But anyway, it’s not a competition and someone has to go next.


You're right, it's not! :)

I rather like him. Reminds me of the chap the evil Captain Simcoe enrols in the Rangers in 'Turn' (if you've watched that... )

I've got one of Lance's sculpts next in line myself... Although at this rate, he may not make it into the club...  :o

Halfway through series 3 on Amazon Prime now. Starts slowly, gets much better as it goes along. Rogers' Rangers (and a rascally Robert Rogers) feature largely, so you might enjoy it  :)

Love your work Nick!

Fantastic work there, especially when seen next to the 28mm figure.

Here is my entry. No. 63

It´s a long and sad story behind this miniature.
I bought it years ago. It had to live a rough life downstairs in the basement between all those old cardboard boxes filled with miniatures. When you guys brought up this new painting club I remembered this Foundry miniature immediately.

What a good opportunity to dress him properly in paint  and spoil him with a fine matt varnish. I painted so quickly with joy while listening to a Stephen King audio book and he could have made it into the top ten of first painted minis.

But the Mighty Camera God who cursed me with a poor photographing talent had other plans.

The same plans that do not allow me to compete with others on the LPL or to share any battle reports with you, because the picture quality is so poor  :-[ The same God who blessed you all with plenty and me with none.... Halleluja...

Anyway... If you take a magnifying glass you can see how skillful this little fencer is painted but I can not share all his beauty with you because although I shot zillions of pictures on white paper, infront a forrest, infront a house, with light, with headlights, no light the results were always poor. And after a hard weeks work I decided to put on this one because thats the best I can effort.... Iam so sorry....but I hope you show mercy cuz I want this beautiful little badge so much.

So here he is one of Lord Hawkmoore`s Gentlemen Adventurer.
