Accurate Miniature Equivalents for Custom Painting your 1940 E&P

[Viracocha]

@Brain:

Are Vallejo paints good for painting metal miniatures?

Yes they are - with a primer coat - and make sure you spray a finish on them after (or more than one).

What is a good primer?

Hmm… I’ve never had any trouble with a particular brand of primer, so any of 'em will do I suppose.  If you’re painting metals, I’d certainly use more than one coat of semi-gloss on the finished pieces.

Thanks Viracocha, that’s what I thought.

Thanks for the props! I will let you all in on a new secret… I’ve started painting BotB! Starting with US, then the few Brit troops, and ending with zee Germans. I will keep everyone up to date with a thread in the BotB forum.

Allwork your set is finished if I’m not mistaken. Are you working on a price.

He hasn’t done the Brits for India yet to complete the P40 set. Plus, he’s painted some extra pieces outside the P40 set like the US trucks.

@Imperious:

No its called the Doomsday Chicken variation. I play it like a berserker who may attack anybody, while they try to win. Its moves are random and it can take damage and die. Some newTechs allow you to control it for a time, but the enemy can blow up the transmitter that controls it.

I also play a Giant Ants variation based on Them! 50’s sci-fi movie

Them! was an awesome movie!

Man the Navy of the US was awesome! I can’t wait to see the Russian and German pieces in action.

[LilTheo]

When are you going to give us a price?

I’d like to order a set pleeease.

I guess we are going to have to wait for AAE40.

[Commander JayVon]

I love the U.S Navy, especially those carriers!

Can’t wait to see the British-Indian pieces vibrantly brought to life.
