Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge V: The Total Production

 Well what does one get from participating in a 3 month long painting challenge and foolishly setting a goal to finish in the top5?  It turns out one gets to have a lot fun and end up with a crap metric ton of painted minis!   The top picture shows the total production which generated 3,204 points and put me in a tie for third place with Millsy from Australia.

A closer look to the left shows the additions to the my Confederate and British fleets which will appear at Historicon for a "what if?" scenario of a British intervention into the ACW.  The Warrior is true to scale with the others - she is a massive beast.  Behind the ironclads are a pair of Spanish 74's and some 28mm ww2 US marines and Brits.

 To the right one can see the additions to the Union fleet and what turned out to be a massive WW2 DAK army in 28mm scale.  I think I went overboard here.

 To the rear are some additions to my All Quiet on the Martian front collection including the massive US Land Ironclad.  AQMF is a great game and I need to get back to playing it.

Lastly some odds and ends - another 36 figure French infantry battalion, 24 British troops from the Zulu wars, a British Intervention force artillery battery, some FOW stuff and a largish collection of Arab / Israeli figs in 6mm.

    Yours was a fantastic effort and worthy of first place in a sane man's challenge but unfortunately for you we had two guys totally insane :-)

    Outstanding work! Are you planning on taking a break from the brushes now, or are you on a roll and this will be your regular output level? :-)

    An impressive haul mate! I'm glad we finished on a tie, it sums up the spirit of the challenge nicely and we're both winners with all the newly painted toys.
