Recent miscellany for the Painting Challenge

Over the past few weeks I've been steadily completing entries for the Chambers of Challenge XI for the Painting Challenge, Eureka Miniatures have provided a rich vein of suitable vinettes.


The first entry is a half of the Egg Collecting set that I entered for "The Hatchery"


It's a great set but strangely the chaps at Eureka have no images on their site for it so it was a "buy blind and hope", thankfully I was not upset with it.


The second part of the Egg Collecting set was purposed for "The Guardroom" location


This "owd battleaxe" is certainly not going to be relinquishing her produce to the common soldiery.


This pair of armourers from the Wheelwright & sword sharpener set made a great pair of armourers for "The Armoury"


I've still got the wheelwright to get painted at a later juncture, but he probably is not a good fit for any of the locations available.


Although they are from the earlier French Revolutionary Wars range, I'm not so fussy that they will not fit in my 1815 collection.


Finally, not a Eureka model, but a Paul Hicks sculpt of chum Drew's dad for "The Ancestors" location.


I painted another one of these a couple of years ago, but this time I did him in a Knights of Columbus livery.


Drew can have this one to add to his collection.

    1. Thank you Jonathan.
      I do like the grinding wheel too, many Sharpe novels involve him finding a cavalry armourer.

  7. Scrivs,
    Those are great vignettes and will add some great character to a tabletop.
