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 GeoffreyT: The silver bayonet, Canada (35 points)

Hello challengers,

I do very much enjoy The silver bayonet game and the sculpts from Northstar are great, adding some brilliant variety to Napoleonic wargaming which is often typified by endless ranks of similar figures.

This week I am painting some of the miniatures from the Canada range, and have finished six so far. I copied the box art as I have no idea what Canadians wore in 1812. The dude in the middle's jacket looks like a 19th century hi vis equivalent.

Also this week I complete another of the Banhus Miniatures shell creations. This one is like a crab man and might be Useful in Ghost Archipelago.

Seven 28mm foot = 35 points for the tally this week.

Kind regards

Geoff.

From Millsy: Thus far I have resisted the Canada expansion but you're making that a harder ask with these fine fellows Geoff. I'm particularly impressed by the Indian Tracker (I think that's what he is?) with the striped jacket. The preacher/priest is also pretty cool and looks ready to knock some sense into whatever comes his way. Never argue with a ginger armed with a big stick!
