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.

KenR 28mm A13 Cruiser Tanks (85 pts)
This week's entries are a set of 4 28mm A13 Cruiser Tanks painted up in the Caunter Camouflage Scheme. There was a little more #flakegate issues with these even after their second prep with Rubbing Alcohol and Plastic Primer. What does seem to work, over the small patches at least, is Vallejo Surface Primer. It may be a solution if I ever get any more Blitzkrieg models.
The above tank has been marked up as a Command vehicle and a Perrys Miniatures Commander figure has been added. I recently purchased some more decals for these models, this time from Warlord Games which have given me some useful vehicle name decals which I have used on these.
I rather like the look of this tank and it's easy to see how it's evolved from the earlier A9 and A10 Tanks and how it would evolve itself into the Crusader tank.
Points wise it's 4 x 28mm vehicles at 20 points a piece plus two halves of a 28mm figure to make a whole 5 pts or 85 in total.
Back to some plain Crusader Tanks this week as I need to catch up to keep my 3 Tanks a week personal challenge going. Still working on the Challenge Entry Fee and a unit of Papal Gendarme.
Your tanks are just amazing, especially with the trials of flakegate. Love these
Martin
