We order from GBS enterprises. They have mattress protectors in all sizes., and they are water proof.
Any good mattress protectors should be water proof, and I’m sure there are other companies that sell them.
We quit using mattress pads, because it takes the feel away from a new mattress, because of the padding in them.
I live in Reno, Texas which is a community just north of Paris, Texas.
Been in the bedding business for over 30 years.
Went to a few colleges, but never graduated from any.
The Lord wanted me to help in father’s business, and been doing this since ‘89.
I will definitely put you on my prayer list, and hope you can find someone who can paint your set.
Best wishes to you
John Brown
Thank you, I’ve gotten better at painting over the years but having trouble finding time.
I see. Always good to hear from a fellow Texan. Yes wish I could help but I’m taking over my fathers business. He turns 80, and needs to retire.
Our whole delivery crew walked out on my Dad and I a couple weeks ago.
No one wants to work any more, and I’m delivering beds for first time in years when I should be helping at our store.
But these are the times we live in.
Nice talking with you, and wish you nothing but the best.

I paint just my own pieces, but barely have time for mine, lol, because I run a retail mattress store.
I myself, hired a painter before I ever got into painting my own pieces, his name on these forums, is Spitfire38, but he had to stop painting after college, because he landed a full time job, after school.
If you talk to the painter who paints for combat miniatures, I believe he paints, you would just have to find out if he paints a whole set or pieces and what price he charges.
He is the only one I know, right now.
Appreciate it. There are many talented painters on these forums. I recommend looking all through the customization threads.
Lots of good stuff.
One thing that has helped me, find inspiration, is I will google images of each piece I do.
I will also look others who have painted and that gives me, inspiration, as well.
Here are all my customization posts in the past.
I hope this helps you!
Enjoy!
Here is where you can buy Global 1936 pieces.

Yes, at first I hired a painter to do my global 1940 set, but he got a new job, and started a family.
I’m currently finishing my global set.
I’m on France, now, and then Russia will be my last country to paint, then I will be painting facilities, and then I will go back to each country, and all the 1936 Global pieces that I need, then I will be painting last but not least Pro-Allies, Pro-Axis and Neutral countries.
Your about 7 hours away, not far as some, but definitely a day’s drive.
What part of Louisianna do you live?
Will this game come with the miniatures?
How did you get the red stripes on, so perfectly, on the fighter?
Is it a decal made for it, or did you have to cut the stripes down to size?
Great job on these planes.

Wow, that is really cool, to replicate that.
It would be cool to see it person. 
I ordered these, and they are awesome.
Great job, YG!
I was fortunate enough to be there, as well, and combat miniatures is right.
It is a fantastic game.
I like a table of contents, because it divides the rule sections, and tells what particular page, it is on.
It makes things easier, to look up.
I’m so glad your still working on this.
Can’t wait to purchase this game.
Cheers!
John
@Combat:
I do know that some finishing touches on the Rule Book are being done as we speak Map and play testing is complete.  He had some issues with Artist, (3) to be exact, that delayed the game to be finished. I estimate a fall release.
That is great, to hear. 
I haven’t heard anything in awhile.
I hope he hasn’t, abandoned it.
It was an awesome game, to see played, at HBG headquarters.
Your certainly welcome. It will definitely help for sure.
Thanks for doing this!
Cheers!
John
Just bought these, today, from you.
Thanks for doing this!
Cheers!
John
Really, superb work. These are really good.
Hey David, I just purchased a gold badge.
Thanks.
