Super Tiny Speed Paint

I like to try and enter the Sheffield Irregulars monthly painting as often as I can as I think it has helped me improved my miniature painting, but circumstances have prevented me from doing so for the last few months. So, I was determined to enter this month; even having managed to select a suitable miniature for the current contest theme: 'Duel'. Other things just kept coming up, though, that I had to get done and it wasn't until I attended the Sheffield Irregulars session today that I could even start it!

Needless to say, undercoating a miniature after 1:30pm when the deadline for a competition is 6:00pm the same day is less than ideal. However, never being one to be deterred by adversity, I pressed ahead and at the end of the session about two hours later, I was pleased to see that I had just about finished the piece. Now, this is not quite as impressive as it sounds when I let you in on the fact that the miniature I painted is The World's Smallest Wargame which was the givaway miniature at the Newark Irregulars' 2007 Partizan show (previewed here). It was sculpted by Baccus6mm.

So, all I really painted were two 6mm tall wargamers and a suitably sized wargames table in a couple of hours. But you know what? I'm really pleased with the way its come out :) I hope you agree but go ahead and comment, whether you like it or not!
