I have two 28mm figures from Front Rank to serve as both my balloon ticket and my entry fee. I don't have a whole bunch to say about these. I really like Front Rank's figures, they paint up really nicely, and I had fun doing picture searches of Reynolds and Gainsborough portraits doing research on them.

| I intended these to be any generic Europeans. However my better half (who has costume knowledge) informed me that the gold was more likely to be found on the French. |

| Funny perspective here. It looks like M. is down on one knee from this angle. |

| Another stop on my island tour. |

| And another merit badge for my sash |
 |
| I offer the above proof that my wife and I had a glass of prosecco last night in honour of the balloon ride, and because it was dang cold. Unlike others in the Challenge I know where the champagne flutes are kept. |
Points wise I believe this scores as
- 2 28mm foot figures = 10 points
- Curtgeld bonus =25 points
- Sarah's Balloon Service =30 points
- Bonus for prosecco =5 points
- Total 70 points
Two other notes. I will leave it to Curt to choose the short straw to see who gets these figures. Also I would like balloon transport to Sanders' Sanddunes please.
That's a great vignette to pay your fare for the balloon ride and your entry fee for the Challenge.

Great stuff Peter. Front Rank really do nice figures, don't they? I agree, they are lots of fun to paint.

DeleteI love vignettes and yours in no exception.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have fun posing thes little scenes.
DeleteThat is a lovely little vignette, Peter, well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Curt.
DeleteOoh, so lovely, you really have captured the lush look of a Gainsborough portrait.
ReplyDeleteProsecco, to me, tastes of a light summers breeze, so perfecly appropriate to drink during this Extreme Cold Weather Alert we Canadians are suffering through.

Thanks very much Sarah, I had fun painting these. We’ve used mother nature’s fridge to cool our Prosecco this winter.
DeleteVery nice work Peter! Really like the basing and the way your little diorama tells a story.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much
DeleteVery nice work on the figures and flora!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barks. Flora is just tufts but help obscure what’s underneath!.
