Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

The FMG Italian Macchi C202 fighter next to the OOB version.

The FMG Italian 105 mm artillery next to the OOB version.

The FMG Italian BR-20 bomber with the OOB bomber.

The FMG Italian transport with the OOB transport.

The FMG Soldati class destroyer next to the OOB model.

The FMG Italian sub with the OOB version.

The Italian Zara class cruiser with the OOB version.

The Littorio class battleship next to the OOB BB.

The Aquila class CV with the OOB CV. The wider flight deck is really great for faster game play. Planes set on there easier. Thanks so much Jeremy for all your efforts. It has been some kind of project! And now it really is on the way.

Yes they are.  Check out this pic Jeremy shared a few months back.  The King Tigers are the pre-production molds that are submitted for approval before the factory commits to making the mould.  Final pieces will be grey.

i do addore his humor <3

Painted my pieces avocado green to distinguish them from the russians.  This is a close match to the green used by Avalon Hill in Axis & Allies Revised for their UK units.  I liked the colour (but not on the UK units) and thought it to be pretty good for the Italians.

I used Krylon avocado green fast dry.

I also modified FMG’s battleships by raising the B turrets.

In response to a PM, yes, that is Lego in the background.

What about the armored cars? Did you paint them?

I only painted what you see.  I didn’t do the armoured cars, as I liked using the half track instead for a mec unit.  The armoured car I see as a reconassaince unit, which I don’t see in a game in this scale.  I think there are too many units as it is.

Here are some shots of the painted Italians at war!

Spring 1941.
