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.

Adamc: Gunboats and Brig (40 Points)

Some more vessels to hopefully bring me across the line. A small brig made from the leftover parts used to build my sloop and six large gunboats.

The Gunboats are more 3D prints courtousy provided by my friend Arofan. I added masts and a sort of lug sail. They will make good gunboats or even French lugers privateers.

Here we have a 14 gun brig (the standard Black Seas brig is an 18 gun brig) I've flagged her as English and named her the HMS Sophie of Master and Commander fame.

I did her hull in red brown with yellow not the colors described in Master and Commander but it looks good. She could also work as USS Enterprise in her War of 1812 configuration as a brig. For points I'll suggest 5 points per gunboat and 10 for the brig. That should give me 40 points carrying me pasty goal for the year (this is the latest I have ever hit my goal and I wasn't sure it was going to happen). All this is subject to review of course.
