John Brown's Painted Axis and Allies Pieces

PHASE TWO OF FIVE CAMO SCHEMES of the GERMAN LUFTWAFFE

**German Luftwaffe Painted in the Green Camo Scheme consisting of 27 planes: Well guys, after I sprayed the protective coat, I decided to take pictures and post them. I hope you enjoy them. :-)

The first two pictures are of all 27 planes together.

It was beautiful summer morning as the sentry was admiring the skies above him, but suddenly in the distance, above the trees, he sees many shadows above it, and he knew it was too late.

The Luftwaffe came in an ambush without warning. The Raiders of the skies swooped down and torched the earth below.

**

The next picture is the Yellow Group first, then the Red Group.

The next two pictures will be the BF-109’s and the FW-190’s.

The next two pictures will be the Me-110’s twin engine fighters and the Me-262 Jetfighters.

The next two pictures are the Stuka dive bombers and the Ju-88 medium bombers.

The next two pictures are the He-111 medium bombers and the Do-17 medium bombers.

The next picture will be the Ju-488 heavy bomber.

The last two pictures will be the Ju-52 transport plane.

Awesome work. Keep it going  8-)

Thanks dangermouse! I appreciate it. Now it is time to work on phase 3, but got to take a break. :-D

@toblerone77:

Really great looking stuff JB!

Thanks Tolerone, I really worked on these. My next project will be the desert scheme. It should be a lot of fun. :-)

Guys, phase three of the Luftwaffe will be the desert camo. I will not give a timeline, because I’m going to be experimenting more with this set and this is a busy time for me, but I will post them when I’m done.

Thanks guys! :-)

@Spitfire38:

Nice work John! I hope you enjoyed painting them.

Thanks Spitfire! It was fun, but I’m learning, when your very tired, it is not a good time to paint, because you make too many mistakes, especially if your decaling.

There were a couple of times, I made some mistakes, and it was because I was too tired.

I won’t do that again, LOL, but overall it is fun! :-D

@R:

Nice work John……looking good!

Thanks buddy! I appreciate it. :-D

Guys, I’m just curious, am I using too much protective coat or is it just the lighting in my pictures. I notice my paint jobs have tiny bumps or is that normal?

Any help would be appreciative.

Thanks,

John

John,

The pieces look great. As for small bumps it could be many things they’re not really noticeable. One thing to remember is the scale you’re working with. These pieces will be seen from a couple feet away thus they are perfect from a tabletop point of view.

I’ve researched this from miniature war game painter’s techniques. In otherwords when painting large armies in small scales the greatest effect is achieved by not a single model but the grouping of many models on the tabletop which create the “wow” factor.

If you get on YouTube look up 6mm miniature painting and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

All in all I think your pieces look great and anyone playing with them is going to get an extra level of depth and excitement playing the game.

Thanks Tolerone. I’m a perfectionist, and I sometimes look at flaws, instead of the positives. As long as you guys like them, I’m pleased.

I just want to improve my painting and decal work.

Thanks again! :-D

John
