RE: First Customization Project: Painting the Pieces (A&A 1942)
@LevHunter
Inspired by Siredblood, General Handgranade, DKunsler, & DTroit: I also broke out the modeling paints after 35 plus years of putting those skills down. There are a lot of
great tips on youtube, check out the forementioned videos from the gentlemen listed above & it will open your eyes as to the steps needed to maximize your effort. After all if your are going to make the paint $$$ & time effort, you want to produce the best understanding that you will get better as you go. I began my effort in early December and have nearly completed my sets except for the soldiers, they require the most detail & hence I saved best for last. Depending on your budget: I found the following helpful:- modeler’s tweezers,
- primer/paint cans available at HDepot/Lowes: they will provide excellent base coat & protect your pieces: pretty inexpensive.
- nondrying children’s playdo: to keep units in place when you spray.
The list goes on but def check out the videos.
I have to say the game definitely come to life with the paint/effort made. I don’t look at the game in the same way. Good luck to your effort!

RE: 35mm Flight Stands Now Available - 25mm Flight Stands Back in stock!
Ty James @ I Will Never Grow Up for making these available! After putting so much work into my customizations & knowing how much other enthusiasts have done the same, if not more, the flight stands will be put to good use… plus they match my previous purchases of the 25mm… the small footprint, weighted bottom, and ss finish are unmatched.

RE: Metal Flight Stands - Different height? Is there an interest?
Deadline is getting really close & campaign goal has not been met… we need to spread the word !!! I know the game has never been the same since I purchased these stands; totally different feeling when playing & looking at the map!

RE: Custom carriers from OOB's and painted pieces
@DMcLaren thank you for the insight. I’ll have to re examine my painted vessels for my Global 1940 after I complete soldiers. its a lot of work but your have established and set the bar for finished work. Freaking Amazing… I already know I’m working under a magnifying lens to ensure my units are painted in detail…but even then the ships are on another level of
detail… -

@Admiral-T
Thank you Admiral-T for sharing; I completely understand the spirit and enjoyment for the game. My family members have been puzzled and intrigued about how devoted I am to customizing my game by painting my pieces, magnetizing them, etc. Your contribution to the community is as vital in making the game more enjoyable and dynamic. Thank you! My email is jepascual3@gmail.com. Please send me your address, would like to acknowledge your work & effort. -
