Well thats pretty much it now, progress will come to screeching halt.

The kriegmarine pieces count is excessive but I like to cover all the bases, I have all the pieces anyway and it doesnt take that much longer to paint a few more of each type. One rule I am using is only one sculpt of each unit type per nation…. I dont mind adding new unit types like the escort carrier and early battle ship as long as it a different unit and not 2 pieces sharing a stat line… May get confusing in game is all…

My HBG order included a heap of the 1941 pieces so If I use them in any of the main nations it will be instead of the global40 pieces.

Italians, british, FEC and ANZACS will probably get the same piece count as kriegmarine where as the Russian, French and canadians will get half as many… I wouldn’t be far off the counts on those smaller fleets now actually… The French navy may get an upgrade when they eventually get that HBG release and jump up a piece count to match the larger group.

And ambitiously enough I imagine the U.S. and japanese navies being double the size Of the kriegsmarine!

Love your shading technique/effects, pretty cool.

New stuff!!!

German jet fighters and heavy bombers. Maybe now I’ll invest in tech?

And some Anzac fleet and air

mentok27. these are awesome paint jobs. Thanks for sharing. :-D

Super clean work. Very nice. Luftwaffe splinter camo is the best!

[CWO Marc]

Wow!  Extremely impressive.  I especially like the two-tone naval camouflage scheme; I’ve seen a similar scheme (in dark blue) on some WWII-era US Navy battleships.

Your lines are so clean! Are you using Vallejo acrylics or something different?

And for the decks on your ships and aircraft carriers: do you paint the decks after your ink wash or before?

Great work. I love the Luftwaffe. Please keep posting as you work!

Some Vallejo but mostly citadel as that’s what’s available locally and what I’m used to.

For the ship pieces I paint the deck on after the superstructure has been washed on pretty much all the nations I’ve done, the Japanese and American navy’s were some of the first I did and I hadn’t quite worked out my technique yet so they are a little different.

I’m at work for the next 2 weeks but I brang up maybe 120 pieces with me to work on but I won’t make much progress as I left some key paints at home which now limits what I can achieve with these.

[John Brown]

Congrats mentok27. Job, well done. :-D

Nice job Mentok! Glad the community is recognizing your hard work.

Man now I wish I had some new stuff to share. But I didn’t finish any pieces  I started recently…. I did do quite a few Hungarian pieces but I was waiting till I did the Air Force as wel before I snapped a pic.

I lost a lot of time recently on the battlefield 1 beta.

No problem, you have inspired me to get back to painting. Due to health reasons, I haven’t done anything in a year, but I’m about to least, do some small jobs, here and there.

Can’t wait to see your Hungarian pieces. :-)

Cheers,

John
