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.

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

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

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

Hey Chad,

when you paint the infantry, which areas of the body do you paint first… after priming that is?

I just think of them as a person putting on layers - skin, then hair, then clothes, then accessories.

I think this approach works best. You’ll find that skin often needs more than one coat to get the correct color, and by the end of the job, you need to touch up some parts anyway. I generally do a base coat on everything, then once I get to the accessories (IE gun, backpack, etc) I start putting the paint on thick. After all the basic coats are finished I go back and touch up the skin, then helmet, then clothes.

Make sure to use exact recipes when mixing paints (IE 1 to 1, 1 to 3) and to write them down, as when you go back to do touch-ups, you’ll have trouble blending in with previous colors.

Thanks for the advice Chad, I appreciate it.
