I’m using Adobe Photoshop CS6. The textures that I made for the neutrals are partially “from scratch” and partially “stitched together” (and color corrected) from other areas of the map.
Modifying FMG's Italian Battleship
-
THis is what I did, I took the turret off one ship and replaced it on another.
-
That looks better.
Still, I don’t like scratching a BB.
-
That looks excellent. Not to keen on scraping a BB either… perhaps an OOB BB would work?
-
Turrets are too small on OOB, and there is no barrel detail. If you don’t want to scatch a BB, then your only choice is to do what I did in outlined in this thread.

I dont’ like scrapping pieces either. I bought 4 sets of FMG’s Italians and I took all the badly bent battleships and scrapped them. I’ll have 12 battleships instread of 24!

OK, here is a link to another site where I posted several photos of my painted pieces. Please remember I am not finished painting all of them yet. It is a lot of work but I think it is worth it.

Those are sweeeet. Especially like those black/dark green (?) zeros! A good choice of green for those Brit infantry… good stuff all around. Looks pretty cool having painted pieces in a game yeah?

The Japanese planes are painted either “sand” or “IJN green”. The Japanese infantry are painted either “sand” or “IJA green.” I use the sand infantry on the island campaign and I use the green infantry on the mainland. The sand color planes are my fighters, and the IJN planes are my TAC bombers. Note the bombers also have two meatballs but the fighters have only one. The Beatys are the strategic bombers still. I didn’t like the oversized planes for TAC bombers, especially when they slipped off the carriers so much.
Painted pieces are awesome. You will spend some time doing it but you’ll love what you get.

Nicely painted pieces, but please keep this thread about the modification of the FMG Italian BB.
Thanks in advance.

Pretty ingenious, definitely food for thought since it gives us options for future modifications. Nice job.
