Plano Molding is definitely the best and is what use as well. :-)

@John:

Congratulations to you, and KNP! :-D

Hear hear!

Appreciate it Marc! :-)

Hey guys, for those of you interested in stickers, rather than decals, Ray is trying to make as many World war 1 and 2 stickers from all different countries.

Keep telling him what you want, and he will try to make it.

He has told me some of you have been requesting many different things, so all your ideas are being heard.

Just wanted update this info to you, because it is working. :-)

@LHoffman:

Personally, I like the idea of having that area all around the board for all players to use. The good thing about not having made a table yet is that you can steal the best ideas from everyone else and incorporate them into your own.

Yes, that’s the nice thing about having a discussion forum where people share the result of their customization projects: it not only motivates people to try projects of their own, it also provides lots of ideas on which to drawn (sometimes including hard-won knowledge derived from failed experiments).

I have some pictures of my table in this thread:

The photos which best show the side wings are titled 1 Left Table.jpg and 4 Right Table.jpg.

BAH!!! I was going to order them from https://www.litko.net/BMaker/ but if im going to custom order them I dont want to alter them. Especially if I go with something as clean as the Clear. I could go bigger… say match the size of the standard chips so they still stack nicely but i still think I will have the problem of them being top heavy in the end, especially since I want to have them 1.5" high and not just the one inch. I thnk Im going to hold out and try to snag up some 11mm dia 3mm thick steel blanks for a base. May take some time, but here’s to hoping

Thanks you for the reply! E-mail sent to Chessex - looking forward to getting these.

@wartorn:

EXCELLENT!!! These are amazing. These will be easy to trim out to just an outline. Thanks a bunch!!!

My pleasure.  Good luck with your project.  When you refer to putting the unit images in each country, are you talking about modifying a digital version of the map or are you talking about printing out something on paper and placing it on the physical map?  Just wondering.

I plan on modifying the digital map from YGH’s post a while back. I do like the map that cyanight made for his sheet metal table, so i think i may end up using that one (base map is the same as YGH’s, but with a couple of alterations)  http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=33872.0

That’s great news!!! I can hardly wait!!!

@John:

I don’t know what everyone else likes, but I like videos. For example, you showing everyone how to put these I 94 decals on or how you do those awesome dry brush techniques, you are always talking about, or the whole process of a painted piece, from the time you prime it to the finishing coat, including how to place the decals on.

Any of those would be cool videos! :-D

Good to know! I have never tried videos, as I don’t have the camera skills (or the camera, for that matter) to film close up like that. I have friends around who have the equipment though, so I might give it a shot.

@jwo1984:

Hey spitfire… I liked the layout of yor original painting tutorial… With stages photos befores and afters with descriptions under each photo and stage.  I would like too see some face washes you use on infantry men. And some washes you use for a variety of infantry moulds. Even a gallery too showcase some of your personal playing pieces would be cool!

I will definitely do a tutorial on washes! I’m planning on doing another in depth infantry tutorial, so that will feature the face washes you’re talking about.

Game time this weekend, Axis won with Japs taking India, Pearl and Filips!  8-)

@DiscoKnekt:

Nice table! Really like the NO cards! We have a problem that people tend to forget what NOs they have so we need some kind of reminder, maybe this is solution! Is there any chance you could share the file for the cards so that i save some time typing them? :)

My NO card deck will be available soon, I will let you know by PM how you can get one when they’re ready.

@crusaderiv:

YG……great card…I love it.
I’ve used A&A card for long time but yours are awesome…

AL.

Thanks Crusaderiv, I’ll be making my national objective deck available first, and then I will look for time to complete my R&D deck.

@Tall:

Richard,

––Again, nice paintjobs!

----If you don’t mind me  asking, were these units made using (FUD) frosted ultra detail plastic?

Tall Paul

I believe I did.  I should of spent a little more to get a smooth finish.  These will do, but going forward I will spend the money and get what is a nicer finish.
**––Yep,…it sounds like we both agree that spending the extra bucks to have units produced in FROSTED ULTRA DETAIL (FUD) plastic is EXTREMELY WORTH the additional cost,…not to mention the end result looks SOO much better than the rough surfaces of lesser materials.
----And BTW, your paint jobs are great!.

Tall Paul**

Thanks for the compliments

Richard,

––Really nice paintjobs on the ‘Cats’!

----I, too, am a big fan of the Shapeways units having over two hundred of them so far. The detail on all of them is the ultimate,….and your paint jobs only add to that. It’s just about ‘killin’ me to have to wait while all of these awesomely detailed units make their way through the painting que. Well, in the end it will be worth it. Again,…nice work on the ‘Cats’.

Tall Paul

Just looked over your thread again spitfire. Saw you 190’s very cool effect they do look like they may have been supporting some of rommels Afrika core in The desert! Ever thought of showcasing some of your other units spitfire? Maybe more of your air? I would love to see more of your renditons of airpower for the nations! Lhoffman has some great air he painted with just about every air unit type painted for the Germans in dark green schemes.

Just to follow up: this picture from knp7765’s sculpt evolution post…

…has a shot of a Anniversary British BBs next to its 1942 counterpart that gives a good idea of the size difference.

Sorry for the confusion.  Yes I was talking about real flags.  I do appreciate the responses and the decal flags are nice for ideas.  I am also in the process of creating miniature flags for my board instead of using roundels.

@Spitfire38:

Hey John, I have painted them before. It was painstaking, but I think I can simplify it a little bit and make it look good. I will see what I can do. Once I get my hands on my old pieces, I can send you a photo of my old Flying Tiger! Also, are you planning on using the P-40 Warhawk for that?

Great, I was worried about that.  I’m going to finalize everything and send you China and Australia, next. My sticker guy has not got back with me on the Union Jacks, so I will not be sending UK Europe and Pacific, at this time, till I get some answers. Yes, the OOB P-40 is what I will have you paint.

I’m going to try to ship you these by next Monday. :-)

Has anyone ever created a WWI era global map that shows the entire world as opposed to just the European, Africa, and Eastern Seaboard of the US?

Hmm interesting cynight…. I recieved 4 hurricane fighters with my set… Is that standard with the order?  Thanks for the boiling water method I will try that this weekend and hopefully be Painting some units this weekend :)
