Here's the Iron Man III facebook page, and the ebay listing for the army we painted. Go and check it out and tell all those wealthy friends who are too lazy to paint their own soldiers.

August 16th/17th. Paint your miniatures in a 24 hr marathon for charity! Donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/IronMan-III

I guess that most of you browsing blogs, like me, do a lot of hooby stuff, so I'd especially love some of the bloggers out there to get involved. And please share our facebook page. 



You can join us at Firestorm Games in Cardiff, or you can paint from home. Be sure to tell us what you are painting and get some pics taken of the finished work. Here's a summary:

1/ A 24 hour painting marathon for charity. Save the Children works in 120 countries (inc. the UK) mainly in South America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa - http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/about-us/what-we-do

2/ Paint soldiers for yourself or contribute to painting an army for auctioning off. Each participant raises £10+ or does a stint on the charity army at Firestorm Games. You pledge to paint a project set by you. It may be a unit of figures, it may be 60 hoplites. Whatever. Get some family members to sponsor you. Chuck some money in yourself.

3/ If you can't make it, set yourself a painting target and get it done at home. Chuck your £10+ in or gain sponsorship.

4/ August 16/17th. Start time 12 noon.

So please dig deep and donate now.

IRON MAN II was a great success. Me and Mark painted a force of 48 WWII British Infantry (28mm Artizan) which are now on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130973131926 - with 100% of the money raised going to Save the Children.

We hope to break the £1000 mark with this annual charity event.

***NEWS***
With all the pledges in and with the charity figures sold, we raised over £1150 for Save the Children!
Thanks for the support.
I also got well into painting 12 Napoleonic French light infantry:
