So, I've got a week off work, which will hopefully mean that the output will speed up. Today, I managed to get the skirmishers for my ACW Sharp Practice completed. These have been painted in the same manner as the rest of the forces that I have been doing, although this time they get a skirmish base, and there are fewer of them.
With these, I have finished the recommended starter force. I've also added a temporary flag to the colour party that I painted previously.
With this, I've finished the basic force. Next up on the table are some artillery, along with a few more infantry units. One of these will have that something special that I struggled to get. I'm also planning on adding at least one unit of cavalry. As these are able to be fielded either mounted or not, I've put in the order for some of the Perry dismounted cavalry, and the horse holders. Finally, I need to build a few deployment points.
So this is 6x28mm models, for 30 points I think.

Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.
