From RayR - Donnybrook: A Soldiers Farewell (40 Points)


Another entry from me today and yes it's more Donnybrook!!! These figures are from a set from Col Bills called 17thc Soldiers Farewell


Here's the original look of the figures, obviously they're ECW figures, but I did a bit of snipping, filing and glueing. Adding a bit of green stuff, making cuffs and elongating coats to change them from ECW to soldiers from the 1690's. I'm very pleased with how they turned out to be honest.




These Col Bill's figures should earn me 35 points plus any more that my Minion Lee wants to add for the conversion work?? Lee???
Nicely done sir ...even if it is more Donneybrook!!  Two entries in one day, it's almost like the good old days, back when you WON the Challenge (sandbags at the ready guys). Kudos for the conversion work on these. In fact, I'm throwing in an extra five points for the effort bringing this entry up to 40 points.

    Well done Ray - don't let the stingy minions grind you down, it was worth it...

    Besides, likely you are accumulating a last-minute, multi-six-figure-point sandbag entry...

    So the reports of two truckloads of builder's sand and hessian bags being delivered to Ray's house in the dead of night were not entirely without foundation...

    Excellent work on the conversions, and the you've captured the emotional tone splendidly as well. I can almost hear the fifes and drums in the background, calling the menfolk away...
