work, but I couldn’t match these.  Especially the roundels on the bases of the infantry.  How on Earth can you do that?!?  I’m really looking forward to seeing your German units.
A couple of questions:
Are you going to do other Italian units or just the infantry?
When the FMG Italian units come out, are you going to get a set and paint them?

Thanks! Yes I’m going to paint the rest of Italy - when I get time. And I plan on getting sets of the FMG units, but I’m not sure whether I’ll do another set. That would be insane.

By the way, I’d also give a 25% discount if you order by the bulk (ie 25 or more).

As a special one-time Xmas special, I’m offering $.50 off each miniature until Dec 25th!

I’m listing 5 infantry from each nation on eBay if anyone wants a chance to win them at $6 a piece.

Yea - all the rest of the nations will have to wait until after the trip. Twelve days left in the US!

Here’s a couple of commissions I worked on lately… I unfortunately didn’t take pictures of them all.

Italian Strategic Bombers (this will be part of my complete set when I get around to it)

@17Mark71:

If one were skillful with an xacto knife they could carve up the nose of the Italian bomber to make it look like a tri-motor.

I’m actually thinking about doing that, but just sculpting a new nose out of green stuff instead then casting the result.

Hi,

can you explain your way to paint? Did you use a primer (spray or brush?) after washing them with soap?

I buy some Vallejo acrilic (water based) colors… what do you think?

I use Vallejo paints myself first spraying them with a black primer (airbrush). You can find much more detailed descriptions of my processes if you scan through this (huge) thread.

I know it’s an insane jumble of

@Stickman:

Just got Battle Cry, would you consider doing Union and confederate troops from the American Civil War?

I suppose so, but I don’t have time to do so now.
