Still plodding along with this set, halfway through the figures now.

Roger.

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.

Marc

Looks nice Roger " black velvet" Hmmm

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

Roger.

Thanks Ron, hmmm sounds good.

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

Don

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.

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.

Don

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.

Great work Roger, looking forward to see them all painted!

Cheers,
Marcel.

Thank you Marcel.... so am I

Roger.

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

Cheers

Thank you very much Martin.

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

Hello Roger,

I look fwd to you finishing this great looking set.

Rgds Victor

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.

Beautiful set!!

Thank you Christos.

Roger.

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.

Good Lord Rog impressive stuff
