Hope you are all well. My 28mm Vietnam project is rattling along nicely. Like all projects it is growing out of control. What originally started as a small fire team scale action has grown to a full platoon of USMC (with additional support), 2 platoons of Vietnamese (with support), a helicopter and these beauties
Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

From MartinC The 3 Stooges and Friends (80pts)
These 3 M113 transports are from The Assault Group and are lovely resin castings. They are only £8 each. Looking a images there is little in the way of markings but all seemed to be named and these three are Larry, Mo and Curly.
they will provide useful support and transport and great targets for RPGs
It is also that time of the year when those random figures that have been painted up during the challenge but not posted get their time in the sun
1st up this 54mm Barbarian figure is from MrLees and is a beautiful figure
Really enjoyed painting it
Next we have Jesse "The Body" Venture fighting an invisible Predator. This is a great Hasslefree figure
It is always a great disappointment to me that these guns don't really exist in this form. They just don't make power cables long enough
Finally a random Grey Scale Landsknecht figure. Painted this when I doing the grey scale para.
Suited my sense of fun to paint the most colourful soldiers in the world in black and white.
Scores
3x28mm vehicles = 60
1x54mm figure = 10pts
2x28mm figures = 10pts
80pts.
Right I have some USMC to paint

DeleteGreat work Martin. Those APCs will come in handy if you reflect the the Diem regime change of '63. ;) I really like their names as well. The greyscale Landsknecht is perfect.
ReplyDeletecheers, the M113s were unplanned and I do love the Lansknecht
DeleteWell done Martin. I always respect anyone who can manage to paint an M113 - one of the least inspiring vehicles ever produced...
