I repainted my Italian tanks, mech and Adv. Mech.
Added Adv Artillery fromt he Amerika set. Im using the German Artillery from Amerika for the Italian Adv Artillery. I think its very close the to the Italian Semovente M90/35 90mm self-propelled gun.
Also added the Caproni Campini N.1 Italian Jet fighters. After doing some research it looks like this was the first jet fighter built in WW2.
-
Cyanight, your on a roll. Glad to see you painting again. Superb job, on your Italians. :-D
-
When you say repaint, do you just paint over the old paint job or do you soak them in spirits or something to strip them?
Also, where did you get the jet fighters? They look great!
-
I just painted over the old paint. It does lose some definition with extra coats as you can see the tanks in the back have been painted many times. I repainted them so they could all look similar.
The Italian Jets are from HBG.

Wow man great work cyanight! Really like the refitted Italian armour here. Mussolini is breakin the bank with new paint jobs and jet fighters clearly! ….great med style colors with your browns. Any chance I can talk you into a lower degree lacquer sheen buddy?? lol your getting nicer and nicer details as you paint on and that wicked shine can sometimes kill some of it ! just my opinion… but very awesome! I really like your variety of units for each country, it’s the best I think we have seen out there!

Oh, I know the clear gloss does change the colors and hide’s some detail. The only reason I keep painting them with gloss is because the other pieces are already glossed. I’m thinking about trying that spray that deshines or deglosses the piece without having to repaint it. If that works it would be easy to apply to the other pieces. Thanks again for your comments :)

Is it possible to include the Maginot Line imprinted on the map? Next to the France-Western Germany, France-Switzerland, and the France-Northern Italy borders, within the France territory. (Literally by the border side). The line should be represented by design line of a series of pillboxes.
The rule regarding it. Enemy units entering France from either of those three territories will be shot at prior to combat, for one round, at a value of 1, any units selected as casualties from a successful attack are removed prior to the main battle. After France is captured, this rule no longer takes effect for the remainder of the game.
Change Shanghai out for Nanking, the actual capital of China.
The big thing is, more victory cities. Kiev, Oslo, Vladivostok, Singapore, are on my mind right now, more additions would be great.
-
Those are interesting. I have many projects going on right now but maybe in the future I could make these changes.

Wow, those American pieces are fantastic. Great job on these. :-)
-
Woah those f4f wildcats early war really turned out sharp! They look like you weathered them too with some shadowing over the blue! Looks awesome. US infantry colors are nice too. Do you plan to do anything with the Amerika board ? Like file it print it out and magnatize it ??. Also what state do you live in? I’m still waiting on my Amerika game but I live up in Canada. Should I try emailing HBG you think? Seems like they get a ton of emails, not sure if it’s cause I’m up in Canada or something. Thanks! great work and fast turn around on your pieces !
-
Glad you noticed the extra work I put into the F4F’s I used light black wash. It might have looked better if I hade blue washed instead. I live in Ohio. Im not sure if I will make a board for the Amerika game. My group is pretty set on playing Global 1940 exclusively. Did you see that HBG is coming out with expansion pieces? I got a newsletter explaining it.
