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.

From PaulSS - Iron Brigade Command (27 points)
One thing our recent Longstreet campaign has taught me is that you can probably never have enough command stands, so when I made a recent order to Perry Miniatures I added a couple of extra frames of Union command.
As one of the units in the campaign is the 2nd Wisconsin I modelled these all with Hardee Hats from the command sprue.
There was a single infantryman left over from the recent box I had painted so he had some paint slapped on at the same time as these four.
Flags as usual are from https://www.warflag.com
Five 28mm foot and a couple of flags should add 27pts to my total.

Your ACW collection is really building up this Challenge Paul! And this Command stand is another lovely addition. 27 points it is!

Nice figures Paul, I like the hats and your flags are great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter
DeleteGreat work Paul. I have to say, the results you get from the flags are really something else. I associate Warflag with a "basic" printout, and I struggle to make it look the part. These really look sharp...do you use any tricks there?
ReplyDeleteCheers Greg.
DeleteI just have them printed out at the local office depot and stick them on with 'tacky glue' once dry I cut some detail into the fringe and then paint the edges with bronze then highlight again with a touch of gold.
It's not a huge amount of effort, but I think it goes a long way.
Lovely looking command stand and flags!
