About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

Challenge Day 3 - To Be Frank...

Yup, time to post my first entry here as it's been up on the Challenge blog for at least 24 hours.

My opening entry was this 28mm figure from Hasslefree, based on a character from a certain British television series.



Frank is a hopeless case - a drunk, druggie, petty thief and all that, but he is one of life's philosophers and loyal to his family and friends.

Some more pics:






Anyway, this opening salvo put me on the board with a whopping 5 points. Just 995 to reach my target!

My second entry has been posted here - they take me 30 points nearer to my target. If I keep going at this rate, I'll soon find myself raising my target - better slow down girl!

This evening I've continued with the rest of the civvies. I've got 4 almost completed, leaving the final touches on them and the other two to paint fully tomorrow if I want them in before I leave London.

    Hi Tamsin,

    please don't be "Franck", come as you are ;-)

    nice figure for a cool delirium, it will be cult in the following years for sure (even if we miss something with the french translation).

    have a nice christmas! (full of gifts).

    All the best .

    @ Whisk - glad to hear you've got past the cranks. Happy Christmas! :)

    @ Ross - cheers! Pressure? What pressure? ;)

    @ Neil - thanks! :)

    @ Michael A - it is a nice sculpt and a great character :)

    @ RMacedo - cheers! :)

    @ Gilles - I'm not sure how well it will translate into French; there is a lot of slang and some of the humour and situations are particularly British.
    Joyeux Noel! :)

    @ Gordon - thanks! :)

    @ Dannoc - cheers! There will be plenty more entries to come :)

    @ Petal - ta! The jeans took quite a bit of work to get looking right :)
