This is really cool stuff here… nice work by both you guys, esp Spitfire. Can’t believe I missed this thread. Love the ships.

Thanks Hoffman! Spitfire38 has done an excellent job with the visions of what I wanted in my set. We are both patient with each other, and he always wants my opinion of what I want and like.

Because he is in school, I have to be patient, because he will be busy at certain parts of the year, and we have worked out my payments to where he is being very flexible with me as well.

We work well as a team.

He currently is doing the Ground Forces, AAA Guns and Infantry.

Thanks for your comments! :-D

Thanks LHoffman! I appreciate the input on decals and advice.

Hopefully I can get around to finishing off those infantry and getting the pictures up soon.

Photos of the Japanese infantry have been added to the Japanese post on the first page.

Looks like Christmas came early for John brown! Wow spitefire those infantry are some of the best I’ve seen on here! I love the Browns you used for their uniforms and the accented details and dark washes. The bases of the men too are superb! There must be 40 some units you painted?! I’m inspired great work!

[LHoffman]

Seconded! Very impressive.

Thanks guys! I’m really glad that you enjoy them. jwo1984, you are correct in saying that there are 40 standard infantrymen and 4 paratroopers. John will need legions of Japanese soldiers if he is to conquer the Pacific! I’d recommend that he gets some Allied pieces painted soon, or else there will be nobody to stand in their way ;)

Wow Spitfire, those are fantastic, and yes, the allies are hopefully will be shipped by Monday, the Aussies and Chinese will be answering the call, LOL. :-D

Great Job Spitfire.  Those infantry are fantastic.  I love the detail and that you used white color for the bases. Looks very classy :)

[John Brown]

News flash: Guys, I’m shipping the Anzac and Chinese forces tomorrow. The allies are going to war, as Japan has just invaded China.

Stay alert for more information as this conflict escalates. :-)

Any updates so far? I have just started painting my first set of a&a pieces and was using this thread as a resource for schemes. Obviously my painting skill is not close to your level Spitfire, however I do really enjoy these paint schemes.

EdDawg, Spitfire has finished my Japanese Ground Forces, as well as AAA Guns, but because it so cold where he is at, he is waiting till it he has a warmer day to spray a protective coat on them.

He will then post pictures, when he can.

I also sent him the Anzac and Chinese pieces, so it won’t be too much longer, before he will start those.

I’m as anxious as you are to get my Japanese pieces and see what he does with the next set. :-D

It would be nice, but I’m in retail and don’t have the time either. That is why he is painting and I am not, LOL. :-D

Weather update: I’m waiting for a warmer day to spray the pieces, at which point I will photograph and upload them as well! I’ve attached a photo of what it looks like outside - a bit too cold for spraying :) I will be headed down South in the next few days though, where I should be able to spray the pieces and bring them back with me.

We actually got some sleet here in Texas, so you may have to leave the country, LOL. :-D
