Thanks  :-D

@thoes426:

Very nice! I really like the Singapore 1942 guns!
Thoes426 :evil:

Yeah - I like 'em.  With some house rules, it takes care of the straits issues.

Thanks guys.  I’ll be periodically posting the rest of the Germans this week - any suggestions as to what nation you’d like to see next?

Yeah - I use decals from Interstate 94.  How’d they work? Well at first… whew, frustrating. Some of this was due to inferior (before I discovered I-94) decals. That really does make a difference.  A couple other brands I tried had weak colors - bleed through, or you could see the dots from the printer, or the worst - they’d rip.  But once you get a method down - or check out some “how to” sites, it’s okay.  Still takes a lot of time, and coating is necessary to really seal 'em down (though I-94’s do take to dried acrylic really well - wouldn’t want to test it over time with handling though). Hmm - well, some intricate work is freehand, the “SS” and the nazi band itself is painted on, and of course the camo, tank treads, window work, the bomber girls, tank slogans, the Flying Tiger’s shark face, etc.  So really kind of a combo.

Glad ya like 'em!  Have to say the first time I took the set to a gaming group meeting (I usually only play with old friends) the reaction was quite overwhelming.  It provided quite a few laughs sometimes (since many units - that I’ll post, have names… like when the Sherman unit headed by Yankee Bill was the last unit - taking France by himself, or Brass Balls defended Manchuria on his own - a British tank).  :-D

@AA_fourlife:

Now……this is a great opportunity for you to start your own business.!!!  People send you thier pieces, and you (in exchange for money) does all that to the pieces and sends them back to the owner!

Yeah - thanks for the thought, but it’s just not feasible, for three reasons.  I couldn’t vouch for times of completion upon commission - not even a rough estimate, I think my pay rate would be unreasonable, and I’d rather encourage people to paint their own - love seeing other paint jobs!  Though I do have a large amount of painted minis I’d be willing to trade - I call 'em scraps but there’s nothing wrong with them - in this 50th edition, I made nearly every unit unique to it’s nation, but I didn’t know what I could find to replace what unit - it was a gradual thing.  So in turn, I ended up painting a lot of minis that I ended up replacing with what I’m posting here (for example, I use the T-34s from the '42 edition, but I gave the original T-34s form the AA50th a full paint job/decals).  But I’m getting ahead of myself - I’ll post the scraps later…  :|
