Cyanight's Customizations

cyanight

Thank you very much John but it will be a huge challenge to produce these pieces. They should arrive 1 week before our annual gaming session which means I have 1 week to paint them all, lol.

The Gotha will be last on the list since I already have metal versions of them already painted. Also the Heavy tanks may also be visited later since they are to be used only if we play with the optional rule of allowing Heavy Tanks as a tech development.

But no matter what I will eventually paint them all :)

Well despite HBG not releasing Amerika I decided to paint some other pieces to use instead at our upcoming annual gaming event.

USA Hellcat Tanks (instead of the Pershing Tanks)

USA Greyhound Scout cars (Used for Adv. Mech, metal miniatures from GHQ)

Japanese SP Artillery (Used as Adv Artillery instead of the Ha To from Amerika set)

French Biplanes

More to come in the next 2 weeks before our gaming event.

Very cool, Cyanight! Where did you get the French Bi-planes or are those from the British set?

These are all, well done. :-D

cyanight

Yep, John. They are from the UK set. :)

That is cool! :-D

Great pieces Cyanight! My personal favorites are the Hellcats - behind the M10 Wolverine, they’re my favorite tank (destroyer really) of the Americans.

Cyanight & Others,

––Nice looking units!
––Although I’m certain that most everyone knows,…I thought it needed to be pointed out that the delay isn’t HBG’s fault,…but more than likely due to the longshoreman’s strike on the west coast ports that are delaying our entire economy at the moment. I’m sure Doug at HBG would like nothing more than to sell these games to us all.

Again, Nice Work!

I kinda figured that was part of the problem.

Rita Japanese Bombers (used in place of the Project-Z Bombers from the Amerika set for Heavy Bombers)

John Brown

Those are very nice! If the allies can’t see them coming, then their in big trouble, LOL. :-D

I have to say these are impressive. Awesome job on the mustangs! :-D

cyanight

Thank you sir :)

There so shiny and metallic. I love the look of the silver. They look so real. :-)

I used alcohol based silver paint. The water color silver tends to clump up.

I see. Man, LOL, I didn’t know their was an alcohol based paint. Good to know. :-)

Vallejo Model Color Metallic (Alcohol-Based). They make Silver, Gold, Old Gold, Rich Gold, Red Gold, Green Gold, White Gold and Copper. The paint is very runny but when it dries its very smooth and shiny.

Cool, I was wondering what it was on their website. I just got my first shipment in from Warpainter. I got everything I asked for, except they sent me two paints that were wrong, but I can still use them, I told them. :-)
