Concerning design and layout with customized game boards, we made a hand-made drawing - gave it to a professional company - made a great deal - and mass produced the game boards to reduce costs.

When i received the british supplement set i was amazed at how big the stirling was, it is huge. I didn’t like that the wings were closed in on the “stringbag” so i took to them with the dremel. Maybe not real smooth and i did break one but anyway. All have been painted but i have not put any squadron numbers on as yet.
The “stringbags” first……

These are really cool looking. Excellent job on these! :-D

Fairey Barracudas……

wow DM I really liked how you drummeled out all that ugly blocky plastic on the stringbag’s. Looks soo much better now that is some customization work! I agree with you as well the HBG Stirling bomber was massive! you try using that piece on a spring 1942 board and there is no way it is too massive next too the Lancaster or Halifax. But a great piece for some research pieces in global for a heavy bomber. I ended up painting panel lines on mine just cause the piece was so big I wanted to add somemore detail. I wish that the king George battleships were a little bigger as well! Enjoying your pieces and historical accuracy on your aircraft! keep posting pics!

Thank you John and jwo for the comments, i am enjoying my work, though i think i better slow down a bit and concentrate more on quality rather than quantity, my impatience is getting the better of me lately and it is showing.
Some Hurricanes + extras.

The massive stirlings……
I do have to finish the brit airforce off with squadron markings, will come back to it sometime, next on the to do list is the Japanese air from the sup and exp sets. -
Those are really awesome. I really love the dremeled bi-planes. Can’t wait to see more.
-
No problem DM, the amount of things you paint is so impressive. You and Cyanight have done so many pieces. It is just cool to witness, and is very inspiring.
I just hope to get to that point some day. :-D
-
yeah I agree DM, the one thing about quantity is that it can burn you out, or really start to tighten up your lower back lol! I see you hand painted your roundels like I have. Isnt it hard doing the brits? espeacially with the yellow ring, and finally the tiny red dot! I wish I could find of british markings to scale with the yellow ring cause they are a bugger to try and paint and look good. you mix your own colors? the camo’s look very accurate!

Thanks for comments guys, John, time and patience(i know, 2 of the hardest things to master :-)) but it will come. JWO, i’m using tamiya paints mostly, most of the colours come straight from the pot, there are a few colours that need to be darkened or lightened
-
HOLY SCHNIKIES! Those are Beauties DM! I just want to pull them out of the screen and play “Micro Machines” with them.

ROFL! My last FTF game was Spring '42 and the Stirling was WAY too big for that board. Nice model but I think it may need to be used elsewhere in my plastic arsenal. In fact it’s big enough that you could pre-shade panel-lines with an airbrush and a .2mm or maybe .3mm needle nozzle :D

Thanks for comments guys, it inspires me to keep going, the japanese airforce isn’t too far off now, had the 42.2 board set up so here are a few pics.
