Painting the world at war

very cool and very impressive!

@dangermouse650:

One of my sons sits with me and paints his army men as well  :-D

EH eh eh - that’s awesome!

Those are excellent!  Love the tanks especially - nice camo, aircraft as well.  Know what you’re saying about the sheer numbers to be painted, at a glance it is daunting…  :wink:

Just curious, Dangermouse, why didn’t you post a link that was working ?
Now I have to do a lot of work if I wanna have a look.
Just saying.

Awesome painting job, I’ve fallen so in love with it, I’m going to paint all mine as well!

question, where did you find the stands for the fighters/bombers.  I saw some stands like those on a website but wasn’t sure the size needed :(

Very Awesome mate! I love the desert colors, very very cool, I’d love to do this myself and hopefully I’ll be able to find the time.
I was wondering about the stands myself. Are they rubber that you paint? Also, is that a bi-plane I see in with your french pieces?

Also, if you were wondering why Japan has so few Tac Bombers it’s because the Pacfic game ships with 6 less and the wrong battle board. If you e-mail Wizards of the Coast they should send you replacements. I was able to get mine without having to provided a recpit. Simply explained I’d gotten the games as a christmas present.

As I’m not allowed to post links either go to Wizards.com and under contact us there is an e-mail selection on the left side click it and then in the search bar type in “Axis & Allies Pacific” And you should be able to find it.

Fantastic work! I noticed the bi planes as well and want to know… plus in the US air fleet there are P-40s and P-51s. What’s up there? Did you modify some Spitfires and MiGs? You must let us know as they came out great!

magnet on one side and sticky on the other, i was wondering how ya did that with the carriers as well… mmm

!!

Thanks fellas, the extra planes i got through  " brookhursthobbies dot com" and “tumblingdice dot com”, yes swordfish and typhoons for the brits, america just wasn’t complete without p40’s p51’s and corsairs, there are 2 avengers there as well. Have recently received some b25’s, p47’s and some french d520’s to add to the mix. I found the site through reference from one of the other fellow painters here and have enjoyed expanding my collection. Lots more parts to come yet.
      Thanks for the info carnage, have just sent them an email.
     My aircraft stands, i originally drilled little holes in the aircraft to mount them on the nails but then it formed on me to just use the magnets like i do on the carriers and the fighters. The magnet is a rubber strip less than 1mm thick.

Love those corsairs especially - and the biplanes, awesome.  But what site are those from?  I couldn’t seem to find either at Brookhurst… and are they plastic?

Looking that the sites I’m having trouble finding all the pieces I’d want; this is kindof a personal question but a) I’m sure I’m not the only one wonder and b) it’ll save me some time. Not inluding paints and brushes what did the mini’s cost to purchase in total? Feel free no to answer, it is personal, I could just see myself getting addicted to doing this and I’d like to know what I’m getting into ;).

I can’t even find those pieces on those sites…

Me either :( I just wasn’t man enough to admit it… I attribute it to my inability to ask for directions.

Once I click on miniatures games I don’t see tumbling dice as any of my options anywhere on the page. I’m beginning to feel slightly retarded.
