Before I get to the photos I would like to echo all of the recognition that has been paid to Curt for the continued offering of such a wonderful opportunity to display and celebrate our hobby. Huge thanks also to all of the minions but for me particularly to Millsy and to Dave who covered for him on one posting period. Also a nod to the wonderful group who meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a chat and paint - it adds massively to my enjoyment and output.
Now to the colour and stats. Firstly a few 'grand' shots (which means you can see nothing closely).
| Neatly packed in their boxes - don't look like much do they? |
| Bit more impressive :) |
Over the course of the challenge I have painted the following units - these amount to 2951 infantry figures and 578 mounted figures.
And some closer shots of the various contingents. Firstly the Portuguese with the Cacadores in front of the Line infantry and cavalry behind.
Then the Spanish Infantry (Guards in front) followed by their cavalry and the British Cavalry at the rear.
And lastly the varied colours of the Confederation of the Rhine units with the French Cavalry at the rear.
I loved Paul's idea of a video so have given it a go and think it gets closer to many of the units and the colour of the Confederation.
This has been my third challenge - although the first was many years ago and I didn't make much of an impact. I've really enjoyed myself and have a real sense of achievement at getting these units painted - some of which have been in a box for close to 20 years. I still have a lot of 6mm Napoleonics to paint and refurbish - but this has greatly motivated me to keep going.
I've also put a reminder in my calendar for late November to make sure I do not miss the chance to sign up for the next installment.
Thanks everyone!

There's lot of painted minis and all for the same project. Congrats! See You in December!
