PART TWO: ALL SIX GROUPS: DESERT CAMO SCHEMES

GROUP ONE: HISTORICAL GERMAN DESERT CAMO SCHEME
GROUP TWO: ANCIENT BRASS CAMO SCHEME
GROUP THREE: PURE GOLD CAMO SCHEME (BOTH THE BRASS AND GOLD ARE PART OF MY METTALLIC SERIES: I got the idea of the brass, like an archaeologist finding an ancient relic in the desert, which led to my Indiana Jones moment, when Hitler was trying to find the lost Ark, and if did, would he feel invincible enough, to build ground forces of solid gold.)
GROUP FOUR: COPPER TIGER CAMO SCHEME: (This another metallic camo scheme, I came up with.)
GROUP FIVE: DESERT TIGER CAMO SCHEME
GROUP SIX: DESERT CHEETAH CAMO SCHEME**

@IronWill:

Yay!  Finally able to post images!  I’ll try to get some pics of the flight chips in action to post soon.

IronWill, HBG does sale fuel markers, but your yellow ones, definitely are more noticeable. :-D

Thanks Spitfire38, for your kind words and encouragement, as well. Yes, looking forward to meeting you someday as well, whether painting or playing.

Thanks buddy! :-D

Cheers!

John

Just wanted to congratulate Spitfire38. He graduated from college and is now working.

He will no longer be painting my global set.

Unfortunately, he is very busy.

From this point on, I will finish the global set, myself.

I’m currently on Germany, and will be painting the Italians, Russians and French to complete my set, then I will continue with Facilities and Global 36 and it’s, expansion sets.

These will be on my thread, "John Brown’s Painted Axis and Allies Pieces."

Just wanted to thank you, Spitfire38, for working for me these past few years.

It has been a pleasure.

This doesn’t mean Spitfire38 will not paint future things for me, because I never say never, but it will be awhile before he paints again, except maybe, for himself.

Congrats brother, once again, and thanks for helping me get started, into painting, as well as others, here on the forums, and on youtube, as well.

Cheers, to you Brother, and all fellow painters who have helped me! :-D

For some reason my img wont show, Any ideas?

Awesome picture, Cyanight. I heard now, that you have to pay photobucket, from another forum member, but not sure.

@Wildcat6305:

In my house rules I have incorporated Heavy Tanks as a unit, similar to GHG’s Heavy Tank rule.
My question is what piece do you use for the each nation?
Specifically the Italians/minor Axis.
In my house rules, I only allow the US, UK, USSR, Germany, and Italy to build Heavy Tanks.
I bought units from HBG, and I was very pleased with the quality.
In trying to select a Hvy Tank for Italy though I bought a brown Stugs. The units look great, but they are about the same size as the OOB tank. I really would like a larger unit for the Italians, but I am not sure which to get.

You could use the German Tiger Tank and by brown flat primer paint to paint then use a matte clear coat to seal it. This could work, or do what GHG said. I hope this helps.
