Hey everyone! Here are some photos of my G40 custom job. I built this to be relatable to all players and only added features to subtly enhance playability. Dress right dress and standardization were the order of the day.

List of features:

1. NO MOLD LINES (all pieces were carefully sanded with sanding twigs)
2. LOW COLOR NOISE (no special camouflage or distracting colors)
3. Infrastructure replaced with actual pieces (all painted white)
4. Capital ships have magnetized hulls to “carry” orange damage markers
5. Aircraft Carriers are magnetized to “carry” aircraft
6. Aircraft magnetized to flight stands using “pin drill” technique for perfect balance.
7. Aircraft wear period correct decals for ease of spotting on the board (my exception to “color noise” reduction)
   *8) Some units were replaced for historical accuracy. Used only AH or WotC pieces to maintain aesthetic integrity. (exc: China P-40, artillery)

Punchline: TripleA is the most efficient online platform on which to play Axis and Allies. This allows players to play more games with the added benefit of playing a variety of opponents. More games against different opponents means a far more diverse range of experience which makes the AnA player more lethal in all his future games…including those played face to face.

@DMcLaren Hey thanks! Only with that version. Anniversary got the same treatment (kept it completely original) and currently tapping away at 1914. But I know what you mean. Once the bug bites…

@folewnik as a small time scale modeler, I very much admire your work. You have exceptional attention to detail so I thank you very much for this compliment.

@Ghoster Thanks! And that’s awesome! I think you’ll really enjoy the experience. I’ve been asked this several times now so I’ll just post it here and on YouTube:

Russia - TS-62 NATO Brown
UK - TS-46 Light Sand
USA - TS-28 Olive Drab 2
Germany - TS-6 Matte Black
Australia - TS-66 IJN Gray
Italy - AS-22 Dark Earth

the rest were bottle paints shot from an airbrush:
France - XF-18 (tamiya)
China - Interior Green mixed with some yellow
Japan - Model Master’s Italian Red mixed with Rust from the same company

The intro and Austria Hungary strategic video are posted for my new series on Axis and Allies 1914:

I used only the out-of-box pieces from the original game. The intent was to retain the flavor of the original while ‘enhancing’ the playing experience as inoffensively as possible. To that end, all pieces were sanded, primed, and painted in a color as close to the original as could be done. There are no mold lines or flash on any of these pieces. Even the chips are original. Enjoy!
