That’ll do it - and after you have used your playing pieces for a while, you’ll see if you need to spray a new layer of matt varnish.
2-3 layers - each layer thinly sprayed - and dry 24 hours between each layer.
You units will last a lifetime:+1:
Seems this should provide enough budgetary options for most people. I know I can’t afford your work no matter how reasonable, but I know a lot of people here have the budget and desire for this. Are you thinking between $200 - $1000 depending on options chosen?
Exactly. Of course it’ll depend on the number of pieces people want to order (I did extra pieces for my set). I was thinking of making a “commander in chief” set which would just be one deluxe infantry for each capital region. I dunno… Anyone have any ideas for other sets?
How much for a complete AAP40 set with 12 extra japanese tactical bombers?
Also need my AA guns and Factories painted ( set from AA42)

Again it depends on the options you wanted…
I’m going to give a full pricing guide after I finish the US set. I want to clock myself accurately so I can make sure that I’m both still making money and not overcharging. Then also note that I probably won’t start taking (large) orders until I finish my own set (I’m trying to make sure there aren’t any surprises and also want to get a good image stock going before I get too hasty about anything else).
It’ll probably be a little while, but don’t worry, I’m pretty set on making this happen.
The Japanese pieces look great. Can’t wait to see your prices.

I would have to say the carriers are my favorite.
Oh yeah I am totally looking forward to the Americans. I can’t wait to see the paint schemes for the various pieces.

It’s a bummer he doesn’t have any Hellcats to go with the Corsairs. That would look awesome! I always keep my P-38s in the European theater and Hellcats in the Pacific. I really want to paint my stuff now…
Awesome job on these… like the way you went for the steamer look instead of the regular transport. The camo jobs are fantastic.

I want to see some P-40 Warhawks with the Flying Tigers paint.

*See first page - the single Chinese Fighter (has the shark face accurately there, but not a good pic of it). The Flying Tigers fought with the Chinese, and one unit accurately represents that… All A&A variants have only one fighter starting in China. Maybe I’ll do one with US markings for my 1942 and original board for the sake of completion, but no more than a single unit.
I’ve toyed with the idea of doing 1/2 P-38s and 1/2 Hellcats… Not sure yet. Don’t want them to look too similar to UK and ANZAC units. We’ll see - that hurdle is a few weeks off.
Tha jap carriers re fantastic. :lol:
seriously wow. those rock!

Paint the Hellcats Navy Blue like the Corsairs. Should distinguish them from the Brits.
Good idea for the Hellcats… Now I just need to buy an original copy of the game (I only have the board :|).
On another note:
Three uniforms for the US infantry - Western European (olive drab), Mediterranean Desert, and Pacific Marine.
What specific Marine uniform do you guys think? Khaki? ‘Tattered’ green?

tattered green
Very nice work I’m painting my pieces as well but they look not as nice as yours. :-( Are you doing the US pieces soon? I would love to see them. How much time have you put into painting this set so far? Its taking forever to paint mine.

Oh yeah I forgot about those. I am sure I will like anything you do.
Speechless.
There are no real words to convey this awesome. You’ve even actually managed to make me find my old pre-Dreadnought models and start painting them.
I can’t wait till you finish. :-D
I can’t wait until he finishes my set :-D
I want to see those U.S pieces.
Come on! Show me your war face!
