"Tall Paul's" A&A INFRASTRUCTURE units detailed and painted by "WARMACHINE Team"

[Tall Paul]

**Guys,

––And here are the “Research Centers”,… a.k.a. the “2008 Risk Factories”. I hope this explains “MY” choices for some of the Infrastructure units. If you’d like to see more discussion and/or pics, just look above at the previous five pages of my Infrastructure thread. I hope you enjoy them.

Guys,

––It’s been a while since I’ve been on the forum.
----Here are some pics of the Shapeways Capital unit for the
USA, the White House. Just remember that these pics are magnified several times the ACTUAL size of the units. I hope you enjoy them.

Very nice piece, Paul. Looks, so real.

John & Others,

@John:

Wow, that brings a game board to life. Nice piece, Paul! :-)

**––I’m glad you liked them.

Guys,

––Well, I haven’t had much time lately, but here’s two pics of the
U.K.-European (London) Capital unit from SHAPEWAYS after “Allworkandnoclay” got through with them.

–I mean, really. Check out the CLOCK in the tower !  :-o

–Please note that these pics are taken utilising an OOB “standard” size gameboard, and that I/we usually play on a gameboard that’s been enlarged 150% in order to have “more Room”.
–I hope you enjoy them.

Wow, that’s very impressive! I’m glad to hear that Chad is still painting. It’s always a pleasure to see his work. Nice pieces Paul.

[John Brown]

Yes, that is impressive as the capitol was. He did amazing job on these. :-)

––I agree that these pieces are VERY DETAILED, as long as they are orderred in Frosted Ultra Detail (FUD).

Yes, I remember you saying that before. Thanks for reminding me.

That is beautiful Paul.  I ended up using white decal discs for Big Ben and I think I only did one side. That is very nicely done!

––Now that you mention it,…I should have said Clock FACES since he painted all of them!

––And yes, I agree, that “Allworkandnoclay” is the “MAN” as far as A&A painting talent! But his superb talent also has another side, too. As a professional artist he sometimes takes 3-4 weeks off from painting my A&A stuff when some museum commissions him to make an original sculpture for them (or some simular work).

Guys,

––Well I had a few minutes so I thought I’d upload a couple of pics of the
Italian Capital-ROME. Just remember, these pics are taken using an OOB gameboard whereas when we play a game we use a custom-enlarged map
that is 150% larger in size. I hope you enjoy them.

Those capital monuments look so sick… Great job Tall P.

[Admiral T]

Tall Paul,

The monuments are pretty nifty. Well done.

You keep mentioning that the map you usually play on is 150% larger than the standard game board. I have been wanting to print off a map that size. I have a couple of questions for you about that:

Did you by chance use Ambilzi and Grasshopper’s scanned map file? (found over at this thread: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=31554.0)

Which material did you print the map on? Vinyl? Styrene? Something else?

How is the resolution quality of the map after it has been enlarged that much?

Thanks in advance!

Very interesting… What are the final dimensions of the map board?

––I’ve learned that it’s best to be specific when posting on this forum so that I don’t have someone gripe that these Capital units are too large. Therefore the explanation/background.
I have been wanting to print off a map that size.
––DO IT! You’ll never regret it! And IMHO, it will the best money you’ll ever spend on your A&A hobby!
I have a couple of questions for you about that:

Did you by chance use Ambilzi and Grasshopper’s scanned map file? (found over at this thread: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=31554.0)
––No, but only because I had mine printed about 5-6 years ago. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND using the above Ambilzi & Grasshopper map. IMHO you should aks any questions about the EXACT map that you want,….such as:
“Please make me a map file without the Air & Naval Base indicators”
because these guys obviously know what they’re doing and are nice enough to make changes in their map for people.
Which material did you print the map on? Vinyl? Styrene? Something else?
––Mine is printed on proffesional heavy quality paper and then applied to “Gaterboard”,…a platicised cardboard. Explanition-it looks like corogated cardboard except that everything is plastic.
How is the resolution quality of the map after it has been enlarged that much?
––Well here again, my map is different. I had a proffesional sign company that takes photos and enlarges them up to billboard size and then does so. The quality is excellent,…but sadly so was the price ($600+)
----From all of the pics I’ve seen of A&G’s map the resolution also looked excellent.
Thanks in advance!

––Well the dimensions of my current A&A 1940-Global map are:
48" x 108", or 4 feet by 9 feet

––But when I build my Museum I’ve already planned on a
72" x 162", or 6 feet by 13 and a half feet version.
I’ve done quite a bit of  research on what would be the maximum limits on a gameboard that would
still allow you to REACH EVERYTHING, haha!
