Awesome Job! Absolutely Beautiful. By far my favorite nation you've painted. I really dig that Panzer Gray. Yet one of the easiest, yet the most gorgeous!
Sired.....I love your Africa Corp.....love the rich mustard paint you used. Its a shame you felt that you had to remove it from play. I feel your pain....!
Excellent work! I know what you mean about having painted pieces that are no longer in play. I have so many of them. I constantly try to improve the set with better pieces like the surf boards, lol. That Iron cross metal is awesome. Incredible my friend, well done!
I have a question about the game. so, if you add light tanks, tank destroyers. do they have their separate way of combat? Meaning that a heavy tank has to roll a 4 for defending and attacking it rolls a 4, unlike the regular tank. so back to my question. does more add on's effect the gameplay?
Think I forgot to mention in one of your last vids talking about the warping or slight bending of the carriers you got from HBG. Have you tried the boiling/hot water trick. Plastic type material when placed in hot water should reform back to it's original shape. So hopefully that would fix the warping issue of the carriers.
Love your work Siredblood! I too painted Africa Korp and rarely use it because folks were forgetting it was Germany. Like the inclusion of the mechs from Battle of the Bulge. Went to HBG to buy some at it was going to be $40 for 6 of US and 6 Germany, so bought the entire game on eBay for $70. Win!
I really like your idea of the Afrika Corps. It’s a shame that they aren’t being used. I think I’ll make an Afrika Corps for my game/players as they’re really good at identifying the pieces on the board.
Do you still do painting jobs cause i am looking at having an entire set for Global War 1936-1945 Regular, and Expansion pieces painted? I am specifically looking for you to do this since your work is absolutely amazing.
hey man. first off, just discovered your channel today and I recently got addicted to Axis and Allies so I'm SUPER interested in painting my units. I was just curious as to how you get the little Nazi flags on your planes and tanks. same with the other national symbols on other vehicles?
siredblood so I got some decals from HBG, but I'm having some problems. this may sound like a dumb question, but how do you get the decals off of the sheet of paper?
Beaut!!! Hey SB, Afrika Korps infantry or maybe confusing but not the aircraft or the tank Cinemax or the artillery frankly you can keep those in your games my opinion or at a minimum the aircraft
Great work! I wouldn't wanna to fly with someone who had trouble telling those aircraft apart, those planes are obviously the bad guys...... I've been flyin' the hell outta "IL-2 Sturmovik" on Xbox lately.....yesterday I got drunk and chased a Me109 halfway across northern France. He was good, but I finally shot him down.... and then had to run outside and throw up from spinning so much whilst drunk. Good times.
What game? I bought an xbox 1 like 2 years ago... never played anything really on it, I got lego hbbbit to play with Wendy... that lasted a few days... now it just collects dust lol.
The game's called "Il-2 Birds of Prey"..... it's on the old Xbox 360, our next gen console is a PS4. There is a whole excellent series of "IL-2 Sturmovik" games, and even though it's named after the Soviet ground attack plane you can fly a variety of aircraft, I used a British Spitfire to shoot down that jerry yesterday. Flight simulators are about the only video games I dig, the FAA won't let me drink and fly, much less dogfight. Everything else I either can do or have done in real life.

I painted my British Red, I know they didnt fight in red in ww2, but its such a british color, and tradition to it.
I love these A&A painted pieces videos. It's like watching Bob Ross paint a picture. The pieces look amazing, good jod sired👌
Absolutely beautiful! Great work!!!
Thanks for sharing your perspective on accessibility! It is really important folks with different abilities can still take part in the game!
Great paint and decal work! I liked the Afrika Corps as well. 👍
Sired.....I love your Africa Corp.....love the rich mustard paint you used. Its a shame you felt that you had to remove it from play. I feel your pain....!

Excellent painting skills! Love your dedication 2 z A&A!
Thanks brother!

Oh? Nice one, yeah, those buggers were 4 bucks each I think... I should have went your route and bought the game lol

Does the magnetic tape work under the sticker?

The issue is with my event coming up, I won’t have time till after.
i have all the time in the world i will be doing this in parts
Hi Sired Blood - I am curious how you constructed the boxes. Are they balsa wood? What is the material behind the inlaid metal?
Mdf
hey man. first off, just discovered your channel today and I recently got addicted to Axis and Allies so I'm SUPER interested in painting my units. I was just curious as to how you get the little Nazi flags on your planes and tanks. same with the other national symbols on other vehicles?
I ordered decals from Historical Board Gaming
siredblood awesome! I just bought some. thanks man you've been a huge inspiration and help!
Be careful with numbers/letters, they are NO fun lol
siredblood so I got some decals from HBG, but I'm having some problems. this may sound like a dumb question, but how do you get the decals off of the sheet of paper?
soak em' in water for a few seconds
Hey man, do too physical disabilities I honestly can't do anything like. Is there anyway I could persuade you to make some more and sell them to me?
Im sure we can arrange something, what units are you looking for?
Where is battleship Bismarck
Why the flip did I say this four years ago!! Am I stupid, probably because I have Autism
Really amazing. I love it
for your Afrika Corp... just glue a Germany rondel under them.
Your Africa Korp is my favorite, lol. So sad they are retired.
On the first game with them, I remember taking a few planes across the med.... they left Gray..... landed DAK lol
That is funny! I'm like you I don't know how they can't tell the difference, lol.
I have a few guys, REALLY into proper units, where they will only use the navy painted planes on the carriers!
That's cool as long as each person knows that, then it will work, lol.
Beaut!!! Hey SB, Afrika Korps infantry or maybe confusing but not the aircraft or the tank Cinemax or the artillery frankly you can keep those in your games my opinion or at a minimum the aircraft
How did you paint the numbers so good?
Decals :)
How do you get the stickers off the paper?
The decals form HBG? ... Water, if you mean other, lmk.

Very nice paint SB. At this moment I staredt painting all the pieces. The decals that you use ... where can I order them?
Historical Board Gaming..... they make all the difference, they are cheap too... 3bucks for a pack
Ditto John!
I'm about to start my Africa Korp in couple of months, but I'm going to use mine, lol.
