Alex's Challenge - Two Little Ones

So here's my crowning message. So I'll write more briefly. These are all my miniatures painted during the Challenge.



This is me - this is an important and a little pathetic.



This - my youngest daughter, I gave the time that would be spent on painting the planned but not made miniatures. I do not regret it.


This is - a terrible secret of why I paint so much - I paint with two hands, and taught me that my eldest daughter.



Thank you all, it was a very interesting and positive experience.

  1. Alex, I think you missed your calling as a border sentry. ;) I love the pics of your daughters. Your two-fisted Donatello is going to put you through your paces.

    You produced an amazing amount of work Mr. S. Your Italian Wars entries really helped to keep me steaming along with my own work. Well done sir!

  3. Great result, Alex, a terrific turnout of troops. I especially liked that Risk Taker entry with the tumbling dice - a real masterpiece!

    And speaking as a recent grandfather, I can see that your daughters must have you wrapped around their little fingers. They are adorable!

  12. Amazing output Alex. I'm with Curt on the Italian wars stuff, it kept me plugging away early on in the challenge. Enjoy the girls when you can, soon they'll be walking out the door and you be wondering when the hell THAT happened.
