Thanks, Guys! I will try these Ideas out.
Painting pieces!
-
I have no prior experience of painting playing pieces or anything else for that matter. (so be nice)
I know you said be nice, but I’m going to tell you what I REALLY think instead…. I think they look awesome!
-
Very nice work! I always wonder how much squinting is involved when painting anything which is that small, and how in the world one can produce neat, straight lines on such a tiny scale.
-
What I like, is that instead of going for the ULTRA realistic look, you picked something which is in keeping with history, but also, makes it clear who’s unit is who’s.

Wunderbar :-o
J 8-)
PS and you can post pictures already :?
-
Well to be honest… i havent painted the swastikas or the iron cross. they are stickers i made in paint and printed out. :-D
It would be fun if more than me upload pictures of their painted pieces here. So we can inspire each other for the endless struggle to paint these little Fu**ers.
I started this project when i got unemployed. But i got a new job 1/3 in the process and the painting halted. When i restarted to end this pain, the tan paint had dried up. Thats life i guess… -
Great job
-
It’s a shame this has been shelved in -variants-, as it has nothing to do with any variant, and everything to do with 1942 edition…
I encourage anyone reading this to officially protest this moderator move! This great work should not be hidden!

The “work” is not hidden. Get over it.
Anything that related to Axis and Allies and is a modification to it in anyway by means of games or changes or modifications to equipment goes in Variants. It always has and always will.
-
It’s not worth protesting because you’re both right.
It doesn’t belong in 1942, it doesn’t belong in Variants.
Do we need an Axis & Allies General forum or Axis & Allies Projects for things like painted minis, custom boards, and other cool things people created with their bare hands?

Yes i think so. To inspire others or to find ideas how to paint or alter your pieces. Its fun to see how other did and ask why they did that way. If someone has questions how to do a certain thing, then there would a good place to ask.
This is how i painted my US and German ships:
-
Man that’s cool. You and field Marshall need to open a gallery or something…. Your running mate for the white house???
Will you paint my house like these? My wife says its cool.
I asked Field marshall if he could make me a pair of shorts on one of his schemes.
What a pleasure to see these.
