Hello, This is Greg with AxisandAlliesBoardgaming.com. I’ve finished my Dauntless paint schemes and would like to share theme with you. The showcase piece is the Marine version of the Dauntless. I just love the distinctive color scheme of the period with the yellow upper wings and the colorful use of red striping. All faithfully recreated here on a base of Humbrol Polished Aluminum Metal Cote paint that gives these pieces a unique sheen. I think you’ll appreciate them as much as I do.

These planes look striking when loaded onto carriers like my 3D print CV-6 Enterprise shown here.

See the Dauntless and more at https://www.axisandalliesboardgaming.com/USN_SBD-1_Dauntless/p6576831_20440046.aspx

Here is the rest of my Dauntless line up. The pre-war version is here as we’ve been discussing. I also have an early-war and mid-war variants painted with an Intermediate Blue upper color for historical accuracy and a lighter underside color. The late-war version might seem boring in comparison, but the dark sea blue color really makes them “pop” when loaded on an aircraft carrier.

I always include insignia on both sides of the fuselage and on upper and lower wing surfaces. After seeing planes from other custom painters, I found that not everyone does this. It does take longer to produce but I think the end result is worth it.

Here is my 3D print CV-9 Essex loaded with an F4U and a late war Dauntless.

Here is my HBG version of the Essex class carrier CV-11 Intrepid loaded with a late war F4F Wildcat and Dauntless.

I think these planes look great and I hope you do too.

Hello everybody. This is Greg over at www.AxisandAlliesBoardGaming.com.

Here is a sample of my latest offerings. I’ve added USA, UK & German fleet hull camouflage patterns.

New options are available for infantry. Here are the upgraded infantry with a national flag on a red base.

And these are my “best” level infantry. These are meticulously detailed hand painted pieces and look absolutely fantastic.

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.

The German 1941 Anniversary Edition set – 42 ships in all.

The French Europe 1940 set – 18 ships in all.

The US 1941 Anniversary Edition set – 48 ships in all.

Hello everyone. I wanted to share my latest Essex class carrier customization.

There is a famous picture of an Essex class carrier where the hull camouflage is prominently displayed. I wanted to reproduce this late war hull pattern for piece and give it a deck a similar style as my other US carriers.

I used this image as my source for port and starboard hull camouflage patterns and color scheme.

This game piece is from HBG and it is sold in 5 packs, so I gave them deck numbers 9-13.

I’ve added two magnets so they hold 2 aircraft each. You can find these on my site here.

These are my latest pieces. You can choose the SS division or go with the German flag. See this and more at www.axisandalliesboardgaming.com.

@Mr-Kell I’m working on Ju-87’s now. Will be available shortly. Still fussing with the canopy to get it looking as good as the Dauntless. I will post pictures here when I’m finished.

I have created a new line of roundel decals for A&A infantry units.

The USA and UK players have different roundel options for the Global 1940 game to differentiate commands - US ETO, US PTO, UK ETO, UK FEC and UK SEAC.

I also have specialty roundels to add customized capabilities to your game.

These decals are on sale now at sponsor sites A&A Boardgaming. Enter DECALS20 to get 20% off all decal items.

Hello, the store url is shown in the posting - www.axisandalliesboardgaming.com.

Here is a preview of my new 3D print cruiser - USS Cleveland CL-55.

The level of detail on this ship is incredible. This sculpt was created and scaled by EBard for Axis & Allies. I’ve taken it and added custom decals and paint to create something uniquely special. This piece establishes a new level of quality and will become a conversation piece during your next game. Check out the exacting deck details (I think the top down view photo shows this best).

You can view the entire new 3D cruiser line up at https://www.axisandalliesboardgaming.com

The new 3D print aircraft carriers, battleships and cruisers are bring your game to the next level. The sculpts are scaled for A&A by EBard. The level of detail on these pieces is frankly stunning. Nothing you’ve seen comes close to these finished pieces. Check these out!

Here are the Northampton, New Orleans and Atlanta.

I have finished the British Mosquito and Halifax decal kits compatible with E40/P40 OOB game pieces.

These kits make 6 fully detailed game pieces. The Mosquito has two camouflage color schemes to choose from - early war and late war.

I use color to differentiate land-based aircraft from the naval versions and only allow naval pieces to perform carrier operations. I use the grey color scheme to signify naval capability.

Here is the underside view.

The Halifax heavy bomber decal kit also makes 6 fully detail bombers.

@John-Brown All the colors except for the nose cone, is a decal. Both the cowling and fuselage stripes are decals. I could not paint such a straight line myself so I resort to decals. The end result, in my opinion, is excellent.

@Mr-Kell I’m working on Ju-87’s now. Will be available shortly. Still fussing with the canopy to get it looking as good as the Dauntless. I will post pictures here when I’m finished.

@Mr-Kell I couldn’t confirm that only the Marines used this color scheme. It just seemed like all the pictures I looked at were from Marine squadrons so I attributed this specific scheme to the Marines. Perhaps because of their better media exposure they have more pictures than the Navy squadrons? Anyway, I do like the final output, and the canopy turned out really nice. I just don’t have the hand-eye coordination that some do to paint these so I have to rely on other methods. And I am creating a DIY decal set for the Dauntless game piece and is due out soon.

Yes, that is what it means - the circle and the feet cut outs are already made so they fit the infantry base exactly.
