Man, that is a very nice set, and your son’s scout car is cool. Right on, man. Just keep it up! :-D
Your array of military forces keeps getting more and more awesome – I’m totally blown away by the amount of work you’ve been putting into this and by the quality of the results.
Your Churchill tanks are nice! love the detail you pulled out of them well done! Are all your decals I 94?
Oooooh man, great work. That RAF looks so nice, especially when next to your navy. Are your CV decks stickers?
Thanks again for all the kind comments.
The decals are from I-94 UK armor markings. They fit perfect and are already pre-cut ;)
The carriers are custom decals I made. The Formidable Carrier layout was designed by Dedo. The others I designed myself.
Hey Cyanight any reason you cut out the swordfish in your RAF selection ?
I am not a big fan of bi-planes. Although I thought of painting one with French markings and roundels, hehe
I’m pretty sure the Brit sword fish pilots felt the same way when they came up on the 109’s in the med lol…. I actually use one of the AA 1914 bi planes painted in French markings for the fighters in London ans france haha
Hmm… Maybe I will have to paint a couple. Maybe I will revisit when I work on the new UK Cruisers.
Germany is ready for War.

Wow. Where did you get the Gotha 229 / Horten IX sculpts? I think HBG’s Amerka has them, but I thought the game wasn’t out yet.
Wow Cyanight, all these are awesome. The amount of pieces you are producing is amazing. You sir, are a war machine, LOL. Great job, buddy! :-D
Those Gotham 229’s look awesome cyanight great job man… I would be buying up research die tryin too get those paint jobs on the board for sure ! I like your armour too… Just a thought ever considered using a flat or dull sheen clear coat on some of your pieces? You have some nice details and some great work on your tank tracks some times the high gloss shine can blind some of the details just imo… But great work! Your Germans and UK armies are my favorite :)
Thanks again guys!
I got the Gotha’s from Scotia Grendel Productions. They are made of metal though.
Search for this ID number CAGS49 - Go 224 Flying Wing.
jwo, I know exactly what you mean. The gloss tends to distort my colors and mask the detail. I’m looking into some anti-shine coat instead.
I like the shinny coats, they protect the paint job like a sealer.
BTW you have the most aesthetic set. Not the most accurate, but pleasing to look at.
Very cool - you are inspiring me to do some painting this winter…
Yea, they are sealed and protected well. I’m sure they are water proof, hehe. The gloss does change the colors though and makes them look much darker. Thanks again for the comments and Der Kuenstler I am glad I could inspire you :)
Now onto USA and some special facilities that I will be painting after the last set is done. I hope to get the Amerika set from HBG by the end of this month but who knows it may be another 2 months, lol
I plan to paint some of the Amerika set so that I can use the Meteor Jets for UK and Heavy tanks for US, UK, Germany and Japan. Lots of nice pieces in that set.
Then we also have the US expansion set from HBG. I am eagerly waiting for that set because of the Persing tanks, Shooting Star jets and Long Tom Artillery.
Hey Cyanight… If your familiar with any modelling paints at hobby shops the Tamyia paints have a good flat sheen protective spray. I use it on my pieces and have found it works well… 2-4 coats and your nice and protected and your paint colors aren’t altered!
I too have ordered HBG’s Amerika game… Mostly for the AMAZING sculpts! Do you know any news on when it’s supposed too be shipped?? You said this month I haven’t heard this?? But then again it’s getting close too a year I think from their estimated delivery time so your right could be next month… Or well into 2015 haha. I do hope that US set comes out sooner tho. I really want to paint those p47 jugs and liberty b24 bombers!
I saw an email from HBG that they said Amerika would ship by the end of November. Before that they said it was going to be released in November and no later. I fear it may be December but hope they ship before then.
Here is the stuff I purchased from the War Store. I hope it works :)

What a cool product! Keeps the shine on things like chain mail and such very cool. You use a metallic paint or silver on most of the centres of your ships right? So you will retain your shine on the bridges of the ships! Also great news about the Amerika release date for end of November I hope that’s true. We all have Christmas time off perfect for painting up some units.
