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.

AaronH - 28mm Santa from Foundry (5 Points)

This next entry was something I whipped out on Christmas day. This model came free from Foundry last year, when I ordered the Curtgeld.

Santa's not hearing any of your crap!

The model was a quick paint. Simple but loaded with character.

The snow is OK. Not great but it'll do.

The snow is GW's. I'm not really sold on it, but I have a container of it to use up now. I'm not really sure what I'll do with this model now, but it was fun to paint.

From Curt:
Great work Aaron! I like his quartered shield design and it's good that you didn't go overboard with the snow. You could have a scenario of him guarding his home in the North Pole from raiders. He looks like he should be standing in a doorway saying, 'And I've heard you've been very naughty...' His 'elves' could be bad@ss Jomsvikings and Mrs. Santa a formidable shield maiden...
