Hi All,

Greetings from deepest, darkest, Dartmoor

Have just received my first batch of 7YW minis and am very impressed! wonderful sculpts, full of character and very easy to paint, which is a bonus for me as I am slower than a very slow thing when it comes to getting stuff finished...

Here is a couple of pics of my first battalion, IR Fürst Joseph von und zu Reichenberg... Yep, it's for a small imagi-nations thing I've got in mind... go gentle on me!!

Best wishes,

Stu.

Greetings Stu, welcome to the forum.

Those look great!

"slower than a very slow thing when it comes to getting stuff finished..." - you and me both

What ho, Mr 777.

Nowt wrong with an imagi-nation - 'specially when so well painted.

Fine looking unit, Stu.
Welcome to the forum and to the one true scale.

Great work Stu, and hello and welcome!

Thank you Gentlemen, good to be here  

This is my first foray into 10mm, I've dabbled in most other scales but always seem to be unable to complete things, mainly because I get too ambitious, so this is going to be a small project, just a few units per side, based upon the little known 'War of the Great Pumpkin' caused by the Prince-Abbot of St. Hildaburger half-inching the Prince of Reichenburg's prize specimen ...  

Here's a couple more pics...

Those are really top!

Welcome

Just show my ignorance on the geography of England is Dartmoor near Hardwood territory?

Excellent first foray into a wonderful period. I particularly like your flags.

As I understand it Nick is slightly further north near Exmoor.

Welcome on board Stu and great work on your SYW/Imagi-Nations figures . Mr Harwood is based in Dunster I believe.

Thank you Leman, I design my own in Photoshop and just print them out on bog-standard paper, but they seem to work ok...

Welcome Stu,

Glad to see you are already honing your skills for next year's painting competition!   Really lovely painting, troops and flags both.

I look forward to seeing this little project develop.

Welcome, Stu. Pendraken's SYW is a very nice range and you're certainly doing it justice! 

Like the flags, too.

Thanks Mollinary, hadn't considered the painting competition, but I might take a punt  I'm trying to keep this to reasonable proportions and not get carried away... hopefully I should get it done... I just have to make sure I paint everything I have before I buy more minis!!!

Thank you Westmarcher  It is a beautiful range and very easy on the eye and hand! I'm just debating whether to exaggerate the flagpoles on the standard bearers, so my flags can be larger, not historically correct, but I do like colourful drapery!! 

Nicely done sir

Welcome!  Really liking your work so far.
