Hey allwork,
Did you notice that between Pac40 and Guadalcanal there are two differenet types of US infantry molds? The base of the figures seems to be different sizes. Anyone know why that is?
My Early copy of AAC came with 1/76 scale infantry and the later copy had the now standard 1/72 scale. I’m surprised to hear that the 1/76 reappeared 20 years later. Maybe the molds are still around and they used the wrong ones??? :?

I just went ahead an painted the smaller molds as regular US Army infantry and the larger ones as US Marines. I usually do them all the same, but I wanted to make sure I have Marines in case I play the old Pacific again. Besides, I’d never use anything other than Marines for Guadalcanal anyways.

That should be the last base that will give you a challenge. Compared to the the remaining ones should be easy!

It’s is defiantly a ppsh. why would they be holding a tomson. I always thought they were holding a mausin-naguit.

mosin nagant doesnt have a drum magazine, I have one in my bedroom……friggin sweet.

Quite inspirational work. Well done guys!! :mrgreen: 8-)

wait, you painted the sickles rotated wrong? They look exactly the same as the ones on the gameboard underneath them to me. Am I missing something?

This is not Allwork’s fault, but I believe I am correct that the majority of Russian soldiers did not wear helmets… most wore hats of some sort.
Awesome job though… these are magnificent!

I suppose they are 72 degrees off (rotate the roundel one star point). the sickle and hammer handles are supposed to both be angled downward. I’m actually almost finished fixing it, and I think they look better than before anyway.

because umm it they can. I also think that a tomson and a tommy gun are different.

Ok - the corrected roundels are finished. I just replaced the last files, so you can check the previous page in the forum to see them.

You need to edit the text in those posts where you say you are considering repainting them. They look very nice.

Allwork, these are friggin phenomenal! I will be painting my own pieces at some point too and I will definitely look to your designs for inspiration, although I confess I don’t have the steadiness to do the bases like you - you are far more talented and patient - beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Kepp up the amazing work. Cannot wait to see your Germans & Italians! :-o

Thanks everyone!
Should be getting my three copies of Europe this week. Also, in other news, just became the happy owner of a copy of the Anniversary edition. :-D

How did you manage that? Did you find a great deal or something?
