As part of the IRON MAN II charity challenge, Stuart McC and Mark M painted a 48-model 28mm WWII British infantry platoon from Artizan Designs, donated by Great Escape Games. And now we are offering it for sale by auction here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Painted-28mm-Artizan-Design-48-figure-WWII-British-force-100-for-charity-/130973131926?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item1e7e9b6496. Pictures of the models are in the slideshow link below, as well as on the ebay listing:

All proceeds go to the Save the Children charity. So far, we have raised over £500 GBP for the charity, and had a great time doing it! The warband will be auctioned, with a closing date of August 30th at midnight GMT. Bids must be emailed to stuart@greatescapegames.co.uk. All bids are closed. Winning bidder will be announced by the following day.

We are setting a reserve of £168 GBP for the 48 figure platoon. That's £3.50 GBP per figure, so please dig deep. Monies will be deposited through ebay, at which you may use your credit/debit card or PayPal. Postage charges apply, or they may be picked up in Cardiff, or at a show attended by Great Escape Games - http://www.greatescapegames.co.uk/rules-of-engagement/tour.

Even if you don't want to bid, please consider donating - http://www.justgiving.com/ironmanII - so that you can help children, and set us a tougher target to beat next year!

The event was detailed here - http://www.justgiving.com/ironmanII - and on online news pages and forums.

With all the pledges in and with the charity figures sold, we raised over £1150 for Save the Children!
Thanks for the support.
