hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has painted or would share any 1914 pieces they have painted?  I’ve worked on some units myself I must admit the planes were fun as there was so much color and character to the paint schemes during this time.  Funny I spent hrs painting as many pieces as I could and have only played the game with my buddy 2 maybe 3 times.  Had fun but its just too long a game!

“Tall Paul” I believe you are just as enthusiastic as anyone really when it comes too creativity and what skills and talents people can do too this game.  Its great too hear form anyone whether it is praise of the work, or some helpful suggestions (ie decal work) and keeps the category forum going. I think it is all good and keeps up the motivation for all the hardwork guys put into there games!

these early war wildcats from LLhoffman you have are very nice! I love the historically accuracy and the resemblance too the pic is very good!  Question Tall Paul, so do you commission LLhoffman to paint your aircraft, and you paint the infantry? ?

I see it now Tall Paul thanks for the distinguishing.  I try too be as accurate as I can while still having fun and making the game and pieces on the board “distinguishable” for other players that aren’t so into the history as a few guys on the forum like myself are.  Guess we will all have too wait for Santa HBG too fill our stockings (online shopping carts) with more and more accurate pieces for our historically needs!  Until the next batch…(I just received my HBG new Japanese expansion set which the pieces are AWESOME)  I will be joining you on the red sun rampant painting train!

great job on the canopy lines! enjoying the clean sharpness of your pieces Tall Paul

@Tall:

jwo1984,

@jwo1984:

here are some of my wildcats with paint schemes attempted too match the references…

––NICE WORK on your F-4F “Wildcat’s”.

Tall Paul

are they suppose too be “F6F hellcats” or “F4F wildcat” replicas for A&A Tall Paul??  the “wild cat” was used too start the air war at Guadalcanal in the summer of 42, which is were I think the boardgame picks up…?

I like your color scheme for the American carriers too.  Question do you use like a ink wash or something to get out details in the hands and face of the men?  Ive seen a few of these impressive details from a few guys on here, just curious what guys do…… look so much better than just the flesh colored blob of a head that my guys have lol

hey spitfire these pieces are awesome!  zooming in on some of your storage boxes you infantry men look highly detailed!

Redleg13,  really like you color scheme on that Italian P.108 bomber and your AAA guns! well done

Lhoffman, calling you out again sorry seems your work is just too popular :wink: I really liked your f4 wild cats that you painted.  since you are into historically accuracy for your pieces have you ever used or checked out this site:

its called “wings palette” and has virtually every paint scheme for every squadron of all countries involved in the war for there planes! an amazing site.  I have used paint schemes for all my wildcats, in fact when HBG didn’t have any wildcats in stock I went out on ebay to buy Guadalcanal so I could have tons for the pacific! (I also wanted to try playing Guad as well)

@John:

I don’t think there is a Me262 being made on the Axis Minor 2 set. I just looked it up, and it isn’t on there.

Jwo, where did you see this?

John brown you are right, I was mixing up the sets. axis minors have no me262, I was thinking about the kickstarter game HBG is putting out called Amerika.  Don’t know if any of you looked into this game but the custom pieces they have coming look nothing short of deadly awesome.  Below is the German set for Amerika with the me262
