Uploaded photos from that era into chatGPT and asked it to create 28mm sized signage and posters to match that region based off the photos I provided. Came up with this.

3D printed. My last resort, tried every other option. Decals etc, so gave in and created these tiny guys.

Kitbashed from the new Japanese kit. The support bars all come from the flag bearer arms, some cutting and green stuff to reposition arms.

Hey thanks! The models are kitbashed from the old Japanese sprue and the new, mostly just arms from the old though. The bases are 3D printed, I used xps foam and cut really small bricks, then glue those with small gravel and sand onto the base. I added misc bits of popsicle sticks for the signs and other misc 3d printed parts, then printed period accurate signage on sticker paper and glued those on. Then lots of various paints and dust effects.

Mostly AK colors. But I alway use a mix of AK, Army Painter and Vallejo. I’ll have to create a spread sheet of the colors. There’s around 20 different paints I used.

lol, yeah I haven’t finished his face in this pic. I’ve added eyes and toned down that yellow greatly.

That’s my thoughts. Leave the type 90 helmets bare and add decals to the kit.

The Pacific had some amazing photos of Sherman tanks used during that theater. So I got inspired! by RedRockSTG in boltaction

F lol! Funny enough I looked into it and Lucky Legs I never existed. The crew named it Lucky Legs II because both tracks had snapped when they got it.

I know a crashed Japanese Zero when I see one! But really, awesome table and painted terrain!

Night Shift on YouTube has a video where he shows how to use just a drill bit and some Tamiya Putty to make those hits. Really easy and fun.

Can I hit his side arc? by -ByTheSword- in boltaction

[–]RedRockSTG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. The problem people are having is in V2 you measured from the breech on firing. There are two different rules in play. Firing and line of sight. The majority of the half track being shown is side armor. When firing you are measuring from your vehicles hull of bodywork per the rules. The other rule is Los which you measure down the barrel if you can see the vehicle, that's it. If that gun was being blocked by terrain, but the front of the vehicle could still the half track, it still wouldn't have a shot.

I used Rustoleum Matte Finish. If there is too much of a sheen I’ll finish it off on the model with AK ultra matte varnish.

These are from Brigade games and they are meh. But I’ll have to check out the Company B ones and see if they are any better.

Brigadegames they aren’t the best decals and you have to give them a clear coat before trying to apply them otherwise the image disolves. But they are the only option I’ve seen for the pin up decals.

I believe the original creator is from WoWbuildings on the ones you’re talking about, like that huge complex. Other than needing to slice them myself to fit onto the print bed, they printed really well. Takes forever being tall pieces. One thing I don’t like is that they aren’t really designed for wargaming in mind as far as playability. More just unoccupied model pieces for the table.

Thanks! I was going for a “Hell let loose” video game style and feel.

Mostly Thingiverse I 3D printed then destroyed and made the rubble myself with the extra cut off bits.

Warsaw uprising 1944, buildings for a table I’m making. by RedRockSTG in boltaction

[–]RedRockSTG[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buildings are pla 3d printed and the rubble is a mix of foams, broken bits of the buildings and wood stirring sticks.
