All Hell Let Loose 14

The first painted WW2 vehicles in over a year and hopefully not the last this year.  All three vehicles come from Britannia Miniatures - now Grubby Tanks - and have painted well. 

Shown below from left to right there is:

• SDKFZ 140 Flakpanzer 38(t)
• PZKW III J with short 50mm barrell
• PZWK II (f) - Luchs

More work in progress and finished items to follow shortly.

Cheers for now

So the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge has finished for another year and 76 hobbyists have put down their brushes for a while. 

Below are the finished figures and models for this years challenge totalling 306 points just 6 points more than the Challenge Target for the year. Overall a 2% increase in productivity.

Personal favourite for this year's challenge goes to the Pz MKIII shown top left below. 

The Undead Hordes can rest uneasily for a few more aeons although there will be some small additions in the coming months. 

The Lead Mountain thrives in preparation for next year's challenge with the addition of some of Aly Morrison's DL2 Hobgoblins and a random Undead figure in 25/28mm. More on these to follow in the near future too. Some of the unfinished items in the background too.

A beginning is a very difficult time and as one challenge ends so another begins, this one being to maintain a good motivation for painting post challenge. 

Cheers for now.

As this years painting challenge draws near to completion so do the three pieces of WW2 German armour that will be a part of my final submission.

20mm WW2 vehicles have become a constant part of the challenge submission as this the seventh that I have been involved with draws to a close. Next year it will probably be on to the desert war if any 20mm WW2 is included in the challenge for 2018-19

There are also a couple of Ninja's, three undead 15mm's and up to 8 Romano Brits not shown.

Some more completed figures to follow shortly and the last rush for the challenge end date.

Cheers for now

Back to the Brushes 125

Been a bit under the weather the last few weeks, well we all have really which has meant nothing serious getting done on the hobby front during this time.

So here are the pictures taken before the onset of the family lurgy

A new edition, the Hellcat from MMS Models. A heavy all metal pieces that will hopefully be complete by the end of challenge. Pictured next to him is the Curtgeld figure from the Penda vignette from Gripping Beast. Might have to paint this set again in the future.

A Sexton from Britannia Models, not a challenge piece as it was originally start some years back.

Three more Mk II Carriers that are a bit further on than shown as are the Heavy Plasma cannons shown below from Ground Zero Games

Originally started for West the Rangers of Ithilien will have to muster for characters from a book theme.

There you have it, best part of two weeks out of action and very little to show for it.

Hoping to change this over the next few days.

Cheers for now

Back to the Brushes 101

A brief update on the progress of several different projects that are in different stages. Sadly no pictures as the camera hadn't charged properly. Hopefully just operator error there.

The next three "cats" for the WW2 Germans are nearing completion with the final dry brushing, decals and varnishing still to do.

A number of Citadel Chaos Warriors are completed and waiting on final pictures being taken for entry into the Analogue Painting Challenge.

The Uruk Hai have stalled but will hopefully be on track for completion before the deadline.

Dropship troopers for Critical Mass have also stalled, however will be back to these this week. This will hopefully allow the Augmented Troopers time to be started and completed, again before the deadline.

Moving along well with the first of the 6mm Macedonians and Greeks with the skirmish line nearly completed. These are the same as the Chaos Warriors and only require pictures.

Will post some work in progress pictures once the camera charges.

Cheers for now

All Hell Let Loose 9

As recently displayed on the Analogue Painting Challenge here are some completed pieces of WW2 German armour

A Sturmtiger and Hetzer both from Britannia Miniatures. Both the same scale although you might not realises the Hetzer is meant to the be longer of the two.

Now a pair of Sd Kfz 234's from Frontline shown here are the 234/3 75mm Close Support Armoured car and the 234/4 PAK 40.

Lastly, there is a Sd Kfz 11 (3 Tonnes) from Britannia.

There will be more to follow shortly.

Cheers for now
