New Shapeways Units

“YG”, @Young: AWESOME! ––I totally agree with your opinion of “Allworkandnoclay’s” painting talent. ----I’m sure you’d enjoy “SgtWilTan’s” thread about detailing units as well as “LHoffman’s” thread about painting them. They’re both really talented guys! ––In order for you to see all of the new units when they’re completed you might also want to stay tuned to my main thread because Sgt. Wil Tan has already detailed many new units that Lucas Hoffman will have painted before much longer. And I’m glad you enjoyed the “hoard”. “Tall Paul”

Thanks John, ill update this thread once more later when I finish those other troops… Oh I also replaced the some of the Japanese artillery with some from HBG, after which, I kinda liked the OOB ones better lol.

Thanks Dauvio. I appreciate it.

There is a golf Tee system used by one of the players here in Toronto. Met him at YG’s Tourney this year. Pretty cheap. Two tees of the same colour. One goes in country of origin, and the other goes into the battle territory. Just need to paint a few sets of Tees different colours, or use ones that are already coloured. Worked out nicely. If they are small enough, they aren’t very intrusive at all.

You guys might want to check these sites out. Or just scroll up above this post. @Imperious: I found it. http://corseceng.com/omni-stand/ This link has everything you need.  I will be using the black 30 mm stand with peg and micro magnets from the above link. I think for global 40 sets will suffice, possibly 50. Need micro magnets for all the planes ( about 80-90) and 40 for the stands. @Imperious: I am combining the resources for making these bases. This site has the proper magnets. Still looking for metal rods that are pre-cut about 2 inches. A friend of mine has the most perfect examples. Here is what he did ( reprinted from email). I bought the magnets from K&J Magnetics…  They were almost the smallest available size with a hole in the center to fit a 1/16" rod. I drilled holes in pennies, glued 1/16 inch brass rod into them, placed the magnet on top and glued it down. http://www.kjmagnetics.com/products.asp?cat=10 http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=RC22  ( this link has the base with 1/8 OD hole) @Gargantua: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=21083.0 Is a link where YOU personally link the instructional! Also http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=21207.0 @Gargantua: Somewhere in the customizations section a guy made a whole tutorial, with downloadable PDF’s.

@Der: Cool - go to the last page for latest downloads (7.0)! Missed that. Thx.

Paul - yeah… I applaud your stance on transport planes being separated from bombers.  I couldn’t agree with you more - my own rule is purely for simplicities sake for my 50th, it actually kinda bothers me still.  I only play A&A with my ‘old crews’ about twice a year (when I visit the states), otherwise my 50th hosts some players that haven’t played nearly as long as us - though all are interested in WWII history.  So I have to try and keep the piece differentiations to minimum. George - no worries, they’re Italians so they should get a long with my guys   Fantastic collection!  Like the individuality that those figs offer - I don’t own any, so are they pretty much the same size as the OOB?  Looks like it (except for the stands of course).  Gotta love those SS!  “HOLD ZE LINE!” That one Italian bomber… would never thought that shade of orange could be pulled off, but it looks pretty cool.  Might have to give that one a try.

I’ve demonstrated this method in a video on my new youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oNBL6d1o0U
