Stephen's Challenge

What I managed to finish, minus the Curtgelds...
 At the start of the Challenge with three months of non-stop painting stretched out in front of me, I had run all sorts of calculations to determine how many models I could paint if I just really applied myself... While I didn't reach any of those lofty targets I had set myself, I did complete a marvelous 53 miniatures and punched through my target of 500 points. Most importantly, not only was I inspired to paint a lot more figures than I would of otherwise, I had great fun doing so!

What I didn't finish, or rather, what has been thoughtfully prepared for the next Challenge...

A life-sized version of me.


Thanks Curt, and all my fellow challengers, for a fantastic three months! 

'Till next time...

Cheers,

Steve

  13. Great work Stephen! :)

    Of course, you're assuming that none of those primed figures will have been painted before the next Challenge...err...actually that's quite possible - my Rebs were primed for last year, or maybe the year before...
