From EdwardG: Some more Swiss and a BEAR! (40pts)

 Hej all,

Happy New Year!! 

Hope everyone had a good slide into 2025! Looking at some of the minis already painted for the challenge has been inspirational as it always is. You lot are just incredible :)

Another small Swiss based entry from me today. Not much more to say, except that these are all Perry metals. I really prefer metal minis to plastic, but wallet and weight don't allow me to always indulge. Lucky for me these were a gift from a very dear friend!

Hope you like them! 




Points:

7 x 28mm foot = 35pts

1 x 28mm bear = 5pts

Total = 40pts 

(Scored the bear as a horse/foot figure, seemed about right!)

TTFN! Hope to see you all next week :D

Nice Alpine entry, Ed!. I like how you tied them all together with their green and yellow livery. The bear looks great! I am with you on the metal versus plastic; although lugging metal figures around can be quite hard, I like the heft of the figures and they are often just a little more austere in their design. 

That's 40 points for you!

  1. Real unusual mix of figure, including bagpipes and a bear. As one of the figures has the horn could you claim the lust bonus? ;)

  3. Wonderful group. I’m guessing the bear is angry about the pipes.

  5. Wonderful work Ed. I'm with you on the metals, they just have that something that makes them a bit more pleasurable to collect and paint.
