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.

From LeeH - Chambers of Challenge - The Tomb - Gothic Vault with Restless Resident

I can imagine the conversation had by the family of the occupant... "If we build him a really outlandish gothic tomb maybe he'll stay dead this time".

I bought this excellent resin crypt from Debris of War before the last Challenge but didn't have time to finish it. It is such a nice model that it couldn't stay unpainted any longer. I really like the resin terrain by this company as it is flawless and paints up really well. The model is pretty small at 3.5"x3"x4" so it is barely a 5th of a terrain cube...but it looks marvellous so it had to be my entry for this round.

The figure is a 1984 Grenadier Zombie which I bought on eBay a few months ago. I couldn't let the poor fella go unpainted any more, and while his torn shirt may once have been expensive and fancy, his tattered appearance now made me feel sorry for him. What can I say, I have a soft spot for zombies.

(Scoring: 1/5th Terrain Cube (4pts) + 1x28mm figure (5pts) + CoC Bonus = 29 Points)

That is a brilliantly overdesigned crypt, Lee! BTW, that zombie was from Grenadier's venerable Call of Cthulhu range (offered as a separate blister pack, I believe).

Nice work Lee. The contrast between the roof and the stonework really shines.

Great pieces Lee. A veteran zombie and a lovely little crypt. The crypt could appear on a lot of historical battlefields.

Looking excellent Lee! But from the looks of it the fancy tomb didn't really keep it's occupant from returning to harass the living.
