Yeah I wish HBG would take a pic with the scupt next to an OOB unit, so you can get a better concept of its size.
So I ended up just buying some more Tigers, painted them brown, and decided not worry about the historical accuracy.
Night camo with yellow and white are the next two pictures. There will be no individual pictures of these. There will be more planes to come, LOL.

I like the green camo a lot. Those are really sweet John… Good Job!
I’m glad you like them. I thought it was one of my better sets as well. :-D
The last two pictures for today are the Desert Me-323 transport plane, and I painted the old green camo’s propellers from yellow to red, on the other transport plane.
I painted 5 planes in a snow tiger theme, my fifth camo scheme for the winter. One of the BF-109’s I should have sanded, so it is the plane, I really messed up on, but all in all, I thought I did a good job, on most of the planes.:-D

man your Luftwaffe keeps looking better and better ever new batch you paint up john brown! My favs are your fw190’s in the grey and black camo…and all your german green redone squadron! Great work! painting pieces can get addicting cant it?? especially when you group them all together in formation :-D
Nice work John! I love the new green.
Nice work John, keep it up. 8-)
Thanks DM!
man your Luftwaffe keeps looking better and better ever new batch you paint up john brown! My favs are your fw190’s in the grey and black camo…and all your german green redone squadron!  Great work! painting pieces can get addicting cant it?? especially when you group them all together in formation  :-D
Thanks JWO!
I like the Fw-190s and Stukas, but you can tell by my avatar. You all told me patience is the key, and now I see the results.
This hobby is very addicting.
I got to play Global 39 for the first time today, but had to leave the game after 6 rounds.
It was a blast! I don’t who won. It was close.
Thanks Spitfire! I like it too, the more I see it. :-D
Update: I wanted to let you guys know that my next project will be the German Navy, but I also decided that I’m also going to start painting infrastructure pieces from shapeways, in between my German pieces.
I may also just paint whatever I feel like. Whatever gets me in the mood to paint, because I may get bored and decide to paint another countries pieces.
I will try to stick with one country at a time, but will not promise it.
There maybe times where I will do a piece that I just got from HBG, because you got to be excited about what you paint, right?
I will not give myself timelines anymore. They just don’t work.
I had an emergency appendectomy, last week and just now feeling myself again. I was lucky to have survived it, so thanks for the support from the guys that know about it.
One last thing, I will be starting another thread for my German pieces, so that you can view them in one place. They will be shot on HBG’s 1939 map.
Once I get the 1936 map, all pictures will be taken on it.
Whenever, I complete a group of pieces, they will always be on this thread, and then will be re-shot on their perspective countries thread.
Each country will eventually have it’s own thread, and there will be a infrastructure thread as well, as I complete pieces.
I’m glad you all liked those last several planes I did. It was a lot of fun doing them.
Now on to other projects! :-D
Thanks,
John
Hi guys, Jwo wanted me to show the comparison of the OOB German Bismarck and the new 3D ships from HBG, which are the German H-44 super battleship that comes in grey and black, and the new British super carrier which comes in tan.
You will see I primed the Bismarck and the British super carrier, so that you can see the fine details of these new 3D pieces.
I didn’t prime the new German super battleship because I had bought them in black and gray.
I took pictures of the gray one, primed the other two.
I wasn’t going to do the British one, but Jwo asked me to prime it gray, because the tan in HBG’s picture doesn’t show the details real well.
Since, I’m priming them, I will probably paint two of them after the German navy.
Will see! :-)
These are awesome pieces by HBG!
Enjoy! I hope this helps with your purchases, by seeing the details more clearly.

Thanks for showing those off JB. Wow that German battleship looks awesome! Lots of detail int there to paint. You have any references for schemes? Any historical concept references for either ship I wonder ?
These speciality 3 d pieces is really making me want to get this HBG 1939 global game! Does anyone here play it ? And how does it compare to axis and allies global 1940?

No problem Jwo!
I don’t know of any references, but I’m going to paint my German Navy all in Baltic Camo and an alternative Baltic Gray Camo, as well. If you look at the pictures of the Bismarck, that is the look I will try to replicate.
As far as Global 1939, go to the main page, and look under Global War thread. The guys that play it, always post there.
I hope that helps. :-)

Jwo, I am currently learning Global 1939 and have played part of a game. Global 1939 is like Global 1940 on steroids. a lot more in depth, more units, more political situations and special rules, but very fun.
It takes awhile to learn the rules, but very entertaining. Once you start reading the rules, it will get addicting, because then you will want to buy different HBG pieces and markers to add to your overall game experience.
Go to boardgamegeek.com and join it and search for Global 1939. After you find the game, go close to the bottom of the page, and you will see links to the rules for version 7.2 Global 1939 setup, and you will also need to click the link for the 7.2 rules, as well.
Or, maybe someone be kind enough to provide you a link. :-)

Your improvement over the months has been huge! Fantastic job John.
Been enjoying your posts here John. I like your work.
Question: How would you describe the surface texture of the 3D printed ships you have? Based on these and others I have seen, it really looks like they have an uneven, sandpaper-like texture; such that paint on the surfaces will seep into the depressions and give a pock-marked look.
@LH. I have seen a few things 3D printed and they really aren’t that rough depending on the sculpt. There are some 3D prints of war game miniatures that look really good. They can in many cases can be sanded. It also depends on the plastic filament used and the DPI of the printer. The primary two plastics for printing are ABS and PLA. ABS is more durable but uses high temperatures to print while PLA prints at lower temperature but isn’t as strong.
I’m not sure what your experiences are with gaming miniatures but the printed ones can be just as easily prepared for paint in most cases
Your improvement over the months has been huge! Fantastic job John.
I really appreciate it. I have been working extremely hard, but have been lot more patient. Everything, you all have told me about painting, has been spot on, and I really appreciate everyone’s input.
I have learned a lot from all of you, and it has paid off.
Thanks again buddy! :-)

Thanks, I really appreciate your comments!
LHoffman, I’m no expert, but to me they have been the easiest pieces to paint. I’m not sure why, but I really like them, to be honest with you.
I really like painting these pieces.
What you have described is correct in a sense, but they are easy to paint to me.
I will say this, don’t step on them or crush them with your hands, because they can bend really easy and break.
I had to superglue one of my M-323 transport planes, because I bent it and broke it.
Just be careful with them!
They add a whole new dimension to your game play. They really are awesome, and the material is getting better all the time.
I hope this helps! :-)
