The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge

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 RayR - Caprica/Doomed Prisoner Wagon & Sarah's Star Yacht (90 points)

My 3rd post of the day!!! Sorry Greg! Not quite sure what's wrong with my posts?

My first stop is Caprica where I will invoke those who are Doomed. I was going to paint this Prison wagon up for the Challenge anyway so it was pretty handy that it fitted into Caprica/Doomed perfectly.

My prisoner wagon contains 3 Rebel traitors being driven to their doom, just after the Battle of Sedgemoor in 1685.

The Wagon is from the very clever lads & lasses from Iron Gate Scenery and was a snip at £8!

It is more of a medieval model, so I changed the wheels to look more 17th/18th century which worked well. Check them out if you haven't already, they make some brilliant terrain pieces. I do have a few more bits from them for later in the Challenge.

I did also buy the figures to go with the wagon, but chose to buy another pack from Col Bill, c17th century Prisoners and guard. The three prisoner figures fit well into the wagon as my prisoners. The 2 drivers I believe are both also from Col Bill's Depot Battalion.

After lounging around on Caprica I decided to jump back on Sarah's Star Yacht, with our destination being the wonderful planet Skaro. As payment for my trip I offer up Cate Cramer a c18th century US settler, I'm sure Cate will fit in with my other civilians for King Philips War.

Cate is another of Col Bills, Belt Fed Gaming Novelty Girls and like Becky Burton in my previous post is a snip at £3.35.

Points mean prizes so lets work out how many....

5 x 25mm figures - 25pts

Wagon 1 x 28mm vehicle - 20pts

Caprica/Doomed Bonus - 20pts

Cate Cramer 1 x 25mm - 5pts

Sarah's Star Yacht - 20pts

Well done Ray - not only is the painting fine, but I did not have to sort out the alignment of the text in your post. BRILLIANT.

Now, to the painting - all the bushwork is very nice, of course, but that prisoner wagon...that is so damn cool! I can imagine it being great for all sorts of gaming scenarios. Very nice stuff.

90 points for your tally!
