From DallasE: Painting Challenge Wrap-up


The 1/56 Schwimmwagen is MIA

Well it's time to wrap up another Challenge so here goes...

My total output for the Challenge this year was down, unfortunately - not sure why exactly. I had some personal things going on and lots of hockey (both ice- and floor-) to play this winter so that may have contributed to a painting slowdown. Also I didn't slavishly follow the course of the planets through the Challenge system like I did last time, so that cost me some points. But honestly I don't really care about the points (how could I with less than 800 scored and a 43rd place finish?) and it was just good to get some stuff painted.

Here is the breakdown:

1/48 and 1/50 vehicles: 9
1/56 vehicles: 5
Star Wars Legion infantry: 12
Star Wars Legion beasts and riders: 2
28mm infantry: 13
28mm beasts: 1
28mm riders: 2
20mm vehicles: 1
28mm terrain and vehicle stowage: quite a bit

So thanks again to Curt and Sarah, and all the Minions (especially my Minion Barks) for all their work in running the Challenge again this year. And my wallet thanks you too for prompting me to start a whole new 28mm WW2 project! 

With that I'll sign off again for another year, and in the immortal words of Dr. John McLaughlin (anybody else remember his show, The McLaughlin Group??):

Bye-BYE!
