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 SanderS: Entering the AHPC Studios GmbH (40 points)

Hoi,

Just exactly how many posts I am able to get done this Challenge is a question I can't yet answer since in a few weeks time I will have to start disabling the entire groundfloor of our home for a major home renovation including my man-cave.

Anyway, concerning the Studios entries for this year, I have decided to try and paint figures that are actually derived from movies or TV series. For the SCI-FI entry point I have chosen 4 figures from the Masters of the Universe She-Ra series. They are modelled after the early 80's cartoon, not the more recent and anime-ish version.

This quartet shows the most famous characters from the series: She-ra, Glimmer, Catra and Hordak.

I simply loved painting these outrageous vibrant colours, they just pop don't they?

Arthur and I had a bowl putting the tufts on the bases, I decided early on that wanted to do a purple ground surface depicted one of the more alien areas of Eternia and these tufts just put the dot on the i.

4 figures in 28mm will get me 20 points and together with the 20 of the bonus, that will be another 40.

Cheers Sander

I'm not sure if I ever watched the series when I was younger, but I was aware of it. Lovely work on these figures, Sander. Hopefully the building works won't prove to be too disruptive to your hobbying.
