Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge V Comes to an End

This year's challenge has drawn to a close and what a ride's it's been.  I want to thank Curt for organizing and hosting the madness - I'll never know how he summons the willpower to see this through each year.

I also want to thank all the participants who make being part of the undertaking so much fun. The only thing that rivals the groups astonishing painting skills is their class - to be honest I'm surprised the let someone like me into the club.

I was very pleased with how the Challenge worked out for me - I managed to end up tied for third place with Mr Millsy with 3,204 points each, which was a cool 800 points over my internal target of 2,404. For those of you not familiar with the scoring (most of you!) one earns 5 points for a painted 28mm infantry figures - awards move up and down from there base on scale, type etc.  3,404 points equates to painting and basing 640 28mm infantry figures in 3 months.

I'll post a group shot of my output shortly.

In terms of projects completed heres a distribution of the points earned

28mm WW2  (DAK, Brits & US Marines)      1,399   /   44%
All Quiet on the Martian Front                            440   /  14%

I did manage to finish of the fleets I need for the ACW naval game I'll be putting on at Historicon so thats another big plus.

I think it's time to work on some scenery!
