Has anyone developed a ww1 setup for the 36 map or any others?
I’d like to have a go at something like that!
Some of the best games are developed by the community on here.
I’ve been waiting for a while for some of these HBG variants…

PS I have to clean my keyboard now because I look at the pictures with my mouth open and I drooled all over it. :oops:
-
haha who won the battle for honolulu? :D how does communist China perform in your games usually?
-
Alas, after a brave defence by the U.S. forces, Honolulu fell to the Japanese Empire.
Communist China generally gets attacked by the Japanese right away. If allowed to grow, they become a thorn in the side of the Empire.
When I play as the USSR, I generally build up Communist China through annexation of Nationalist Chinese territories and use them to harass Japan.

Germany really seemed to dominate the game? Wow…
-
Koba, who painted these pieces? They are the most beautiful I have seen.
More (and more detailed) pictures of them would be much appreciated!
-
Thank you for the compliment LHoffman,
Truth is my wife and I painted all of the pieces you see. She usually does the infantry while I do air and armour. We split on the navies.

You are most welcome. I should be thanking you. I am quite fascinated with the German armor in particular. Any quick tips on what you did?
The faded look is quite unique and more than fitting. I love how the Nazi flag on the vehicles is darkened almost to a maroon. Did you put wash on the pieces.
If you have the time could you throw a few more pictures of them up here?
Much appreciated.
-
Yes,
I apply washes and dry brushing.
All the German armour (and a lot of the other nations)are GHQ 1/285.
They are all primed before painting. I generally use Squadron Signal books or Osprey for the colours.
Colours generally used are:
Burnt Sienna (or Rot Braun if you can find it).
German Armour Grey
Panzer Oliv Grun
Sand Gelb
Dunkel GelbThe flags are GHQ air recognition decals. I use tissue paper and white glue to make a kind of mache. It lays over the armour quite well. When it’s dried, it’s painted with insignia red then the decal is added.
Most of the body painting is done by airbrush.

Wow, good information. Thanks a lot! And again, beautiful work.
-
No problem.
If you are going to go this route, make sure you but a finish coat of flat clear acryl to protect your work!

Yes, that was one of my first questions to another painter. Wouldn’t want all this hard work to get worn off. Though I haven’t come to that stage yet.
When the time comes, would you recommend a spray or brush-on?
-
Definitely spray.
