I had a blast joining the challenge for the first time, it was a great source of motivation! I've loved posting and getting great comments from everyone, and I've spent hours just browsing through and admiring everyone's amazing work. I knocked out a ton of 1/700 scale sailing ships from the Black Seas range, and here they all are together for the first time.
While that photo is great and all, it was a great time to squeeze in some glamor shots. So here we go, for each nation:
 |
| The United States Navy |
 |
| The Royal Navy |
 |
| The Spanish |
 |
| The French |
 |
| Constellation vs a Barbay Xebec |
Again, this was an amazing time. Big thanks to Paul for reviewing all of my posts and for all of the generous extra points. It helped me reach the goal I set out the beginning of 200 points, and I was even able to get a few points more and ended up with 235. I'll see all of you in next year's challenge, but in the meantime, I do post all of work to my blog, The Space Dinosaur Miniatures, if anyone wants to continue seeing my Black Seas and other games work. See everyone then!
Congratulations Raul on a great challenge - you were definitely an exemplar of quality over quantity, and I throughly enjoyed all of your submissions. Ships to be very proud of indeed :-)
