1940 Global table & painted pieces

@barney:

nice setup!   but painting the little star on the russian tanks is a trip

Barney, I don’t want to mislead you, the red star is a decal. I’ve been trying Flames of War decals, but I just bought 30 packs of decals from I-94 Enterprises.

OK, so last little touch on the table. We found some camo material and used Velcro to go around the table with it.

Now that the table is officially done, I am back to painting the sculpts. Working on Japan now.

Yes sir, that’s the plan. I’m all about concealment.

Working on the US fleet, Chinese infantry, and German desert/woodland patterns.

I received my Marines from HBG and I am so happy with these pieces, they will go perfect with this Global table and my Pacific operations. I should have the Corsairs done this weekend.

Here are some more painted pieces.

I am keeping the base white in order to help the neutrals stand out even more.

Thanks, Lozmoid.

I couldn’t resist. With the help of one of my boys, we have taken on the task of lighting up the Victory Cities. We found a two color LED that changes from red to green when you reverse the polarity. We then connected a toggle switch for each that will allow the color to be changed if you lose your city to the enemy. Each country will control the toggle switch for their respective cities. (Red for Axis, Green for Allies)

The five Axis cities are wired and lit. Just need to complete the covers to the toggle switches. We only had enough to do one more, so we chose to light up Paris, France. More switches were ordered at a parts store called Altex. The remaining lights are on order from Fry’s Electronics. I will post more pics once all the Allied Victory Cities are lit up as well.

@infinite:

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

Thanks, I will submit my vacation request to my supervisors, LOL. And yes, I do live in the Austin area, Cedar Park to be exact. I have a few other military guys that  come over from time to time. I am sure we can work something out. I will be in touch.
