Iron Man II 24-Hour Charity Painting Marathon: The results

[greatescapegames]

Please support this great cause by donating and follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/events/555132547876509/. Join the event whether you can attend or if you'll join in from home, and please share.

We're running a 24-hour painting marathon for Save the Children. Please check out this great charity's work - http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/about-us/what-we-do. Our target is for a group of us to paint 48 British WWII soldiers and sell them off to raise some cash, plus individuals will be painting their own miniature figures for sponsorship pledges. If we can raise £500 GBP, we can really help. I have set it up through JustGiving so that there is no need to handle money, and so that Save the Children can gain through GiftAid (U.K. taxpayers), meaning that an extra 25% on top of what you donate will go to the charity.

So, get over to the forum and get yourself down to the event. If you cannot make it, pledge to get your own project completed at home, and send your donation in via the JustGiving page: http://www.justgiving.com/ironmanII.

Thanks to Firestorm Games for providing the venue, and to Great Escape Games for donating the figures.
And for those of you that find your hobby time squeezed by a significant other, what better excuse to spend a whole day painting than to raise money for a good cause!

So please dig deep and donate now!

UPDATE

We have had a magnificent offer from Mike Hobbs - super painter, nutty gamer, one of the developers for Saga and M&T and all round nice guy - who will be painting a 4pt  Rus warband donated by Gripping Beast. Tanks Mike and thanks to Darren and Andy at the Beast. The resultant warband will join our British platoon for sale for the charity.
