So the end is near and this is my final post for the challenge. Once again it's been a fab way to spend a winter. The posts and community have as always been amazing, the challengers choice will be a bugger this year, when was it not. Thanks to Curt and the minions for all their hard work and a special mention to Tamsin, the world's greatest air steward without an plane.
I have painted 2 WW1 armies, an unexpected Vietnam project (I've talked DaveD into this so I expect I will need millions more and play on a 20ft by 6ft table), a 3-D map I'm absolutely loving (thank you Mr Roundwood), some other stuff, I failed to complete the chambers of challenge (which is a pity cos it was a great idea, but I'm running out of random fugures to paint) and I made a start on the actual planned army for the challenge, 10mm Renaissance Italian Wars.
It therefore seems appropriate to end on them
Splendid looking renaissance troops and a great all round challenge!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
thanks and thank you for your comments
DeleteExcellent work! I'm an idiot for stradiots. It's always a pleasure to have you with us Martin. I very much enjoyed all your projects, especially the Vietnam and geology themed ones. A great challenge.
ReplyDeletethanks Curt, i almost forgot about Mary Anning
DeleteQuitter ....
ReplyDeleteWe need a proper big table fir Vietnam obviously... just remember you started it
knew we would
DeleteGreat looking Renaissance troops and a staggering output throughout the challenge. Well done Martin.
ReplyDeleteCheers Stuart. I do paint quickly, I have few other distractions outside work
DeleteA very fine final submission. I must say I'm running out of gas also - it has been a pleasure chasing you on the leader board!
ReplyDeletethank you. As always our race has been fun. You are again on my shoulder as we round the final bend
DeletePerfect way to finish, Martin. As always, a pleasure to be rubbing shoulders with you - although, as I've been trailing behind you most of this challenge, perhaps it's not your shoulders I've been rubbing. Agh! Doesn't bear thinking about.
ReplyDeleteHopefully will make it to Hammerhead, and maybe run across you there!
Cheers, your flights of fancy have been a joy to read. Hopefully see you at Hammerhead
DeleteCongratulations, Martin, well done.
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteNot sure if I believe that you’re done. Excellent body of work this year Martin. I’ve really liked seeing these Italian Wars stuff.
ReplyDeletecheers. I'm definitely done. the last figures (the ounted crossbow men) are very ropey
DeleteWell done mate, what a great way to finish.
