Me & Lee got together on Tuesday evening to bring both sides of our Retreat from Moscow project together in the Rejects Shed-o-War. Laid out on the table we are more than a little amazed at how much we have got done during the painting challenge. Once again this amazing event has stimulated our creative juices, whipped up our enthusiasm and kept our brushes whirling in a way we never normally manage to replicate at any other time of the year.
I beat Lee on points.........so we recreated that beating in front of our combined output from the Challenge!!
We've had a good long chat about our respective armies and have already made a list of extra units we want to add. We have already started making some of the terrain we want for this project and yesterday we agreed what to buy next and exchanged ideas of items we would like to see on a future battlefield. So while the frenetic pace of activity during the challenge will abate a little over the next few weeks, we are hoping to keep that enthusiasm burning throughout the year. I summed it up perfectly when I describe our efforts during the Challenge as "phase one of the project".
There will be more to come!
Awesome display - the punch up not the game :-) See you lads at Salute.

Thanks Lee. Although we planned to do the same baseing. It's hard to tell them apart, so thankfully the planning worked 100%.

DeleteI have nothing original to add...outstanding work from both of you Ray and I look forward to seeing your first game when phases 2-10 have been completed in about 5 years 😆
ReplyDeleteLol, hopefully it won't be that long???
DeleteMore units than I expected. Surely that's enough? And all well painted.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely enough, but we're stupid and want more!
DeleteA fine collection of toys from both of you… well done…
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have more than enough for a fairly reasonable sized game.
All the best. Aly
