––Thanks, I’m glad to enjoyed them. I’m even more happy that they may have INSPIRED you to consider the possibility of a “large scale” map.
……so many more options you can add to the experience of AA!
––IMHO the money I spent on a “large scale” map was not only the BEST A&A investment I’ve ever made,….
but also gave me the “Best bang for the Buck” as far as FUN received for money spent. Let me explain:

–The BEAUTY of a well done “large scale” map is obvious.
–With everything being spread out it makes things EASIER as far as planning strategy/tactics for all players.
–Also, I’ve found that the game goes FASTER because each player can see & plan their moves quicker.
–And another “bonus” is that it’s LESS STRESSFUL because everyone isn’t afraid of making the dreaded mistake of mixing up units that are too close to each other, especially in Europe at the start of the game.
–With everything spread out and easier to see allows the game to be more ADAPTABLE as far as using addition NEW UNIT or FACILITY TYPES .

Part 4: Starting the ships, adding decals to the tanks, skin tones on the soldiers

Today spent some time adding paint to the sprayed ships, including painting the water jettisons on the subs black (this was very tricky and ended up looking a little sloppy). Advice for painting the jettisons: toothpicks are not small enough! If you do use toothpicks, you’ll have to dab a dot of black for each tiny jettison.

The battleships were a bit easier, and painting the decks, bridge, and smoke stacks were all done in silver. I plan on adding the final grey coat last after the deck and stacks/bridge dry. I experimented with how to add the national emblem, and will probably opt for a white background with a red dot on the bow of the ship. In the future I may do that with the rear end of the ship.

I painted the tranny smoke stacks silver and added a white background for the emblem on the destroyers. All in all, the Japanese navy is coming along nicely.

The armor is pretty much done. I added a white flag to the front side of the armor and will be adding the red dots later. For the aircraft, I’ll be adding a red band around the rear part of the plane. I was debating between sky blue and red and may alternate just for some variety.

The soldiers got some skin! And I just want to say that adding the paint alone brings out the contours of their facial features in an excellent manner on their own. I may add a touch of black to certain areas of the face but that will be a last step. The next step will be panting their uniforms, rifles, and helmets.

After all this is done, I will be spray painting the japanese bombers white, the aircraft carrier black, and then will add the details to those. The Japanese are about 55% done all in all and I’m pleased with the results so far even if they do look a bit amateurish. Stay tuned.

@CWO:

if the Imperial War Museum still operates its “Blitz Experience” feature (if I recall the name correctly), I recommend it.

Didn’t see it when I went there last summer, but I might just have missed it.

@Maddog77:

@pfc_pander:

Love the M-1 Carbine, nice touch!

It’s fully functional too. My Dad carried one in Korea (He was an artillery man during the war) I have all the attachments for it (30 round mags, bayonette, heat shield, oil tube, etc.) It’s a very fun small caliber weapon to shoot. I like how it adds to the whole war room atmosphere so it just has to be displayed on the wall. I keep a trigger lock on it because I have young children running about and the rest of my hunting rifles are locked up in the safe. If anyone comes across a nice WWII propaganda poster or gadget for sale (from any country) please let me know. I’m really ramping up my collection.

My grandfather was in the 40th Infantry Division in Korea and he told me a story about how carbines were a prized weapon of choice in the infantry. Guys from other units had them and it got around that you could get your hands on one if you went to the showers and waited for a guy who had one to step into the shower. Then they would just take his gun.

He ended up doing just that.

Rich,

**––NICE WORK on your Italians. I remember seeing these fella’s in the
'39-Advanced" game we recently played. Although I was mainly concerned with the Pacific theater as USA & Anzac,…my S-2 Inteligence Officer pointed them out to me (Grin).

Those tanks are some of the best AA pieces I’ve ever seen! I really like the extra details added and especially like the matt finish.
