Inspired by Siredblood, General Handgranade, DKunsler, & DTroit: I also broke out the modeling paints after 35 plus years of putting those skills down. There are a lot of
great tips on youtube, check out the forementioned videos from the gentlemen listed above & it will open your eyes as to the steps needed to maximize your effort. After all if your are going to make the paint $$$ & time effort, you want to produce the best understanding that you will get better as you go. I began my effort in early December and have nearly completed my sets except for the soldiers, they require the most detail & hence I saved best for last. Depending on your budget: I found the following helpful:

1. modeler’s tweezers,
2. primer/paint cans available at HDepot/Lowes: they will provide excellent base coat & protect your pieces: pretty inexpensive.
3. nondrying children’s playdo: to keep units in place when you spray.
   The list goes on but def check out the videos.

I have to say the game definitely come to life with the paint/effort made. I don’t look at the game in the same way. Good luck to your effort!

@655321 true but once painted … u wont regret… cant have p38’s landing on a US aircraft carrier, right?

Ty James @ I Will Never Grow Up for making these available! After putting so much work into my customizations & knowing how much other enthusiasts have done the same, if not more, the flight stands will be put to good use… plus they match my previous purchases of the 25mm… the small footprint, weighted bottom, and ss finish are unmatched.

greenlight… from me… I love the steel ones I purchased from you; their awesome!!!

@Sarge got it. thanks.

Deadline is getting really close & campaign goal has not been met… we need to spread the word !!! I know the game has never been the same since I purchased these stands; totally different feeling when playing & looking at the map!

@Admiral-T What’s the latest Admiral-T?

@DMcLaren Just wow!

Just gorgeous.

@DMcLaren how do you do apply portholes… pen brush or other micro paint brush, ink pen? Please advise.

Truly fantastic… i can appreciate the before and after!

@DMcLaren thank you for the insight. I’ll have to re examine my painted vessels for my Global 1940 after I complete soldiers. its a lot of work but your have established and set the bar for finished work. Freaking Amazing… I already know I’m working under a magnifying lens to ensure my units are painted in detail…but even then the ships are on another level of
detail…
