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.

From KenR - A Trio of 28mm "Honey" Tanks (63 Points)
Another transfer of three tanks from the to do pile to the done box this week and this time it's my second batch of three M3 Stuart Tanks.
As with all my tanks so far this challenge they are part of the #flakegate Blitzkrieg Miniatures fiasco, but I have managed to get another three over the line. Following on from the Mark VI Light Tanks last time I have stuck with the Official colours for the Caunter Scheme mostly because the paints were on the table 😉
This is the second batch of tanks that have had the benefit of the Warlord Games Tank Name decals. It was a tight fit on the turrets so it was short name time !
Points are 3 x 20 for the tanks plus half points for the one crew on show for 63 points.
There are a couple of Tanks to do from the Brits with 5 more left waiting for spare parts (which will hopefully arrive in time for challenge end) so the airbrush will be out next week to work on the Germans I have to do. There is still that unit of Gendarme kicking around too.

Fine work Ken - always great to see more of your armoured vehicles for the table, particularly as you valiantly overcome the monster of Flakegate. It's also a nice treat to once again see your skill with the tricky "Caunter" camo pattern on these wee tanks.
Another 63 points for you, sir. And take THAT, Flakegate!
