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 Iain W: 28mm Napoleonic Austrian Command (50 points)

Here are four Foundry command figures and one Eagle or maybe Trent command figure? I got them at the first post covid Salute, which was half empty and something of a disappointment, plus Dave Thomas who stocks Perry metal figures were squashed into a tiny space and was unable to put out any Napoleonic Austrians, which obviously was all I wanted! I went elsewhere so we have Foundry's duke Charles and additional staff mounted on Foundry 's diminutive horses, I've mounted them on some plastic to give them a bit of height, the Eagle commander is a little stiff and his horse seems to have overlong legs but I figure he's good enough.

5 x 10 gives me 50 points, enough I hope to reach this years target, thanks to Curt, Sarah,Peter, all the minions and everybody taking part it's been an excellent distraction from the bleak midwinter and as a bonus I have recovered from my knee injury and can start running again!

All the best.

Iain

I know they weren't your first choices for figures, but they are wonderful looking command stands, Iain. Besides, EVERYTHING looks better with a bicorne on it. :)

Thank you for joining us again this year. I always appreciate seeing your encouraging comments and enthusiastic work. Enjoy your runs these next few seasons - I look forward to seeing you next winter!
