500 posts = Mega Blog Giveaway

No1 Hasslefree - Michelle & Pals

Well my 500th post has been and gone, infact No 500 was the collection of Salute photos that
 I posted last week. 
And as a seem to win my fair share of Blog Giveaway's (I'm sure some of you will agree??)
Talking of which here's my latest win from Nate over at 
Natholeon's Empire
Cheers Nate!!

I thought it was about time I did another, since my last was back in 2013. Now some of these bits and bobs were going on ebay, but I thought I'd share them with you lovely lot!!!

There are 18 items to giveaway and you can enter and try to win as many as you want.

To enter all you have to do is....

1. Be a Follower of this Blog.
2. Comment as to which items you'd like to win.
3. Also in your comment I'd like a link to one of your favourite posts from my
 blog (idea nicked from Loki's blog)
4. If you want to pimp the Giveaway on your own blog, let me know after you've done it and I'll add your name in twice for each item you want to win.
5. Closing date is Friday 15th May at 12 o'clock.
 Winners will be drawn from random on the weekend of the 16th/17th May.
And you can enter from anywhere in the world!

    Hoi Ray,

    First of: congrats on reaching the fabulous Five OO, quite an achievement! You really want me to choose one post I like best? I'd rather tell you what I like so much about your blog in it's entirety.
    - First the tales about all the Rejects characters; it really feels like we get to know you all, well a bit at least...
    - The humour with which you write your posts is very funny and agrees with me a lot. The bickering to and fro with Anne and Fran, back in the Good Ole Days is dearly missed and makes your blog so great.
    - Your comments and replies on this blog (and on my own at that) is much appreciated as well!
    - last but certainly not least I like the way in which you provide background information, flags and colourschemes for the units you've painted through the years.

    If I get picked you can choose whatever prize you want I have no preference.
    Now on to the next 500 posts!

    Cheers Sander

    Congrats Ray. I think my favourite blog post of yours has to be a joint one with Fran, where you asked the 10 questions. I still think about some of those questions and wonder if you will do another 10 questions. I hope you do

    I will not pimp your blog! Not that I do not like you or indeed you blog but I am sure that anyone who looks at my blog must already look here.

    Should I win anything I will suggest;

    no5,no6 or no7

    As all being something I can or will use.
    Cheers Mate.

    Many congrats, Ray and what a great idea for your giveaway prizes.

    If I win I'd like any of 1, 4, 5, 9, 10 or 14.

    My favourite post of yours was this one -
    http://onelover-ray.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/20-questions-for-reject-ray.html
    where you and Fran answered twenty questions. It inspired me to answer them and it was loads of fun to do. I'd like to re-answer the questions at some point as quite a few answers will change.

    All the best.

    Wow, what a great give away! Congrats on the milestone, and congrats on winning the prize. People may shout at you winning lots of stuff, but how can they complain when you pay it forward in such a generous manner.

    My favourite post on your blog is any where you show pics of shows, as I'm not able to make any, at least on your side of the Atlantic, so keep em coming!

    If you'd be so kind as to put me down for the following:

    Please add my name into the hat for the give away. I am interested in the 15mm Peter Pig WWII bonanza and the Foundry cuirassier.

    Pick only one favorite post? In the US, a potato chip ("crisps" to you) manufacturer advertised that "nobody could eat just one." Well, same applies with your posts. How could anyone chose only one?

    Among my favorites are your series of Russo-Japanese War BatReps with this one,

    There are lots of interesting articles to read, lots of nice minis from all those shows, but I've chosen the most useful for me: the Indian Longhouse.
    http://onelover-ray.blogspot.hu/2011/04/how-to-build-no1-fiw-indian-longhouses.html
    I generally like to read modelling articles to see how the others build their pieces.
    I would be happy for all of them but I'd be most interested in:
    01, 04, 05, 06, 09, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17,
    Thank you for the giveaway!

    Wow, a heck of an accomplished, major congrats on the milestone.

    I'm torn as to which post to pic, I remember seeing your Dr who and Amy pond paintjobs fondly. http://onelover-ray.blogspot.com/search/label/Dr%20Who but also I enjoyed the Dredd paints not too long ago http://onelover-ray.blogspot.com/search/label/Judge%20Dredd Hope you got him out from behind the table.



    I wouldn't mind being entered to win any of 3,8,9,10,or 14 Thanks for the opportunity.

    Congrats. What an awesome giveaway. I would not mind any of the prizes but the Peter Pig stuff is fantastic.

    My favorite posts have to be the small canned histories that you do behind the units that you paint. Those are gems. They provide always interesting and accompanied by those wonderful miniatures you paint.

    Hello! I'd first like to congratulate you for your 500th :)
    I like your minis, and probably the colorful Jacobite Militia. http://onelover-ray.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/rp-no-144-nyw-jacobite-militia.html
    I like that they are uniform, but not identical.
    For the giveaway - is it possible to enter for all of them? It's the painting I enjoy, and if I could win any of them, it would give me an opportunity to test my skills.

    Well I think that my favourite post so far ( need to play catch up haha) is the LotR Sauron for inspiration, here http://onelover-ray.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/rp-no-147-sauron-lord-of-ring.html but currently reading through the Saga section as my cousin wants me to paint him up a warband for that.

    Id like to be put in the draw for the no10 victorian gents :)

    I'm in and will gladly accept whatever the fates deem me worthy of. I'll also be in the UK the week of May 18th and, therefore, can save you the postage if I win some wonderful prize from your erudite and selfless generosity. I've also been known to buy a round or two after a win (I think that last bit borders on bribery - so be it, one man's "bribery" if another's simple gesture of appreciation)

    As for my favorite post it very recent - the 2015 blogger metope. It's fun to put faces to names - well except with you...
    http://onelover-ray.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/salute-2015-blogger-meet-up.html

    Crap, I may have just lost all the obsequious goodwill I tried to create.

    Lastly, here a link to the post on my blog:

    What I like in your blog is that I feel your love of the subject. If I really have to choose articles, as I'm a fan of sci-fi and fantasy miniatures, it's the cute mouse witch ( http://onelover-ray.blogspot.fr/2012/08/rousell-v-oleary-big-one.html ), and the Doctor with Amy ( http://onelover-ray.blogspot.fr/2011/09/dr-and-pond.html ) because it's the Doctor, with Amy :)

    First off congratulations on the milestone. Reading yours and Fran's blogs is part of what got me into this whole mess. So let's get this rolling.

    1. Already done.

    2. I would like to put my name in for 18, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 4, 6 and 14. I have reasons for each of them, but I'm sure you'll just call me a greedy git :-)

    3. My favorite post, of many is http://onelover-ray.blogspot.com/2013/11/blog-con-day-2-return-of-badger.html I really wish I could have been there for a pint and crap Chinese food.

    4. I promoted it at http://seanswgcorner.blogspot.com/2015/05/colony-87-cardboard-warriors-and-rays.html

    5. Got it in on the 13th. I thought it would be later.

    Thanks again for showing us how it's done.
