What a great idea Der Kuenstler. I was feeling intimidated because I don’t know how to post pics here of what I’ve been up to the last couple of weeks since I dusted off my games and brought them out of the closet. I’ve been inspired to customize a room in my house by all the great people on here who have been so passionate about doing their own customizations and it’s been a lot of fun for me at a time when I’m not able to do much else. I’ve still got a little ways to go but so far the Great White Northern Bunker is coming along nicely and there’s lots of time to finish it before the long hard winter and the impending march to Moscow begins…or when I return to work…whatever comes first.
Cyanight's Customizations

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!

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. :-)

Where did you get the swastika decals on the bases?
Wow impressive paint job on the sleeves!

I got the swastika decals on ebay and the sleeves are actually small flag decals from HBG.
