Greatness…take the rest of the week off!

BTW, I think you’re in the Austin area, would love to play a global game sometime, me and my son +1

Infinite Jester, just curious if you are the same person who sent me a message on FB back on July 3rd.

Working on Allied side to start running the wiring and lights.

[toblerone77]

When this gets finished we gotta see your table all set up. This is pretty innovative.

[infinite jester]

Yep, it took me awhile to figure out that you post here

Almost done. All I have left to do are the 5 cities belonging to the United Kingdom. The other 14 are complete.

Great progress!  This project is an interesting reverse-twist on Churchill’s famous wartime remark that “the lights are going out all over Europe” – in this case, they’re coming on all over Europe (and the rest of the world too).

––Pardon me for saying so but the pics look like the lights are Red making a lot of new “Red Light Districts” all over the world. I would have expected the “Great Gargantua” to have said this. Sorry, but I just couldn’t help myself. (GRIN)

We can also update an old Cold War slogan, and combine it with a reference to the kind of lighting technology that is being used on this table, to produce the phrase “Better LED than Red!”

Worked on these while training at Camp Parks, CA. Our nights were free, so this is what one does to stay out of trouble. Now that I am back home, I should have all my cities lit and ready for this weekend’s game.

That’s a beautiful fleet you have there.  The battleships seem to be painted in a combination of Haze Grey and Deck Blue; out of curiosity, to which one of the US Navy’s numbered camouflage measures does this correspond?  I once saw something similar in a book about the Iowa-class battleships.

Thanks, I really like how they turned out. I saw this paint scheme on a thread started by Spitfire38. He stated that it was “Measure 22”.

And here is the link that Spitfire38 posted regarding the paint scheme.

Great, thanks.

And all the Victory Cities are lit and ready for this weekend’s game.

[toblerone77]

That’s awesome one of the best yet!

Congratulations – great work!  And the timing is nice because the upcoming weekend is the long Labor Day one, which is well suited to long games.

Can I get some feedback on my Japanese armor? I think I like it, but I am open to suggestions for improvement before I mass produce.
