From TamsinP: A Flashy Ending (5 points)

Well then, Lady, Gentlemen (and Ray) the time has come for my final post of this year's Challenge. I must say it has been a blast and I've had great fun, even during the stressful time of the "vanishing pictures bug". There have been so many gorgeous entries to keep us going and some amusing (and downright bizarre) tales being told.

But on with my entry. As you may recall from my previous post, I did make a very good start on this figure before I sidetracked myself into painting those bits of WW2 scatter terrain (which earned me almost twice the points that my much more fiddly to paint buildings had...). Today, in between minion duties, watching my usual Friday videos on YouTube and cooking up a big batch of chilli (enough for six large portions - one in the fridge for tomorrow and five in the freezer) I set back to work on it and got all the highlights and metal details done.

So here you go, a well known fictional Victorian British officer:

The figure is from Studio Miniatures, but doesn't seem to be available at the moment.


Scoring for this is simple - one 28mm foot figure = 5 points.




Before I go, it is customary for me to do my "Votes of Thanks", to:

My fellow Challengers for all your wonderful posts, and for your comments.

Sidney for creating the map of Challenge Island which has kept us all so busy.

My fellow Cabin Crew, ermmm, Minions for all your hard work getting posts up and for not messing up Miles' Spreadsheet Of Doom (TM) too badly!

To our Sponsors for the great prizes that some of us will be receiving.

To Lady Sarah, our heroic aviator, for being such a good sport, for putting up with us and (not to forget) all your kind and encouraging comments.

And finally, it goes without saying, to Curt, our very own Lord of the Snow, for organising this once again; for recruiting a great team of Minions to look after everyone; for organising the sponsors and for managing the Snowlord's Peak challenges and rewards.

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!


Oh, and "Toodle-pip!

Ahh, Tamsin, what a great final post. Flash looks tremendous, what with his handlebar moustache and dashing uniform. I'm sure there will be more than a few Challengers popping over to Studio Miniatures to see if he's come back in stock.

I am sorely indebted to you, Tamsin, for all your help this year. Work commitments (and now the health crisis) have kept me hopping this year and it was often you who jumped into the breach to keep this crazy ship on course. I thank you very much. I look forward to having you either as a member of our flight crew or hard-charging participant for Challenge XI.

Now, I need a little bit to get my final entry done to close the show.
