First, Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! The first miniature giveaway for 2024 will be the "what-if" Dutch battlecruiser Gouden Leeuw. I used the suggested camouflage pattern from the book "Dutch Warships of World War II" by Henk van Willigenburg. According to the book all the West Indies dutch warships had a gray-green two tone camouflage pattern by the start of the war in the Pacific. The author included a short chapter just on the proposed battlecruiser. Gouden Leeuw is from C.O.B. Constructs and Miniatures (squint181) and the base is by Reacher.
You can enter if you have not won a miniature in one of my monthly giveaways in the last six months. If you have a mini from me by any other means like a contest prize you are still eligible. According to my list the ineligible contestants are RH, itlesserknown, curtm911, mnnorthstars, and Scheerluck. All others are eligible. If the prize is not claimed within two weeks of the drawing I will roll the die again from the same list of participants.
Just post to this thread:
"Say Toot-a-loo to Gouden Leeuw" before Monday, January 1st, 2024, 8 PM US Central Time. I will compile the list in order of posting as usual, and then roll for the winner on Tuesday night, January 2nd, 2024 around 9:00 pm US Central Time.
The fine print: As always, entries are limited to members of the Forumini that joined the board as of the time this message was posted. I paint several copies of each miniature and the one you receive may be slightly different from the miniature in the photographs. Weedsrock2, his affiliates, and heirs, take no responsibility for the outcome of any game where this miniature is used.
