Hello All

My name is Wolz 44, from Alberta, Canada. Just getting back into playing Axis and Allies. Loved the game back in my younger days lol. Now after coming across some of these site, I am really liking the customization ideas. So i went down the rabbit hole to see all what you can do with it lol. Went out and picked up a bunch of paints, ordered some new pieces and decals and other materials to give this all a go. Made my first flight stand using 2 different sizes of Acrylic rods. Also hoping to get some advice that i might have later on.

Cheers
Wolz

@The-Captain Also drilled magnets into the carrier. Was able to fill 3 of them in there. Used some Vallejo plastic putty to fill the bottom and painted. Happy how that turned out.

Hello

Have a quick question. I am starting to do flight stands and magnetics. The 1/16" X 1/32" seems to be good for all the fighters. But on the bombers doesn’t seem to be strong enough. Just wondering what magnet size do most people use? I am drilling them in to the bomber and thinking trying a 2mmX1mm seems 3mmX1mm are to big.

On my flight stand I went the acrylic clear route on them. Came across this site. https://shop.zlazr.com/collections/acrylic-circles The have a lot of different sizes. Order a bunch of them and reasonably cheap. Started painting already some original version, and still need a matt finish on them. Going to test some stuff out before painting pieces that i ordered from Historical board gaming.

@The-Captain

Awesome thank you for the advice. On all your stuff is it all waterslide decals or paint?

@AndrewAAGamer Perfect thank you
