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 SarahHC: Acquisitions Librarian [New Acquisitions](30 Points)

Hello and Happy New Year Everyone!

Although I’ve had a slow start this year, it is terrific to be back in the Challenge

and I’m excited to be part of the tremendously talented Team Tuesday!

This years Library Challenge Theme is quite exciting…. I have many great ideas and I hope my burgeoning paint skills are up to the task!

I had hoped to present a couple of figures today, but alas, only one made it to completion. (Three other figures are currently on the painting desk …. So we’ll see how life/work/painting schedules work out for next weeks submission.)

My first Challenge entry is one of Analogueville’s Public Library formidable Front Desk/New Acquisitions Librarians. As one of Senior Librarian Tamsin’s dedicated crew, this blue haired matron is a formidable keeper-of-knowledge. I decided on a white dress as nod to women’s suffrage movement, ecclesiastical robes, white magick etc., and her blue hair/blue socks as a nod to the Victorian Bluestockings.

This figure is one of many, too many in fact! that I’ve found as a print from MyMiniFactory (a 3d sculpt from PolyGrim). I am always astonished at the sheer variety of figures so easily available!

Many thanks to our SnowLord for interrupting his own print queue for my own little projects😊

Full disclosure.. Curt did the final touch on her glasses, pinned & based the figure and photographed her. (Way beyond my skill set.)

The Librarian is a New Acquisition, printed just before Christmas, she is a 54mm figure whom I think captures the spirit of this years Challenge. Support your Library!

A very valuable and redoubtable addition to the Library Staff indeed, milady! You did a great job on her, I really like the hair colour that certainly puts Mrs. Slocombe to shame. Yes, MyMiniFactory is a sort of Alladin's Cave isn't it? I am sure we are all looking forward to what else you have in store for us! That's 30 points to get you on the road to your target.
