Hey all

One of the highlights of my painting hobby is donating my painted figures to Toys for Tots. I've done it for the last two years and I fully intend to do it again this year. I do it for three reasons…

1) I love to paint
2) I feel like my hard work and efforts go to a new owner that can appreciate the figures.
3) What Santa Moe does for Toys for Tots is amazing and needs all the help we can afford to give.

That being said…. if you were to bid on figures for Toys for Tots, what would excite you the most? Would it be a 4 point Saga army? Maybe a WWII unit for Bolt Action- Russians, Germans, Americans, etc.? How about a Civil War unit for Black Powder?

Most of the stuff I already have ready paint – so why ask this question? I'd like to see the auction get the most amount of money possible. If enough people respond with a preference, I'm happy to paint that era.

I'm looking forward to your feedback!

Great question

I am firing up my brushes as well

My plan is to paint up and base three brigades of Union troops for Fire & Fury – maybe some Rebs too if things go well

This the sort of thing people would buy?

I have done 28mm WWII Soviets in the past which I am told sell well

Actually all three of those would go over well. IMHO

What do others think?

ANd you know my feelings, I'm just grateful for your hard work, no matter what you do.

Thanks!!!

Santa Moe.
