Nice work @ari236
@Playing-Kid said in My First Custom Map:
You can use Gimp as a great free software to make your maps
And I agree with Gimp. That’s the tool I used for working on my map files.
That’s the dream right there. Looks awesome.
Those Japan transports… HBG? Love them!
Ya, those are the 1941 OOB Transports… they come in both Japanese Orange and German Black (both from 1941)… and yes, you can get them from HBG, but they are the 1941 OOB transports.
I was using the 1941 transports for both Germany and Japan (I hated the 1940/1942 OOB German transports), but I recently swapped out my German transports for the new German transports that HBG recently released.
Those new German transports are the bomb! :-D
Guys, I decided to set up Oztea’s Global 1941 Setup om my metal map, because it show cases more of the British and America pieces. I only set up the Pacific portion naturally because, I don’t have the complete Europe side of the map done yet, because it is a few years away from being done.
I will take pictures of the Europe US and Pacific pieces, within a couple weeks, so be on the lookout for that.
I hope you enjoy these pictures. :-)

Ok guys, all the focus has been on the Pacific side of the map, but now, it is time to focus on the European side of the world.
I never took pictures of the UK EUROPEAN FORCES, so look for those pictures, soon.
At the end of the year, I will have the US EUROPEAN FORCES, by Spitfire, hopefully, and I will post them, then.
So, look for them, as well. :-)

Thanks SS!
You, and many others have inspired me to get my set painted, get a map made, and in the process, with help from others, I have learned to paint pieces, as well.
Spitfire did an amazing job on this set.
Thanks for the reply. :-)
