MichaelD - The Fruits of my Labors

 Once again I feel very grateful to Curt and everybody for maintaining this wonderful Challenge. So many fantastic painters and supportive friends. Thank you. This year I think I completed a personal best in terms of points, although I'm disappointed I wasn't able to get my act together to participate in the theme challenges. I bought a few miniautres for it, but then got so caught up in my main plan that I never really worked them in. Next time. Anyhow here are the group shots:



I had two big game-changing experiences over the past 3 months. The first is thanks to PaulSS, who suggested (on Facebook) using Trello for painting projects:


The other was painting 10mm. I always had middling success with 15mm, but really enjoyed speeding through my Union ACW figures. Not only am I looking forward to getting division-sized battles on a reasonable sized surface (soon!), but look at this:


I can probably fit a whole side in one cigar box!


Thanks again to everyone for all the support and inspiration!

  1. Brilliant stuff Michael. I really enjoyed your entries, especially the Italian Wars figures, though I can understand your love of 10mm - it's such a great scale to both work and game in. I'm also chuffed to see another embrace the good old cigar box for figure storage! :) Until next year!

  5. Loved watching your 10mm work.. inspiring as it just feels like a slog for me sadly. And completely forgot about trello! Damn.. something for the toolbox again for the future!
