Wooden Wars is truly a "follow my heart" kind of project, and the affirmation that there are others who can grok where this is going and enjoy it as well, is both humbling and inspiring. <br /><br />Thank you very much, and please keep posted for more!<br /><br />Cheers<br />ThomasFoss1066https://www.blogger.com/profile/05532255411392601854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630772564305914584.post-46635598068921925522012-07-05T04:46:35.065-07:002012-07-05T04:46:35.065-07:00Just discovered this and I'm amazed by the ded...Just discovered this and I'm amazed by the dedication and execution.

This Leads into lots of money for the initial pieces, and does not allow folks to paint them or color them or dip them to create their own armies. I am considering wee stickers of medals to award your troops though. And there is always the option of buying pre painted by me :)<br /><br />Cheers<br />ThomasFoss1066https://www.blogger.com/profile/05532255411392601854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630772564305914584.post-17238977701665464632012-07-03T07:55:47.009-07:002012-07-03T07:55:47.009-07:00Hmmm peel and stick decals for the truely lazy.......Hmmm peel and stick decals for the truely lazy............ ;)Alfrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442592658588328724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630772564305914584.post-50593805200466771062012-07-01T09:31:53.484-07:002012-07-01T09:31:53.484-07:00Blkthrn- I have tried craft type paints like the A...Blkthrn- I have tried craft type paints like the Americana brand from Micheal's arts and crafts. Its low pigment to vehicle ratio makes for a thin coverage. You can use it, and it works fine for a "wash" style, but if you want to paint more opaquely you have to cover several times. My opinion is you get much better results, or at least less work with better quality paints.Foss1066https://www.blogger.com/profile/05532255411392601854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630772564305914584.post-63255877095132930592012-06-30T09:52:08.209-07:002012-06-30T09:52:08.209-07:00Great post.
