The Pacific: A WWII project

[PaulRPetri]

I thought I would post some pictures of my latest and greatest project. Hah! Anyway more stuff from a Painting Hack!

Some 3d printed bunkers I had made up. Turned out pretty good.


With the top off.


Here is three out of the six I had made. Probably overkill.


All six in their box. Three of them will be used for my Vietnam War project which is underway.


Now few shots of my Marines based for the great war-game Crossfire.


Another group.


Another company of figures with some battalion extras.


Two half tracks, 3d printed bought off of Ebay, with pack howitzers on them for anti tank defense.


3d printed Amtraks also 3d printed bought off of Ebay. Very cheep.


The whole group.


I hope to have my Japanese forces photographed soon and posted. As always thanks for looking.

Just for info which I forgot to include in the original post is that most of the Marines are from Revell with a few Matchbox figures thrown in as original figures or the Mars recasts. The two anti tank guns are from Mars with Matchbox knock off figures included. All of the heavy machine guns are Mars and Matchbox figures.

That looks very nice Paul!

Are that aquarium plants that you used on the bunkers?

[PaulRPetri]

Yes I used the very handy aquarium plants. I have 48 CD's with jungle terrain on them with plastic palm trees and a host of aquarium plants. Saved lots of time and work for me.

[Peter]

Thought so! Gives good inspiration!

Interesting subject matter.

The ‘Pacific’ series combat sequences should provide plenty of inspiration .

I have dived some of the arenas wrecks.

The fighting was savage.

Best wishes,

Chris

[PaulRPetri]

Thanks Chris. Diving wrecks you are quite the Adventurer! Yes the Pacific series has inspiration but I really enjoyed E.B. Sledge's book with the old breed. His description of the fighting at the airport is riveting.

Awesome work Paul, especially on those bunkers!

[Santi Pérez]

Great deployment of US units, Paul. I especially love the nicely decorated bases.

I look forward to seeing the Japanese units.

Santi.

[PaulRPetri]

Thanks Javier and Santi. I hope to take some pictures of my Japanese forces tomorrow with some jungle DC's in the background!

[PaulRPetri]

As promised here are my Imperial Japanese forces also showing some of my CD jungle pieces in the background.



Showing 2 of my 3d printed tanks type 95's


Two anti tank guns








The whole mob with a glider and some Aliens control room in the background! A Bonus.


Thanks for having a look

Paul your projects are truly inspiring!You might consider introdducing lighting effects, such as reflections on water or shadows in the terrain;, which would add depth to your scenes.It wo uld also be interesting to see how different times of day affect the appearance of your units ;-)!

[Santi Pérez]

These Japanese have nothing to envy from previous Americans, Paul. They are also fantastic.

Santi.

[PaulRPetri]

Thanks so much Santi!!!

[Peter]

That is a very nice Japanese army Paul!
