Hello! Hello! This is another Mish Mash of miniatures painted. I will begin in Section One with the "Children's Books" topic. I painted a metal Reaper miniature, The Magician. It looks like the old comic, Mandrake The Magician. The comic strip began in 1934 and ran until 2013.
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.

Zombicide, Greeks, Fallout, terrain, and Trucks! (446 points)
I made my way to Section Two and made a stop at the Local History topic for some research on the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. There are quite a few characters to read about such as Wyatt Earp and the Earp brothers, The McLaury brothers, Big Nose Kate, Sheriff Stilwell, Doc Holliday and so much more! Doc Holliday was a gambler, gunfighter, and dentist. Below is Zombicide Undead or Alive miniature of Doc in the movie "Tombstone" sculpt.
Afterward, I moved on down to Section 4 The Rotunda. I stopped by the Literature Topic and picked up a very cool Star Wars Novel by Timothy Zahn. He is responsible for The Star Wars Thrawn series(3 books). Very well written and anyone into the Star Wars lore will have a blast reading his books. I painted the Star Wars Imperial Assault Grand Admiral Thrawn miniature. Of course, this miniature game ended in 2019, but the miniatures are still available.
I was feeling crafty so I stopped in the DIY topic and began to build some easy-to-make miniature wargaming "mountains" I cut up insulation foam, which you can find at any hardware store. Shaped them up to my liking and glued them together. I added drywall spackle for texture. Primed them up and added the color. Dry brushed them and added some tufts. Done!
Before:
After:
I used the "cube" rule for scoring. I put "Robb" (32mm) next to the terrain for size comparison. But, I will leave this up to you, Greg.
I would sacrifice "Janie," a Zombicide Undead or Alive Survivor for using The Library Cart. I would skip over to Section 3 and check out the Saguaros of Arizona in the Nature" topic. I love my State 48!
The cacti were printed from my Elegoo Neptune Pro 3D Printer. I figure they can also be scored as scatter terrain.
Ok. I will end my tour of the Library there! Next are the miniatures I painted during the 3 weeks from my last turn-in.
The Great Zanzibar from Zombicide Black Plague. Aka Freddy Mercury of one of the best rock bands of all time, Queen!
Mitch from Zombicide Rue Morgue, has seen it all. I wonder if he ever met Negan?
Please welcome, Rob(aka Kevin Costner from the movie Open Range) from Zombicide Undead or Alive.
Ok, next I painted up some Fallout Wasteland miniatures. I introduce to you, Moira Brown, Three Dog, and Lucas Sims!
Moira Brown
Three Dog!!!!
Lucas Sims
I always like to change the pace when painting minis. So I painted this Footsore miniature from the Mortal Gods game, Phatis, Athenian Promachos.
Next are more Greeks!!!! I have here 14 Greeks. I am only 5 Greek minis away from completing the Warlord Games Greek Starter Army!!! I admit this is fun, but also a lot of work!
I have finally completed all the Zombicide Toxic City zombies(17)! Thanks to this cool paint challenge! Here is the rest of them! Yay!
A close-up of the Abomination
I finished 8 more Zombicide Undead or Alive "Runners"
I live in Arizona and I will admit this beast would be a nightmare to deal with! I painted a Zombicide Undead or Alive Abomination, The Cactus Queen. This mini stands well over 54mm! Check it out!
Next, I painted 2 15mm trucks from Team Yankee.
SCORING:
28/32mm x 47 = 235pts.
15mm Vehicles = 16pts.
54mm(Cactus Queen) x 1 = 10pts.
Children's Book Topic = 20pts.
Local History Topic = 20pts.
Literature Topic = 20pts.
DIY Topic = 20pts.
Library Cart = 20pts.
Nature Topic = 20pts.
Cacti Scatter terrain = 5pts.
Mountain Scatter Terrain x 3 = 60pts? (20pts each terrain. They roughly fill a 6" square cube)
Total = 446pts?
***
I guess it is, indeed, 446 points.
