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 Barks: WesternWorld (Westerns)(30 points)

I have been sitting on these two for a while for a potential limousine/ star yacht/ hot air balloon ride, but couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit the WesternWorld set. These figures are from Great Escape Games. I don't think the sculpts quite catch the attitudes of their inspirations, but have made me consider getting back into Old West gaming. Both figures were undercoated black, drybrushed white, and then a variety of techniques to add colour.

'Maeve Newton' and 'Dolores Wood'

I used GW Sigvald Burgundy Contrast for Maeve's dress and lipstick, it was a perfect colour match. I like the red in her hair accessory.

'Maeve Newton'

A little something hidden away.

I like the colour palette Dolores has.

'Dolores Wood'

2x 28mm figures (10 points)

Western set (20 points)

Inspiration: Westworld (1973)

Thought I'd step in so that you don't have to wait a week for these to be posted. These are really great paint jobs on some nice figures. I can see why you want to get back into western gaming, it is great fun, we play using DaveD's rules which are great fun and very cinematic.
