Thanks for the feedback. Most of the rules for the game were crowd sourced from those actually playing an axis and allies style game. The game was never intended to be a historically accurate representation of the American civil war…as are the axis and allies WW2 games. They are themed games. You are welcome to try it out on Steam tabletop simulator if you have it before casting any kind of judgement. It really is a fun game that challenge players. If you want more historically accurate games, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
John Brown's Painted Axis and Allies Pieces
-
I now have great respect for you guys that paint, because it is tough. Spitfire38 is still doing my set, because he has a lot more time than I do, but I decided to give it a try.
I won’t be as good as some of you that have been painting awhile, but I thought I would take a crack at it, but in smaller portions.
Look for me to post only pictures of what I paint on this thread. The things that Spitfire38 is doing will be posted on his thread.
My metal map thread, will have a combination of any painted piece, I have.
Be on the look out for upcoming projects that I will post on this thread, concerning painted pieces.
Feel free to comment me with advice, critique my work or any praise will be greatly appreciative. :-D
Thanks,
John

Good luck John! May your paint be ever-so-smooth, your brushes finely shaped, and your fingers always nimble. Join the club. :)

Thanks guys, I appreciate the words of encouragement. Since you guys are so supportive, I will go ahead and show you, my only two paint jobs, I’ve done.
I painted 2 German BF 109’s.
The first one was a black BF 109. I tried to paint a simple white stripe by the side decals, the problem is, I don’t know how long you too wait for the acrylic paint to dry before you do nose coloring, stripes or camo. I used a gray primer, then I painted the main color black.
When I tried to paint the stripe, I had problems, even worse when I tried to paint the nose of the plane, it would have black still showing underneath. It was looking like one big glob of a mess.
Can you all explain how you do those things and make look smooth?
The second BF 109 was suppose to be a German Green Camo, with dark and light green stripes, here again, I don’t know when to add the next camo color, because I don’t how long you wait for it too dry.
For some reason, it came out awesome, because I smeared four colors and made this affect on the plane. Now, it doesn’t have the distinct camo lines, as the German green camo, normally has, but I think it still looks sharp.
I would fly it, LOL.
Also would have liked to had a yellow nose with yellow side stripes, but maybe, you all can give me some advice.
Without further delay, here is my first works. Enjoy! :-D
