Its a great task to finish a set. But when I see the results on black velvet and in a nice frame.
Oh, then i go trough my knees.
Keep painting Roger, its worth all the time.

Looks nice Roger " black velvet" Hmmm

 

[billyturnip]

Thanks for the encouragement Marc, I feel much more confident I'm actually going to finish this now I have got halfway.

Roger.

 

[billyturnip]

Thanks Ron, hmmm sounds good.

 

[Don]

Looks very good Roger, very impressed with your work on this set.
Can you tell us a little about the complete group?

Don

 

[billyturnip]

Thank you Don.
It's a 30mm set by Scholtz based on Frederick the Greats speech to his Generals before the battle of Leuthen 1757. It is known as the Parchwitz address. Further info here http://personal.ashland.edu/~jmoser1/leuthen.htm and here, http://www.britishbattles.com/frederick/battle-leuthen.htm

The Generals are all named on the bases + 5 unnamed Staff Officers and ADC's. When I've finished I'll post all the individuals names.

Roger.

 

[Don]

Roger, even more impressed now I know they are 30mm. Lovely work and I look forward to seeing your complete set. Bet it will be good.

Thanks again Don, it's a long hard road but hopefully it will be worth it.
Here's the link to them on the Berliner Zinnfiguren site if anyone else is daft enough to want to paint a set.

Cheers,
Marcel.

 

[billyturnip]

Thank you Marcel.... so am I

Roger.

 

[Martin Antonenko]

I like what I see, Roger. Well done - as ever...!

Cheers

 

[billyturnip]

Thank you very much Martin.

 

[Dan Morton]

Roger, you aren't daft to want to paint the entire set...a wee bit, just mildly and enjoyably whacked, but not daft. At least not yet.

Beautiful job - some close-ups maybe?

All the best,
Dan

 

[blaster]

Hello Roger,

I look fwd to you finishing this great looking set.

Rgds Victor

 

[billyturnip]

Thanks Dan, I'll post some close ups with the names when the set is finished. The time that would take I could have painted another half dozen of the figures.

Thank you Victor and thank you for the encouragement.

Roger.

 

[Christos]

Beautiful set!!

 

[billyturnip]

Thank you Christos.

Roger.

 

[billyturnip]

Still working away at this one along with everything else.
It's not easy to photograph but when it's finished I'll spend more time on the photography including close-ups

Roger.
