Accurate Miniature Equivalents for Custom Painting your 1940 E&P

[Guest]

@allworkandnoclay:

Thanks! I plan on taking some Pacific 1940 setup pics once Japan is finished.

By the way: I was thinking USA next… What do you guys want to see?

The only country that is left is USA right?

Oh yeah, my bad. ANZAC or UK, they all look alike to me.

I guess he’ll have to paint the Union Jack on the pieces so that you can tell them apart.

I’m actually rather curious to see UK next, just because I’d like to see how our glorious painter makes them distinct from the ANZAC forces.  Though I doubt anyone here would complain if US comes next, because these paint jobs are INCREDIBLE.

Makes me wish I had the time, patience, and fine motor skills to paint my own A&A pieces.  But no, all I’ve got is pieces envy.  :-P

BD - it’s not a Union 'J unless its at the prow of a ship, the pole is wooden.

Fantastic paint jobs… still waiting for the rest…

I tried to figure out what you meant but all I found was information supporting my statement:

Just josh’in, but yeah, it’s not termed a union Jack by British mariners unless (above) - just a tidbit of relatively useless knowledge. Wiki not including it doesn’t surprise me, could only know if - yadda yadda.

By the way Allworkandnoclay - threw out a link of some of those painted minis I was talking to you about.

I must have forgotten, which minis were those and what is the link?

By the way, I saw your painted minis in the AA50 forum and your pieces are fantastic.

Forgotten?  I only knew by accident because I floated down the Thames, eh eh eh.  Good stuff.

Yeah, no kiddin’!, I cant believe the detail. Hey Viracocha, did you make your own decals for the lettering.

[Viracocha]

THanks guys! Oops - I don’t have a painted 1940, -

Striped Camo (Mainland China)

Reticulated Camo (Late War, Tropical)

Fantastic paint job, V! It doesn’t take much to update a painted A&A50 set to 1940 - just China, ANZAC, France (we assume), mech inf, and tact bombers (maybe a naval vessel as well? I forget). What did you seal your pieces with? Also are those decals or hand painted lettering?

Coming up next: Japanese Navy, Six more Japanese Mech Inf, and the Six Chinese Artillery I forgot to do.

I love all the air force camos but I think that would be hard to keep track of on the board
by the way what is your other project
