Per @Midnight_Reaper’s request, I’m working on a USS Atlanta and an IJN Agano for Light Cruisers. The Atlanta has existing open-source examples; the Agano I’ll have to rebuild from bits and photos (all current models are pay-only).
"Tall Paul's" ENTIRE SET, detailed & painted A&A units by The "WARMACHINE TEAM"!

I noticed upon further research into paint schemes for US forces that might help with unit IDs between Army and Marines forces.
US Army forces made much more use of white ID stars than Marines as the likelihood of other enemy vehicles was much more prevalent
in the European theater. The Marines basically had the run of he pacific islands with their organic armor due to the paucity of Japanese armor
arrayed against them. You can go to tracklink to see many 1/35th examples which will also give you more ideas for color schemes.I think the first set I will have completely painted for my own use will be the Battle of the bulge due to the lesser number of equipment types and then
move on to the Guadalcanal game for the second set.Hope this helps a bit with tabletop IDs for your US units.

Guys,
––My intelligence section has reported that “LHoffman” is hard at work painting and decalling the bulk of the
German Air Force. All of the a/c in this “1st batch” will be painted in the “German Green camo” scheme that everyone is familiar with and will include:8 FW-190 fighters
8 ME-110 long range fighters
8 ME-262 jet fighters
8 JU-87 tactical, dive bombers
8 HE-111 medium bombers
8 DO-17 recon/ medium bombers
8 JU-488 heavy bombers
8 JU-52 transports––Before long there will be additional “batches” of German a/c to include ME-109 fighters and JU-88 medium bombers, also in the “German Green camo” scheme.
----After all of the “German Green” a/c we will have some a/c painted in “Afrika Korps” and Winter War" schemes, too.
––The intelligence summary indicates all of the complex painting is already complete and the a/c are now in the intricate decalling process.
----Since Lucas does such an excellent job of painting and decalling I’m really looking forward to receiving these units.
----This batch will give an actual 4-engine bomber as well as introducing Air Transports to the German player.“Tall Paul”

Guys,
––I’ve just received some pics of my Risk Factories that were painted by**“Allworkandnoclay”**. Just go to Reply #1 at the start of this thread and “click” on the Infrastructure Units to see all of them. Altogether there are individual pics of the American, Russian, French, British-European, British-Pacific, Anzac, Japanese, German, Italian, and Un-lettered as well as a group shot which I’ll post below. I hope everyone enjoys them and maybe they’ll even inspire someone to want to paint some themselves.
––Since I’m now going to use the Minor Factories from HBG these “Risk Factories” will now be used as Technical Research Facilities.

Heyo Paul :-D
You have some new coolness you say? NICE. Would love to have a gander Tallest of Pauls :wink:
Oh yeah man… sorry about my absence. I’ve been traveling quite a lot (hopefully this will change in a couple months), so my Internet time and chances to game have been limited. BUT, I do bring select minis and paints with me and trick some out when I have a chance - so I’ll try to post some of those.

Yeah, we just finished some Rifle Infantry in USA-European, UK-European, and USSR-Winter schemes along with the “Risk” Factories in ALL flavors. I’ll probably use these as “Research Facilities” as “Allworkandnoclay” is working on two dozen of the HBG Minor Factories as we speak.

LOL, you remember, I told you regardless, I would come, even if they couldn’t.
If you don’t mind, I would like to play or study the Europe side, because there are a lot of things that I need to know on that map.
I will bring mine.
It won’t take too long to setup.
I really need to see that side of things before we play a global game.
I will plan on being there at 9:00 AM. :-D
