From PeterB - First Entry: 6mm Napoleonic Russians (54 points)


Well, I finally managed to get some time to set up my camera and get some photo's of my first entry.  These are 6mm Napoleonic Russian heavy artillery from Baccus (2x12pdr Cannons and 1x10pdr Howitzer per battery).  I actually managed to complete these just after Christmas so I'm well into the next block of figures (light batteries and horse batteries) and these should be ready over the weekend.  I think this gives me 54 points and gets me off the mark.


My plan now is to continue with the 6mm Napoleonic figures until mid February and then switch to 28mm for the remainder of the competition.

I'll post a full description of these on my blog in a day or two.


From Curt:

 There was a bit of a stutter-step on the posting of this entry but we're up and running now. :)

 Great job Peter! It's nice to see another Challenger working in 6mm. These look very good and I especially like your basework (which I often think is critical in these smaller scales). What rules system are you using them for?

 AND...Welcome to the Challenge!

    Welcome to the challenge with your first entry. I have always admired 6mm figure painters and these are terrific.

    I love the bases for these. The ability to make dioramas and the sheer mass you can get with this scale are great.
