Tricked out my AA50th - pics in a bucket

@Viracocha:

hehehe - It’s strange really.  Sometimes when I’m ‘in the zone’, I’ll take the time to paint something that I doubt anyone will ever notice… yet once the idea is my head - it’s gotta get to a fig. eh eh eh   Example: I ran across an Italian with a flash mark on his face… after a few very precise cuts and painting attempts, booya, the Italian has a cigarette in his mouth. But I think the point is I know it’s there.  Well… and he looks cooler when I’m using them for action figures  :-D

Excellent! That’s the kind of quality we all want, the stuff you can’t even see. Then you know it’s the real deal.  8-)

Yup. I added more details to my 105mm prototype. Don’t tell Paul. 6 more steps. I’ll post on the nest update.

Wil,

––Three MORE cheers for the Sgt. !

Hip, hip, Hooray!
Hip, hip, Hooray!
Hip, hip, Hooray!

----I would’ve said “huuua” but didn’t think I was allowed as I’m Army, and not a
“Jarhead Marine”. :-D
----Like I said on your thread, I was surprised :-o when I found your 105’s to be my favorite of that batch of ‘goodies’. They look GREAT! :-D

@Viracocha:

OK… I have my artillery separated… they’re upset that Sgt. inspired me, they don’t like the look of the hobby knife.   :evil:

––Do you have any pics of the artillery units you’re working on? Or pics of any of your units. I need a “fix” for my painted A&A addiction and yours are always great to look at!

“Tall Paul”

V.I.P. “V”,

––I certainly wouldn’t want you to ever feel any ‘pressure’ from me for showing me some pics of your wonderful painted units. I simply enjoy and appreciate the talents you have for painting them. Old pics are just as good as new ones to me. And yes, I’d love to see pics of the Italian units you painted for Jeremy if posssible. We have a shared interest(addiction) to our painted A&A units, haha.

----And as far as my units, I must say that “Allwork”, Wil, and Lucas are VERY TALENTED guys and deserve all of the credit. But what I enjoy most of all is that they’re also really nice guys to work with. We have literally dozens of new units in the que with some Navy/Marine F-4F Wildcats about to be finished.

@Viracocha:

Tallest of Pauls,
––Actually, I’m the shortest in my family, only 6’-4".
'Pressure?" Bah, no worries.
––Good.
No word from Jeremy… but I’m sure he’s got his hands full, they’ll be posted eventually I’m sure.
––Yep, I can only imagine how busy he is.
eh eh eh - “shared interest (addiction)” - heheh - you got that right.
––Well, I gave it a shot as they say. We should have some pics of my ‘Wildcat’ fighters really soon, I’ll let you know.
Yeah - you have a fantastic war machine crew, your completed set is going to be awesome.�  You need to host a game with the whole warmachine when it’s all done (+ 1 - me :)
––I’m very much looking forward to the day I get all of these units done. Sometimes it seems I may not live that long, though, haha. Wil is cranking them out quite fast, but they still need painting. I’ll certainly send you an (un)engraved invitation to the initial game that uses only highly detailed, painted units. Just remember,…you’re V.I.P. “V”

Some outstanding gaming tables here. My only problem is space! :|

Bulmfi,

––I agree, Viracocha does a great job on his paint jobs. And his “personality” is even better. These and his moral support of everyone on the site are the main reasons that I nominated him for a “Customiser” award. I’d like to see some (more) of his painted pics, too.

how hard would it be to cut 2 of the engines of the bombers from classic? oh and have it looks good when it’s done.

Hi, I would very much like to see your painted collection. I had difficulty seeing your collection in photo bucket. Is their anyway you can post your pics. I have most of my own miniatures pianted, some look good others not so good. Painting my own miniatures has been a long project. When I figure how to I will post some of my painted minis. If you want to you can see some of my own in youtube. Look me up, and check out my videos.

Yavid,

––Just what particular aircraft are you wanting to end up with. The reason I’m asking is that there are already many two-enine bombers produced. Between all of the Out Of Box, Historical Board Gaming, Field Marshal Gaming, and now Shapeways units,…you have MANY, MANY, choices already.
----You might want to also check-out all of HBG’s Global Warfare 1939 Expansion Sets that are coming out very soon.

sorry for the late reply. I was asking because I really wanted 2 engine bomber for UK and ANZAC to hold me over until HBG did one. Well right after I asked they made the B-25 available in UK tan and ANZAC grey so there’s no need or want to try to make some from classic bombers.

@Viracocha:

Random - darn it.� � Still “413 Request Entity Too Large” (even on text posts (?)).� � I vaguely recall having troubles on this forum before in regard to pics.� � Easier to just post on BBG and post the link here?� � Mod?

Viracocha, if you resize the picture to 40% zoom, instead of keeping it at 100%, usually that will work.

Try that and see if that helps. It worked for me. I can’t wait to see your photos.:-)
