Tricked out my AA50th - pics in a bucket

[Yavid]

how hard would it be to cut 2 of the engines of the bombers from classic? oh and have it looks good when it’s done.

Hi, I would very much like to see your painted collection. I had difficulty seeing your collection in photo bucket. Is their anyway you can post your pics. I have most of my own miniatures pianted, some look good others not so good. Painting my own miniatures has been a long project. When I figure how to I will post some of my painted minis. If you want to you can see some of my own in youtube. Look me up, and check out my videos.

––Just what particular aircraft are you wanting to end up with. The reason I’m asking is that there are already many two-enine bombers produced. Between all of the Out Of Box, Historical Board Gaming, Field Marshal Gaming, and now Shapeways units,…you have MANY, MANY, choices already.
----You might want to also check-out all of HBG’s Global Warfare 1939 Expansion Sets that are coming out very soon.

sorry for the late reply. I was asking because I really wanted 2 engine bomber for UK and ANZAC to hold me over until HBG did one. Well right after I asked they made the B-25 available in UK tan and ANZAC grey so there’s no need or want to try to make some from classic bombers.

Overhauled this edition over the years - have some random pics to post before going unit-by-unit pics (and to get a handle on the new cam).

Having trouble posting images…

[Viracocha]

Random - darn it.  Still “413 Request Entity Too Large” (even on text posts (?)).  I vaguely recall having troubles on this forum before in regard to pics.  Easier to just post on BBG and post the link here?  Mod?

Viracocha, if you resize the picture to 40% zoom, instead of keeping it at 100%, usually that will work.

Try that and see if that helps. It worked for me. I can’t wait to see your photos.:-)

[Viracocha]

Well… I’m having that response when simply posting with no pics even, like every 3rd attempt to post.

Wow, I guess you do need a moderator’s help. Man, I’m sorry your having so much trouble. I would pm him that your having troubles, because I don’t know how often a moderator looks at the posts.

My Friend and V.I.P. “V”,

––Hey man it’s good to hear that you’re still among the living! (grin) How have you been and do you have any new pics?

Heyo Paul!

Yeah - been around a bit, I’m ok now.  But even in travels I managed to take some paint and figs with me, so yeah - I do have some new pics but uhh… different phone/cam + laptop and had some trouble uploading.  Will give it another go ~

Heya Paul -

Whew….been a long time yeah?  Think I have some time again to meander around here a bit  :wink:  I have nearly completed overhauling the whole of the AAA edition of mine - was trying again to start posting…

Later edit: Yeah…I have posted a photo of some artillery, but it may be that it’s my camera…really bad detail when it comes to using it (a phone) that close.  But I have an idea or two - will try again soon~

@Viracocha

Many years ago, completed and made for global travel so as to have global war.

There were many games abroad until running afoul with a malicious border guards about a dozen years ago…my AA50th has been redone again, well, not yet - almost. This set is for a set of house rules of a 1 branched tech. tree, in case you’re wondering as to the different units. I’ll start with the USA thus far… ![2020-03-25 13.40.58.jpg] ![2020-03-25 14.28.36.jpg] ![2020-03-25 14.30.40.jpg]
So the top dark greens and some trench coats for winter climes are the standard US GI’s, a lot of changes for these infantry - so many cool sculpts out there. I settled on these the second time around - they give me that playing with large gummy type soldiery as a young lad, yet detailed enough to be pretty spot-on in regard to historical reflection and “fluid” or realistic looks/poses. There are a few from a different set mixed in - some lighter uniforms and gear for the Pacific infantry.
Airborne are next - chose the 101st but have some Army Angels as well (not pictured). These come with the Parachute tech dev. - Airborne, must be purchased with a reg. infantry, +1 the 1st combat round when dropped in. Can act as an escort in commando raids.
Marines next - though these units are slightly dated, my later ones have the grey/blue trousers. These are the most common Airfix - meh…most are fluid anatomically, though some don’t like the size variance among them - I dig it, people were different sizes, but understandable if you want more the gaming piece same size all-around kinda thing…

[Viracocha]

@Viracocha I have been informed that I have reached a posting limit…I guess it has changed since 2009/when I first became a member - lol, I don’t recall having a limit, was there? Bummer. Well, there’s a few of the infantry. It was fun detailing them.

Hi @Viracocha

Idk but I think there used to be something about a certain number of upvotes allowing you to post more stuff.

I’ll give ya one just in case :) Welcome back

[Viracocha]

@barnee Yeah, I see there is some kind of reputation mechanic/dynamic or something, huh… Well, cheers for that “up-vote” (nope, don’t like it…sounds weird).

[barnee]

@Viracocha

we will ask @Panther if he can help so you can post your pictures I assume ?

[Viracocha]

@barnee I had planned on posting more, sure.

[barnee]

@Viracocha

He’s real helpful with stuff like this. He’s in Europe so probably be a few hours yet before he’s on
