Operation Paintskrieg

Very colourful, mate! Nice work indeed. I like the Soviet ships and submarines! Very imaginative.  :-)

Couldn’t agree with you more about when you see all the painted minis ‘in-game’, looks awesome.  Thanks for posting the exact names of the paints you used… running out of options for gray but I noticed you use a few I don’t have, gonna try some of those shades as well.

Still haven’t gotten around to whipping up a site for my painted minis… time, need more of it.  I like yours - good stuff.   :-D

@falconrider:

Whilst on the topic of painting, i play Warhammer Fantasy and love to play but hate the painting so paid an overseas company to paint my stuff.  They did a good job and were priced well.  Maybe i should get them to paint my AA minatures too.  If your wondering who they are you can find them at wwwdotpaintedfigsdotcom

I want to have all my Italians (FMG and OOB) done in light grey (to make them easier recognizable as opposed to the Soviets), anyone know some company who could do that at a reasonable price? Doing it myself is not an option since I could mess up even something as ‘simple’ as painting them all one color, nor do I have the patience to do it myself.

Try Historical Board Gaming dot com. He has single-color painted A&A pieces so I know he knows how to do it.

Those are fantastic, Captain. I like the British naval units - good colouration.

Congrats on finishing this most amazing project! And I shouldn’t need to say this but,

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!

Fantastic job Captain.

Captain Kiwi,

Congratulations on a job well done!

I also noticed your aircraft stands that have a small “footprint”. May I ask what you used, or did you make them? They look like the perfect size.

Captain Kiwi, (cool name by the way)

Thanks for the responce concerning the aircraft stands. I think they’re just the right size. And your paint jobs are really well done. Thanks again for sharing.

Wow, great paintings. Thanks for sharing this. This inspired me to start a Paintskrieg by myself.

holy shit , they all looking awesome …  :-o

WOW, very nice job  :wink:

Hey folks. I’ve been quietly following this forum for over a year now. This has been a really inspirational page for me and I’ve drawn a lot of ideas from the community. I’ve decided to start my own Paintskrieg and am posting everything to my blog to keep it in one place:

I’d love to hear your input as I go through the project. I’m new to painting miniatures but I love Axis and Allies and have some cool ideas that I think would work, so here goes!

Wow, very nice work. It is always cool to see someone’s painted pieces. Thanks for showing your work. :-)
