I’ll try that. Thanks for the tip!

No Trenacker. Just get a white primer and don’t forget to put on some sort of clear coat after to protect them.

I’ve always had a problem with HBG’s “orange” Japanese units not being of the same tone of orange from OOB A&A… most other colors of custom HBG units seem to match pretty good, but that orange always seemed off to me… so much so I’ve never kept a custom HBG Japanese unit in my nation bins… sad, cuz I really like some of them.

(and yes, I’m one of those anal-retentive guys where if the color is just off a tad, it “ruins” it for me… I know I’m odd that way).

P.S.
Dang, I just realized this forum won’t let you use the first three letters of Japanese units without blanking it out as a profanity.

They are slightly taller than A&A OOB German Infantry but it’s almost indistinguishable.

I was able to obtain 3d-printed markers on shapeways. They are translucent plastic. Very small, but with good detail.

The Capital Set (all nations) is $25 USD and includes the following:

Germany - Reichstag Building
Japan - Imperial Palace
Italy - Coliseum

U.K. - Westminster Palace
U.S. - Capitol Building
U.S.S.R. - St. Basil’s Cathedral
FEC - Taj Mahal
ANZAC - Sydney Harbor Bridge
France - Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe

When I bring them out for a game, folks are always impressed.

@The:

The permanent marker definitely helps, but I would be too nervous about ruining the board to try it.

You could cover the board map with a thin sheet of acetate and draw the lines on the acetate.  No damage to the board that way.  If you goof up a line, you just erase it with some rubbing alcohol (which dissolves “permanent” marker ink) and re-draw it.

PS: I would love to add a picture but there no option for me to do this. (Attachment Option shows not up. Links & image links are not allowed) :-/

You need approximately 10 posts before you can attach pictures, due to the forum’s anti-spam software.

Thanks for the clarification! So I’m looking forward to join more discussions (insted of just reading them :roll:) to gain the needed number of postings.
