I wish I could take credit for this...

You know, for a minute or two I was prepared to post these pictures and say "Look what I just finished painting!".  But then I realized that I just couldn't do that; it wouldn't be right (and my wife reads my blog).

Take a look at what she just finished painting!  Pretty darn good!  I asked if I could keep them for myself and the answer was "NO".

Anyway, here they are:  T-70's, T-34's, KV-1s', and Zis-5 Trucks.  Oh... and there are a few photos of some 1/2400 Carriers I finished painting:  IJN Shoho and USN CV-10 Yorktown.

Here are a few 1/2400 ships painted by the Mrs.  Her first Naval painting :)

GHQ 1/2400 German Graf Zeppelin, Bismarck, Scharnhorst, and Prinz Eugen

Hi All...  I wanted to share some 1/2400 ships that I recently finished.

Also, I'm working on some new naval terrain for myself.  I apologize for the poor color in the photos, but hopefully it gives you a little sneak peak.  It's based on hex tiles.

Let me know what you think :)

Royal Navy Aircraft Carriers

I'd like to share some Royal Navy Aircraft Carriers that I recently completed:  HMS Eagle, Hermes, Furious, Glorious, and Illustrious.

Let me know what you think :)  Now...  here's a dump of photos.

Some 1/2400 Aircraft Carriers and 1/285th Tanks

It's been a long while since I've painted anything...  so here are a few recently completed Aircraft Carriers.  These are GHQ 1/2400 and they make use of my line of deck decals.

Let's start with the Ark Royal...  pretty fancy looking ship! 

The Ark Royal helped track down the Bismarck in May 1941.

Only to be sunk by a U-Boat torpedo in November that year.

Here is the Italian Carrier Aquila.

She was never completed and eventually scrapped in the early 50's.  So this deck pattern is purely speculation :)

The Imperial Japanese Navy's first carrier was the "Hosho".

And she actually survived the War.  Although due to her outdated design, she really didn't see much action.

And when you compare her to the Ark Royal and Aquila...  you can see she was a pretty small Carrier.

Now...  the real show begins.  If you saw my post from a few weeks ago, you noticed that my wife can paint miniatures; infantry in particular.  This past week she gave some Soviet and German armor a try...  and they turned out awesome!

Panther D...

Panther A and D's...

Same vehicles from a slightly lower angle.

Soviet T-34/85's...

At a lower angle.

I have to say that I am very impressed with my wife's abilities.  She's interested in painting some terrain (buildings), Aircraft, and even 1/2400 Naval Vessels; so more photos will be coming soon!

Thanks for visiting!

Carrier Deck Decals are available!

As many of you are aware, I am in the middle of moving to a new house...  I am also busier than I've ever been at work and at home.  As a result, I haven't produced any new decals or sold existing ones in several months.

However, they are available through a fellow naval miniatures enthusiast - Brad Anderson.  Brad has rights to produce my decals and uses the same process and materials.  He's also a great person to work with!  If you're interested in purchasing the WW2Central line of WW2 Carrier Decals, I highly recommend purchasing from Brad.

He has an eBay store setup with the full line of decals:

Enjoy!

Aircraft Carrier Decal Tutorial

GHQ was kind enough to post this tutorial and link to my decal online store.  This tutorial will show you a very easy way to get great results.  I typically airbrush and highlight, but for those wanting a quicker paint job, this isn't too bad!  Enjoy!
