I’ve used the 1/16 x 1/32 magnets available from http://www.primalhorizon.com/products.php and I highly recommend them.

Custom Ship Deck Decal Sets

Hello everybody. I wanted to announce that AxisandAlliesBoardGaming.com has released new decal sets specifically made for the Axis & Allies naval game pieces from the following game versions: Europe 1940, Pacific 1940, Spring 1942 & 1941 Anniversary Edition.

This is the DIY option for those who want the enjoyment and challenge of painting their own game pieces. Now you can finish them off with precision-cut waterslide decals to give your creations a professional look. Each individual ship deck decal has been pre-cut to ensure a perfect fit every time.

It is very difficult to get a clean edge on your ship decks using a paint brush by hand. One side of the ship might have straight lines but the other side might be noticeably wavy or you painted onto the superstructure by accident. You can pay others to painstakingly paint your ships but that can be very expensive for an entire fleet or game set. With these decals, there are no more worries about the final look and feel of your ships. Now it is easy to produce game pieces like a pro, and you can paint as many pieces as you want and every one will look great.

These are sold in fleet sets that include deck decals for all the naval game pieces for the selected country and game version. Some examples:

The Italian Europe 1940 set – 26 ships in all.

That’s a lot of roundels for one aircraft.  :-D

when can i purchase your G40 custom card deck and whats the cost also is there any way I can get the 1 piece map already made and shipped thanx computers are nt my forte they re just a necessary evil for me thanx for all you do

I am working on the same project myself.
I decided to use #10 nuts and #16 1_1/4" finishing nails. I am epoxying the nail in the nut.
I don’t think this will be a fast process, but it is saving money. My design will be a little taller than the FMG Flight Stands.
I was able to get an infantry with 5 chips under a bomber with no chips.
And the #10 Nut is small enough to fit inside the inner circle of your chips.
I figure it will cost are $0.12 USD per stand. So it should have me about $250.

Watching GHG’s video Wolfshanze posted helped too.

@redindian thank you! I’ve now fixed the error in my original post link. These decks are now also available through Combat Miniatures, as well as on Make Playing Cards. If you have trouble getting what you need feel free to email me at mdt@byu.net.

@jluna1273:

I have been working on my pieces and did this for for flight stands: The base is a simple wooden knob from Hobby Lobby (they fit perfectly on the chips), I bought a box of 250 pin needles for $3, I crazy glued the needle to the base, finally I heated the other end on an open flame and pushed it right into the bomber. I melted right in and its very secure.

Good idea.  It’s interesting how sometimes how the best results comes from clever yet simple solutions that aren’t obvious to think of.
