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.

From TobiasK: 28mm Afghan insurgents with heavy weapons (40 points)

Hello fellow painters,

I painted two heavy weapon teams for Afghanistan this week. The miniatures are from Eureka Miniatures. Their range of modern wargaming stuff is top-notch. But without further ado, here are the pictures.

1. SPG-9 73mm Recoilless Rifle with Afghan Guerrilla crew

2. 12.7mm Dshk MG on AA mount with two Afghan crew

Group shot:

Bookkeeping:

2 x crew served weapons (28mm) = 2 x 10 = 20 points
4 x crew (28mm) = 4 x 5 = 20 points

From Millsy

Smashing work on these guys Tobias! Your colour choices are wonderful, set off by some really natural looking basing. I especially like the way you've spread the groundcover out in clumps which is very convincing indeed. You sold yourself short of the points mate neglecting the crew, so I have doubled your score to 40 points. Enjoy!
