Some more of my stuff and modifications.

Anzac ships.

Some examples from the Royal Navy.

Japanese.
Two CV’s with Combat miniatures flight decks. -
Sides look great on the CV’s! That’s a detail a lot of people don’t bother with, but I think it adds so much.

I’m to obsessive to skip visible areas.
Although now I skip aircraft bellies, after someone slid one and left a paint skid across the board. -
I had some real issues with lighting the U.S., the flight decks kept showing as black as the numbers.
Essex and Independence are Combat miniatures stickers with the flags flipped forward and numbers changed with decals.
My research had subs painted with 5-O or black, did half each. As my 5-O just disappears into the stock board color, had to paint the decks, or have free floating flags. -
Really have to give a big thanks to Hbg for this one.
Been looking for a 3D airfield markers that wouldn’t break my budget, Hbg had these derricks on sale.
Replaced the top with a 4mm cube, filed a roof pitch in it and added a base for stability.

Guess since I’ve got the airfields figured out, there’s no reason not to build a Naval base.
Additional.
A simple paint so the building stays visible.

Tanks, Tanks & more Tanks.

The tanks look fantastic. The wash really adds a lot to the finished look.

I absolutely love your work, may have to barrow the merchants in distress idea(fabulously done).Paint jobs,your use of washes,mods,everything.Please keep sharing.
-
Absolutely fabulous work. I especially love your skillful reuse of the old Milton Bradley A&A armor (as tanks were called in that edition).

Thanks all.
I think I keep those old tanks around to remind myself of where I started. Either that or I’m just lazy, and they’re pieces that didn’t need paint. Of course now is when I notice the British ones missed out on their wash. Just when you think the punch list is done.
@folewnik. Can’t wait to see them, I can imagine the tragic scenes. One warning, to much list makes them hard to pick up. -
Mech. Infantry

You’re Rockin it Hard Mister !!! Way cool :) -
“Meanwhile, in the basement of Doom.”
Was staring at a pair of twisted G-8Ns when I started to notice a few similarities to another bomber. Figured since I had a little time, went to work.
Plastic left over from control tower job made fuselage plug, milliput filled the nose. Still can’t believe I got the fin to stick.
Not perfect, but I think they’ll pass as B-29. Still debating how I’m going to do the windows.
-
There’s an idea! Great work on that mod. If I may make a suggestion on the windows- you could go with medium or dark grey. Black would also work.
Edit- forgot to mention: to “un-twist” those pieces from HBG, warm them with a blow dryer and they’ll most likely return to their original shape. Be careful you don’t over-warm and wilt the piece. Sometimes dipping the twisted section in very hot water will also work. I’ve used this method successfully on their Avengers’ twisted fuselage & crooked wings, and B-24 bent wings -
@DMcLaren
Don’t forget straightening ship hulls and tank gun barrels. Although, now you mention it, I think these wings were forgotten.
You’ll have to forgive an old man with CRS. HaHa. -
Yes! Although I’ve not photographed the tanks yet and FOlewnik used his heat gun to straighten the hulls of the Japanese light cruisers. Oh no- you have CRS, too? It’s genetic in my family and although my parents claimed to have it as soon as they started having kids, it didn’t seem to hit me until after 50. Fortunately, “Can’t Remember Stuff” isn’t contagious!
