From MattW: Final Countdown (83 Points)

 Final Countdown 

Completing the last bits I can before the challenge ends …. I have surpassed my point goal my quite a lot this year so a very productive challenge for me. A big congratulations to all of those who have entered the challenge and completed your personal goals. 

Final building for the challenge for me 28mm building from Tabletop Workshop plastic buildings, I have added plaster then stippled with a toothbrush, sanded flat then to remove the peaks, before painting. This will join my medieval city build this year. 

28mm building 10 points 

Next up some 20mm Dutch, a Revell plastic wagon and Early War Miniature crewman, a welcome addition to my supply units. 

20mm Dutch staff car, a simple repaint of a Diecast car with a SHQ driver and officer. 

20mm Belgian staff car, again a repaint of a Diecast vehicle

20mm three vehicles @ 15 = 45 points

20mm 7 figures @ 4 = 28 points 

Total points 83

Cheers

Matt

Wonderful work Matt and delighted to hear that you've had a good Challenge! I love how you made that medieval building your own with the addition of the plaster - very nice. I also like all the 20mm WWII kit. It's such a great scale for this period, with so much available in kits and diecast. The Dutch staff is inspired.

Well done, sir!

From Guy B: Running out of time! [Death Star] (100 points)

Well, things haven't quite gone as planned. I have a load of BEF infantry and vehicles on the go, but life has become very busy all of a sudden! After having Covid and a very busy February, oh and finishing a magazine!

So, I'm posting what's ready to date and with luck I might get another post before the challenge ends - it probably won't be a Tuesday tho, as the last day is a Monday!

So, what we have here is a conglomeration of things. There's twelve BEF infantry and one vehicle. The BEF are painted in a mix of English Uniform (VMC and Khaki (VMC 988). I've used Yellow Green (VMC 881) for the webbing. The helmets are polished off in Citadel Militarum Green.

The Belgian T13 was a test paint of a 3D print, not great but 'good enough' for an up and coming event. I'll hope someone does a decent T13 Tank destroyer and replace it in the goodness of time.

The tank is painted a very basic khaki grey (VMC 880).

So to sum up - the T13 is definitely of questionable design and is itself a questionable print! I count twelve soldiers (60 points) and one vehicle (20 points), plus the challenge bonus (+20) making 100 points for this round.

Best get back to painting! 

Nicely done Guy! I can't comment on the questionability of the print of the T13, but its design certainly was questionable like many tanks from the 1930s.
