Ok people... after seeing these thediceanddeck.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=flames&action=display&thread=1321&page=1 on the CMoN site I was wondering what sort of talent we had amongs our FoW players.

Soooo... here's the challenge.

To paint a single FoW 15mm miniature to the best of your ability.

The criteria are as follows.

Model
A single FoW footslogger miniature.
Base
GeeDubb 25mm round base (preferably scenic)
Entry fee
None
Prize
Bragging rights
End date
18th of June (two weeks from now)

Winner to be decided by pulic poll!!!

Anyone wishing to participate, but not actually owning any figures may borrow them from me at the store.

Oh, did I mention I'm EVIL....

"2..4..6..8..tiptoe, sneak, and infiltrate, yaaaaaay, recce!

Two essential strategies for success.

1) Never reveal all you know
2)

It's all fun n' games till someone loses an eye!
Then it's fun n' games without depth perception... =)

I am most definitely in!

The 15mm FoW stylings will allow for some really fast and furious painting challenges. I have two ideas of who I would like to paint; both of them Russian....

And if anyone at GG wants to enter but does not have any models I will have a few spare left over.

Excellent. I know exactly who i'll be painting:

soviet kommisar vasilevsky

soviet mladshi leytenant v g zaytsev

Obviously I'll only be painting the characters out of the two units with a small scenic base for each and now I have the wet pallette cranking my layers should be very smooth indeed.

Hmmm, how's a four week extension sound. I've been too busy to start one myself ;D

I have a few guys who also want to give 15mm a go but would like to do another genre. Maybe next time make it any 15mm miniature. May also see the pup entering
