That’ll do it - and after you have used your playing pieces for a while, you’ll see if you need to spray a new layer of matt varnish.
2-3 layers - each layer thinly sprayed - and dry 24 hours between each layer.

Brits in basic with some odd ball Fortress America rejects.
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.

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!

Guys,
––I’m certain that ALL of us appreciate this great forum,…but we are truly fortunate in having so many people that are quite skilled in strategy, painting, computer work, etc. that also SHARE everything with the others here on A&A.Org!

Nice picture and good job painting your sculpts similarly. My guess is that this is pre-war photo, possibly of a training squadron. The US eliminated the red dot from its aircraft roundel shortly after the war broke out, since it resembled too much the red disc of the Japanese roundel, so the picture pre-dates December 1941. And as I recall from the Technicolor film “Dive Bomber” with Fred MacMurray, the USN used a yellow paint scheme for its trainers.

Thanks Marc.

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

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

Toblerone77,
Question for you: how did you get the “CUSTOMIZER” tab on your profile?
Marc has your answer pretty much there. The link kind of shows why, what, when ,where and who made this happen.
There are people here a lot better than me on a lot of subjects involving customization and HRs/game ideas, and I was surprised I even received it.
“Customizer” covers a lot and I’m sure in time others will be awarded this badge. For myself I nominated a few who really showed they were doing a lot for the game. Most notably “Most Holy” and “alllworkandnoclay” they both paint and Most Holy is the host of Dicestruction podcast. This to my knowledge is the only podcast which features Axis & Allies exclusively. These guys were just a couple whom I nominated. I asked a few people to move allworkandnoclay’s thread to customizations to help all those who paint and customize their units as a tool.
The credit for much of this goes to YoungGrasshopper who suggested the badge for Der Kuenstler initially, whom I also nominated for his war room and his HR work.
