1940 Global table & painted pieces

Super nice!

Great work!  I especially like the before/after shots of the mech units – a very dramatic contrast.

Very nice! I like how you did the inf. bases yellow for easy ID.

Just read this all for the first time.  The table & victory city lights are amazing!

Did you drill through the game board to install the lights?  How did you mark the exact spot of the VC on the table so you could drill through?  Very curious about your install method.  My dad loves projects. :)

Very cool, so the LED sticks up through the plexiglass, about 1/4’ or so?  I’ve seen some other people have the game board printed on vinyl and then they glue it down to the plywood.

I’d love to get that map file if anyone sees this and could send it to me.

@Redleg13A:

I’m so utterly awed and jealous of the awesomeness of all these painted pieces that I simply want to spend all my weekends doing the same to my stuff.

I think it’s about time I dusted off some of my old Dragon/Tamaya brand models to get some practice in. It’s decided, I’m gonna paint my Global 1940 set!

––I’m looking forward to seeing some pics of your painted pieces.  IMHO, the sharing of pics between each other not only allows everyone to enjoy their work,…**but it INSPIRES each of us and “pumps-up” our desire to accomplish more.**We are very fortunate here on this forum to have many gamers willing to share their experience, talent, and opinions to the benefit of ALL.

Been off for awhile due to the new business venture, but I was able to get these done before our last game earlier this month.

Wow, those are nice! :-D

I like your p-51’s! and your old school yellow wings for the SBD dive bombers very cool.

jluna1273,

Incredible!  Its amazing how many different ideas players come up with to enhance this game.  I had thought of doing something very similar to my game board but realized I needed to build a mobile set.  Its brilliant how you used the same LED bulb to switch colors using the polarity.  I also have to commend you on your painting as well.  Very nice set and fantastic detail. Thank you for sharing.

this stuff is not only awesome its SUPER AWESOME AWESOMENESS!!!

Awesome job, jluna1273.

I’m finally glad to see you get these done.

I’ve been looking forward to seeing for some time.

I know you’ve been waiting too long, as well.

Great job on these. :-)

These are Awesome. Brown decks are very distinctive. Looks great with the Italian colors.

Excellent work!  Thanks for sharing these.
