From VictorC: 10mm Old Glory War of the Spanish Succession Infantry (120 points)

Well this is my first time participating in the challenge and very first submission. I was able to complete two battalions of French figures. Each 4 stand unit has 60 figures in it.  The figures are painted with acrylics and the flags are hand painted as well.  The two units below are the Maulrevier and Schomberg.  I was rather happy with myself as I painted these in two days. Usually it takes about 2 weeks.

Enjoy the photos:

Welcome to the Challenge, Victor!

It's been a few years since we've had any War of the Spanish Succession figures grace the blog, so this is a bit of a treat. 

Great work and kudos to you on the hand-painted flags (though it looks like you may have been forced down that path with them being cast-on). One thing I like about Old Glory is that their infantry are usually mounted on strips, thereby reducing the fiddliness of painting and basing them. How many units do you have targeted for the Challenge, Victor? If you keep cracking on like this you'll be set up quite nicely. 

120 points is a tidy first volley for your Challenge debut - well done and, again, welcome aboard!

  3. Thank you! I currently have 6 units primed and ready for paint. I also have some 28mm figures I'm working on as well. I will probably add another 6 units of the WSS figures before March.
