More painted pieces for consideration

jwo1984 & others,

@jwo1984:

Tall Paul I didn’t notice any 109’s in your Germany thread, just 190s and me110s.  Did the 109’s not make the warmachine painting roster?
––The reason for that is I decided to wait for the MUCH BETTER DETAILED
BF-109 and JU-87 aircraft that HBG is releasing in their upcoming
Axis Minors Set #2 (pictured below). As time permits I will EVENTUALLY also replace the HE-111s with the better detailed HBG versions.

I’m thinking of getting some extras of the axis minors and doing sets for Croatia and Slovakia… Long term they will be fully painted but in the short term I need to pick some national colors for the pieces.

Essentially all the current hbg colors are claimed more or less as hbg market them.

Any ideas? I don’t have any game to actually play with them on but the hobby aspect of painting them is the draw for me.

Those are nice and helpfull plates but for the immediate time I’m thinking flat colour. Eventually the piece will be fully painted with only the base of infantry and spot colour on the armor and aircraft that will tie them back to the national colour….

Spanish Republic is plum but other shades of purple are open and I reckon there’s another shade of blue I could use.  Anyway… Was just wondering if anyone else has given the subject some thought

Man those are very nice. Great job on all those. If you go to boardgamegeek.com and look up the 1940 pacific game, allworkandnoclay has pictures of his Australian forces. He, himself has his own website, but I don’t know the name of it. It might be under his same name here. It is a flickr account, I believe.

I hope that helps!

Thank you, buddy! :-D

No problem - I have it bookmarked for obvious reasons :)

Also, those Boomerangs look sweet! Where did you get your sources Jwo?

And what’s your storage solution for all of these, especially the planes? I’m always on the lookout for innovative ideas to copy!

@John:

I don’t think there is a Me262 being made on the Axis Minor 2 set. I just looked it up, and it isn’t on there.

Jwo, where did you see this?

John brown you are right, I was mixing up the sets. axis minors have no me262, I was thinking about the kickstarter game HBG is putting out called Amerika. � Don’t know if any of you looked into this game but the custom pieces they have coming look nothing short of deadly awesome. � Below is the German set for Amerika with the me262

I am definitely looking forward to this set for Heavy tanks, jets, SPA, new inf, etc…Japan will finally have an SPA that doesn’t look like a tank. Also they have the T28 tank as well as the meteor jet, Gotha, Horton and more of the Kikka from the Japan expansion set. I was originally interested in this set because it was the only place I could find a Meteor jet. Doug at HBG said they would release in about 7 weeks. The UK set is 4 weeks away so it looks like Sept and Oct will be booked for painting, :)

Yes, it will be exciting, the more pieces we get, the better it will be. Did you see my Japanese Navy, Spitfire36 did for me on his first page of my set, he is doing for me?

If you haven’t check it out. :-)
