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.

Voting Results for the 3rd Bonus Theme Round: 'Victorian'

Ah, the 'Victorian' round proved to be a real corker, with many imaginative entries ranging from steampunk ships to an indomitable ratcatcher plying his trade in the back lanes of London.

Again, it was another tight race with only one vote separating First and Second place and no more than a dozen pips between the other top 5 spots. Great stuff.

Here are the runners up:

AlanD's 'Flashman's Guide to International Diplomacy'

MartinN's 'Jack the Ripper'

IannickM's 'Monsieur la Mort'

ByronM's 'Steampunk Tinkerbell'

As for the finalists, I was fortunate enough to secure Third Place with my rendition of 'The Artful Dodger'.

BrianB took Second Place (and 50 bonus points) with his brilliantly SCULPTED AND PAINTED 'Pennyfarthing'.

...and in First Place we have the ever-talented MichaelA with his fantastic ensemble cast: 'Scotland Yard Company'

Michael, for your efforts you will get a 75 bonus points AND a gift certificate from Martin and Diane at Warbases. Congratulations Mr. Awdry, and thank you Martin and Diane for your generous and continued support of the Challenge!

Okay! This Sunday the bonus round theme is 'Myth' so participants make sure to get your submissions in by Saturday and visitors please come back and visit the gallery to see all of the fantastic entries from our maniacal painters. Paint On!
