Im not talking about a digital Map, but a real one. I consider myself very artistically minded so I think I could do it without it looking too bad. What materials would I need, how much time would it take? I wanna do a global map from about 1920.
Accurate Miniature Equivalents for Custom Painting your 1940 E&P

Those are good, Variable.
I especially like the tropical camo done on the Betty.

That’s my version of AllWork’s camo over bare metal. It’s my favorite too. I had fun with the carriers, making one a “late war” version with a tarred deck.
Next up is subs, artillery, and destroyers. This is a lot of work, especially considering the GC set is WAY smaller than the P40 set. I can imagine the work that AllWork has put in!
-
Definitely!
Still, you two make it look damn good. I hope to do that with the miniatures I’ll be painting over the summer.
-
Really like those carriers!
-
Thanks for the compliments all! Here’s another look at the carriers and a closer shot of the AA guns:

Oh yeah! I can’t wait.

Well, to be fair, the USAF wasn’t established until 1947. In 1940, it’d be the US Army Air Corps (USAAC), reorganized to the US Army Air Forces (USAAF) in 1941. And of course, the one that may be of interest in the Pacific would be our US Naval Air Corps (technically under the Bureau of Aeronautics, though the term USNAC was widely used before and during the war).
Though to make this relevant to the thread, quick question to AllClay… will you also be painting a set of Hellcats from the original Pacific?
Oh, and awesome job on the land forces, AllClay. And a big thumbs up to Variable on those Japanese Guadalcanal pieces. I swear, if I just had more time (and patience), I’d try my hand at painting my own AA pieces… oh, well. I’ll satisfy myself admiring the work of others. Keep it up, guys! :-D

Yea, I actually thought about the air force title just after I posted it (then I thought, nah, nobody will say anything heh).
I’ll be painting:
12 Strat Bombers (B-17s), 12 Tactical Bombers (A-24 Banshee or SBD Dauntless), and 16 Fighters (8 Hellcats and 8 P-38 Lightnings).
