Figure auction for 2014's Bloggers for Charity

Well thanks to all the hard work of our blogging painters and the generosity of Andrew over at AW Miniatures I can now offer you all a chance to own some great painted F&IW 28mm figures.
I have created a page with all the units listed and pictures, if you want to buy one or more of the units continue reading for how I plan to run the auction.

If you wish to bid on a unit email your bid to <Deleted - see post of 30 June 2014>.  I will fill in on the page the current highest bid on any unit and the initials of the bidder, if two or more bids are the same the first bid received will be the highest bid. The Auction will run from the moment this post goes live till 19:00 June 30th 2014 London GMT. Please be aware that cost of postage will be covered by the winning bidder.

Last Three weeks

Well it is almost time for Triples 2014 and despite a bit of a wobble this week I am getting set for the weekend. I have all figures back and a huge THANK YOU to all our painters. I have the last few base's to paint and then I will grab some pictures to share.
As you may have noticed I have not been around this year and I wish I could say it is because life has been too full of fun, truth is I came very near to a complete metal break down early in the year and  it was only the support and help of my family which kept me on track.
I have to be honest and say that while it has been great to start and be involved with BfC and I still am amazed about how much help and support the blogger comunity has given the project, I will be happy to get Triples over and start the auction for the figures.
I wanted to take this chance to again thank each and every one of you for all your help and support and to say sorry to any who have been offended by my cutting of all ties I have shut my google account and the blog is now mothballed my FB account has been cut back to just my family and I no longer use any Forum's.
As I said at the top I should have some pictures to share very soon and hopefully I will be able to say hi to many of you at Triples.

Flags of war

So one of the first companies that offered help was Flags of War, I sent a list of the units we are using in our game last week and today I got a letter from Iain and in it was these fantastic flags. Now all the Regular units will look splendid with their own fantastic colours.
Thank you very much Iain and the answer is yes I like them very much.

First Completed Units

The figures are starting to return to me thick and fast, so my basing is going well I have two units awaiting texture while two more have the paint drying on the base before dry brushing. But I have the first three fully completed units and they look fantastic.
Once I have some better pictures of all units I will create a page each for the French and British with plenty of pictures of each unit.
But for now here are some rough pictures of the first two French and the first British Units for your own Bloggers For Charity Project, again a huge well done to all involved as I continue to get great feedback from all areas of our hobby about just how great people think our little idea is.
Peace James
