Guys,

@coachofmany:

very nice!
**––I’m glad you enjoyed them. Lord knows I CERTAINLY ENJOY HBG’S PRODUCTS!

You, sir, are an inspiration.

Given time, I think I’ll “sincerely flatter” your works.

Thanks for the comments.

The purchases are optional for either the US or UK. All options rolled are worth more than 20 IPC so there is a incentive.
The fleet doesn’t get placed on the board until the end. This way the Axis have no idea what is coming.

It’s worked pretty good for us but might not be for all players.

Give it a try and let me know what you think.

one additional comment:

I recommend to follow the map1942.2-thread in the AA1942 section, the latest version of the map is linked there.

Anzac defender,

––Keep up the good work.
----I don’t know if you’re interested, but there is a company called I-94 Enterprises that make many, many decals that are useful for our A&A units.

Guys,

––Cyanight,….Nice Work!

––Although I orderred my Shapeways B-29’s a few months ago we haven’t been able to get them into the paint schedule yet. Too many Italian and Japanese aircraft along with several Infrastructure units.  Again,….Nice Work!

I made these 5 carriers from Pearl Harbor Akagi,  Kaga,  Soryu,  Hiryu and Zuikaku.  I didn’t include the Shokaku because like the Shinano its a bland looking carrier.  Strange that we used the Shinano sculpt but chose not to name or represent it, lol.

I posted the process I used and other pics in a different thread.

@John:

@kcheu:

yes, i know.�  I used to paint small pewter figures for a different game (it’s a D&D nerd here) and because I enjoyed painting them so it might definitely be up next.

I’ve played D&D as well. We are all nerds here, LOL! :-D

Speak for yourself… I’m a geek (which are a lot cooler than nerds).

Richard,

@Maofator:

Looking good Mr Johnson!
––Yes,…VERY NICE!
Although I’ve told you in person I realize I’d overlooked giving you some well deserved public acclaim. Your "stickers"are a novel approach and look very crisp and clean. Let’s talk further on the project I’d discussed with you earlier. Again,…Wel Done!

I know a producer in Germany, who could deliver a mixture of white dashed and continous lines decals (s. picture). One decal consists of 23 white lines, each of 125 mm length and 0,75mm width, where each decal is EUR 3,50. A direct shipping from the producer to the U.S. would be very expensive, it is about EUR 35,-. If you are interested in, I can order the decals and send it to you personally. This will cause shipping costs of roundabout EUR 10 (depending on the weight…).

The decal is a digital print, that is, you have to cut out the lines. More pleasant would be a screen print, then each line is spearated from the others as a distinct decal in the printing process.

The producer also offers an individual development of decals, but I don’t know how much this is in EUR or $. If you are interested in I will ask.

Redleg,

First, you have a beautiful family. Second, Your paint jobs look great. I have to really give applause to your freehand markings. It’s true decals are cleaner and sharper but I my self have used none on anything I’ve painted and I’m developing a way to layer and paint my own markings (It’s been holding up my project severely) I simply can’t afford to buy sheets of decals that I might only use a handful of.

One tip That I’ve adopted, is to use ultra-fine Sharpie permanent markers for small lines and details where a brush won’t do or may slop (canopy frames). Lastly I’ve learned from table-top gamers of much larger scale (Warhammer, Bolt Action) models that at the scale Axis & Allies models are you can “mass paint” with fewer details on many units to create large armies, fleets and air forces that will look phenomenal from eye level to table top . Anyway us A&A painters have our work cut out for ourselves. I salute you sir.

Anyway, keep on painting, Nice work.

So, i’ve put it up on the play store. Just search for BattleCalc

Hope you guys like it.

Thanks for the quick reply guys. :-) ill check him out

@Tall:

Guys,

––Here is an “in-process” pic of one of the U.S. Navy APD Fast Transports. These are the famous
“Green Dragon’s” that were re-built from WW-1 ‘four-piper’ Destroyers into Fast Transports to assist the Marine Raiders in their endeavors. The paint scheme utilises “Allworkandnoclay’s” talent to the max. The units are from Shapeways and have had their depth-charge racks removed so as to have the 48-star U.S. Flag applied to their stern decks. More on these six ships as they progress. Enjoy!
––Unless I’m mistaken these are the first highly detailed, painted and decalled SHIPS that the
WarMachine has done so far.

Tall Paul Â

That is definitely a cool looking transport. :-D

jwo,

––Really Nice Work!

Tall Paul

@General:

I love the level of detail to the map, have you considered using the Star of India from the British Raj for UK Pacific territories?

Glad you liked the custom map.  No, the idea of giving the British Pacific territories distinct roundels hadn’t occurred to me.  It’s a concept that has potential advantages, for instance because it would highlight Britain’s two-income situation in Global, but on the other hand I like having a single British roundel for the whole world because it highlights the extent of the British Empire.  (A grade-school child back in the1930s or so allegedly wrote in an assignment that “The sun never sets on the British Empire because the sun sets in the west and the Empire is in the east.”)

Hi, how is the work going ?
I am looking forward for that app.

Nice!

Does he happen to have a website or other example of work?

Im still working on this, just slowly as real life has taken hold.
I shifted my priority from Seelowe, to a European air war, with a possible expansion to the air war on the east.
One thing Im working on is air base cards.
The reason behind this is that Im not using chips and counters, but rather HBG and picoarmor air units.
Thus, in order to reduce the clutter, I decided to use air base cards.
As of right now, the air bases are generic runway and hanger pictures. Though I hope to create more detailed cards of individual airbases.

The map. Having trouble making the map. I been using AnA Europe as my map.
Just thought to give a small update on the progress.
Once I get the airbase cards done, Ill upload them so you guys and gals can download them.

Till the next update, Ill be testing when I can.
Thanks for reading this.
