It's been very pleasant exchanging e-mails with those of you who have bid. You can feel satisfied that you'll be getting some great figures and contributing to a great cause - thank you!<br />
<br />
For those of you who haven't placed a bid (yet!), I'd like to stress that there a some real bargains here.<br />
<br />
I'll just highlight the two lots which (inexplicably to me) haven't received any bids.<br />
<br />

Is it the old eBay habits? Are you all out there waiting to snipe at the last minute? Remember: if two bids for the same amount come in,<b><i> the first one received wins</i></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>A Shout-Out to Painters</b><br />
<br />
Before I highlight some more of the lots I'd like to make a shout-out to those people who donated time and effort in painting figures for BfC. I think it's only right and proper that you get due credit, but I don't have a list of who did what. Can I therefore ask the painters to drop me an e-mail, letting me know which pieces are theirs?<br />
<br />
Apart from anything else, I'm sure the successful bidders would like to know whose work they now own.<br />
<br />
<b>And On to the Lots...</b><br />
<br />
Previously we've looked at <a href="http://bloggersforcharity.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/re-boot-day-one.html">the mounted French officers</a> and <a href="http://bloggersforcharity.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/re-boot-day-two-some-questions-answered.html">the three lots of French infantry</a>, today it's the remaining French forces:-<br />

<br />
Tonight I'm going to answer a few questions that have been raised by potential bidders:-<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i>Will you post internationally?</i> Yes, but postage will be met by the purchaser (this isn't just for international, but for all postage).</li>
<li><i>Would you accept payment by PayPal?</i> Yes, we have a PayPal account and this is our preferred method (you might notice the 'Donate Now' button on the right of the page.</li>
<li><i>Is there any way to add GiftAid to the wining bid, so the charities get the full benefit?</i> No, unfortunately not. We're not a charity ourselves, just fundraising, so we can't apply GiftAid.</li>
</ul>
<div>
If there are any other questions, just ask.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now for some eye-candy! Tonight's featured lots are the three lots of French line infantry.</div>

James did an interesting historical post on the 1759 French line infantry - <a href="http://bloggersforcharity.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/french-line-infantry-1759.html"><b>here</b></a>.</div>

I'd also like to thank those of you who have sent us bids!<br />
<br />
Over the next few weeks I'll be highlighting a different lot in each post. Today's is <b>Lot 1F </b>- <i>Two Mounted French Officers</i>. As you can see, they seem to have spotted each other across the field of battle and are making their 'bonjours'. The bid on these (at the time of writing) is £10.00.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

This lot and all our others, along with details of how to bid are <a href="http://bloggersforcharity.blogspot.co.uk/p/painting.html"><b>on the Auction Page</b></a>.</div>

<br />
A lot of hard work has been put in by James (who came up with the BfC concept and got everything together), the generous donors of figures, bases and artwork, various volunteer painters and others behind the scenes. Yet despite this the final push of the BfC 2014 Campaign - the auction - has made little impact.<br />
<br />
After some discussion - and with the generous support of current bidders - it has therefore been decided that in order that the original intent of BfC (to raise money through our joint effort for some pretty damn fine charities) be met we should re-boot the auction, <b>which is hereby extended to 22:00 British Summer Time on 31 July 2014.</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCmqViVte0UV6QFDBOXA_eJMJ3ICwZMW916f0UPuaA3lsTHfNJjk6DeuI6LGl8kZ5u2EcaTnk-y-M7cQXswZU6JVfpTq0mSBlMPRmUTEMPN8ZjiWKDUGw_LtjKqpP87eGlAqG4VHDy-lFo/s1600/BfC1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCmqViVte0UV6QFDBOXA_eJMJ3ICwZMW916f0UPuaA3lsTHfNJjk6DeuI6LGl8kZ5u2EcaTnk-y-M7cQXswZU6JVfpTq0mSBlMPRmUTEMPN8ZjiWKDUGw_LtjKqpP87eGlAqG4VHDy-lFo/s1600/BfC1.jpg" height="400" width="290" /></a></div>
<br />
The lots remain the same - the 28mm French and Indian Wars figures donated by AW Miniatures and painted by volunteers from around the world. In addition, Peter Barfield (PanzerKaput) has donated a piece of original artwork - the Woods Indian that featured on this page until replaced by images of the finished figures. <a href="http://bloggersforcharity.blogspot.co.uk/p/painting.html"><b>All lots (with current high bids) can be seen</b> <b>here</b></a> - there's still chance to win some great figures at bargain prices (or to go silly 'for charitee').<br />
<br />
<b>The procedure or bidding has changed slightly</b>. Please e-mail diplomatist2<AT>gmail<DOT>com with details of the lot you are interested in and your top bid. If you are bidding on an item that has not yet received bids then include both your starting bid and your top bid.<br />
<br />
Can I ask all of you to do what you can to spread the word about the auction and that it's still running? Thanks.<br />
<br />
Edwin<br />

<br />
Due to some personal and technical hitches we've had problems keeping <a href="http://bloggersforcharity.blogspot.co.uk/p/painting.html"><b>the auction page</b></a> up-to-date. We'd like to apologise to everyone for this. The BfC planning group are aware of this and we're discussing what's best to be done. Please have patience with us - hopefully, we'll have an update later today.<br />
<br />
At this point we'd like to thank again all those who gave their time and effort in providing and painting the figures and artwork that are up for auction. <br />
<br />
We hope to get the best results possible for the charities we've undertaken to support.Diplomatisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04154642903216207181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442328300077637552.post-85848456381959436682014-05-31T07:29:00.000+01:002014-06-30T17:46:17.961+01:00Figure auction for 2014's Bloggers for Charity<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

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.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />

So one of the first companies that offered help was <a href="http://www.flagsofwar.com/" target="_blank">Flags of War</a>, 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.<br />

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.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />

I am slowly getting things sorted and into order after Loki had to step down to concentrate on family. I have made a few big decisions that I hope you will not mind. Any figures that have not yet been posted are <u>not going to go out</u>, I am sorry if you have been waiting for your figures but I just do not think I will have the time to get them posted and returned and based before we need to be running a few test games. The Terrain Mat we will be using is a big investment so I plan to keep this to be used by BfC in (hopefully) future events.<br />
I am slowly contacting our supporters to confirm details but I could do with a quick confirmation from all you blog followers that you will still be happy to support BfC this year and years to come or do you feel we should get this year sorted and call it a day?<br />
I have contacted the reenactment guys and they have confirmed they will be attending. On the weekend I will be staying with my Old man and our friend just down the road from the venue on Saturday night so will check out the local area for some where we can all meet up for a meal and general catch up.<br />
Anyway I had best get off for now as I still have a few emails to fire off<br />
<br />
Peace James<br />

So with the expansion of BfC and the road trip to Europe we have been looking at making transport easy. The figures I can pack securely in travel box's but the original plans for terrain boards would have not left much room in the car for bloggers. After a search around we have been able to get a terrain mat which will be in its own solid postage case. We are using <a href="http://terrainmat.com/index.html" target="_blank">Terrain Mat</a> and at the present moment we are planing to use this for maybe a couple of years BfC before offering it up for auction but plan's are not set in concrete yet.<br />
I would like to thank my Dad (Paul Brewerton) for sorting this out for us.<br />

The dates have been set as the last post showed so if anyone is planning to come along and join the fun let me know so I can sort out numbers. I will be staying overnight on the Saturday so hope that as many Bloggers as possible can get together for a meal and a few drinks<br />

I dont want any sympathy as I will battle on regardless and have the strength of character to do so.<br />
<br />
However I am unable to maintain the level of commitment that this projects needs and deal with my other responsibilities so I have to walk away from this venture, and have had to make some dramatic changes that have seen me effectively kill off my business as my health deteriorates. I will still give what support I can but I cannot continue to steer the ship in any shape or form.<br />
<br />
I will of course honour my commitment to send out all the work to be painted once I get the outstanding figures and fulfil my obligation to base all the figures and units to give them a cohesive appearance. However this has to be the extent of my commitment.<br />
<br />
I am disappointed that I could not see this through to the end of the year, and get it on the road, but I cant guarantee the future at the moment, and must place the needs of my family first which means taking a new career path at the very least to preserve my health.<br />
<br />
I am sure the project will continue to grow and be supported by you all with James now heading up this project and see it through to what I hope becomes a very successful conclusion.<br />
<br />
I wish you all every success both for now and in the future.<br />
<br />

<br />
My thanks to all of you who responded to my last post. I believe I have now managed to sort all the confusion out and contacted you all.<br />
<br />
I have now updated the painting log and posted it to this blog so each of you can check on the current status of the painting. If your name is not on the list please accept my apologies and send me an email so I can sort it out.<br />
<br />
As you can see we are in need of 5 units still to be allocated, these are all small 6 figure units of Indians, so please if you can step forward and help please volunteer as we cant do this without the help and generosity from the wider community.<br />
<br />
I have been asked several times about basing of figures and other matters, so I will clarify those points now so you have a reference.<br />
<br />
1. Please mount the figures on some card or similar material for painting. I will be basing all the figures once they are returned. This is to maintain the unit cohesion and to give a consistent finish.<br />
<br />
2. Please ensure your figures are at least given 1 coat of varnish before posting back, so they survive the post!<br />
<br />
3. The deadline for all figures to be returned is no later than 7th Feb 2014 please, to give me time to base them all up.<br />
<br />
Once again Thank you for volunteering, and good luck. I am here for help should any of you need references for painting etc.<br />
<br />
Regards<br />
Loki<br />
