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.

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!
Well done Victor nice start, look really great
ReplyDeleteexcellent
ReplyDeleteGreat entry Victor. Welcome along
ReplyDeleteThank 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.
ReplyDeleteGood to see some 10mmm stuff in the running, and welcome to the Challenge.
ReplyDeleteWelcome on board and very nice first entry!
ReplyDeleteVery nice work. 10mm, makes my eyes hurt thinking about painting that scale!
ReplyDeleteA superb first submission - nothing looks more impressive to me than giant 6mm armies arrayed across a table
ReplyDeleteNice work, lovely period, great little chaps!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Nice work the massed units this scale allows look awesome.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff, they look the part.
ReplyDeleteNice start to your first Challenge Victor :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome aboard Victor. It's nice to see more Lace Wars era figures. I don't have the eyes for those tiny figs, but your two regiments look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWelcome aboard Victor! Great to see some 10mm WSS stuff being done by someone else. I did some a couple of Challenges back and you're making we want to get back into it. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteGreat detail on such teeny tiny figures!
ReplyDeleteThe "first" world war and my favorite read! I really like what you done with the wee lads and look forward to their reinforcements and adversaries! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have never seen this range! How cool!
ReplyDeleteWelcome! And with such a fine first entry I am looking forward to whatever you show us next!
