Toblerone77's Paint Warfare.

@jluna1273:

Looking good, keep up the great work. Are you putting any kind of protective clear coat on your pieces?

Thanks.
Yes. I do Antique Black Minwax as an under-coat as opposed to primer. Then I dip them in  Anitique Walnut or Classic Oak depending on the paint scheme. You can paint a dull coat over that if you want but I like the shiney "Micro Machine " look. They look much better than these pics when they’re on the table with the Minwax. Not on ly that it makes the little suckers bullet-proof.

Carriers and subs done.

Ah, yes – I have some of those guys in my collection.  You did a good job giving them a new vocation in life!

LOL thanks Marc. I still have no idea what to do with them. I used them to practice painting with a few months ago. I have them painted in so many schemes I thought of using them as mercenaries or rebels in some of my other non-Axis & Allies games.

Those ones in that particular photo were painted months ago but I didn’t “dip” them until today. The photo doesn’t show it well but, those particular ones are in various colors and paint schemes. I have mentally referred to them as my “Occupy Hasbro” assault force.

@Tall:

––Nice work there! I always enjoy seeing some well done paint jobs of yours.

Thank you, Tall Paul. That means quite a bit considering your fine collection of custom painted pieces. There is so much amazing work going on around here!

This photo inspired me to paint some early USN carrier aircraft.

Thanks Marc.

@Der:

although magnetizing my carriers may come first…�

Yes, I can see why this might be a more, um, attractive option.

Lol nice Marc.

@Der:

Great work! Makes me want to give it a try - although magnetizing my carriers may come first…

Thanks Der Kuenstler.
