Hello everyone
Well that went quick, didn't it?
Can't believe the Challenge is over for another year.
I'm already thinking about, what I can get ready for December and Challenge 15????
Thanks got to Curt & Sarah for all their hard work setting up and throughout the Challenge. Thanks to my Minion Teemu, and to all the other Minion's, I know how much time it took out of my painting schedule, when I was a minion!! Lastly a big thanks you to all you other Challengers who all help to make this Challenge what it is today. Especially those who found the time to comment on my posts, I really appreciate the encouragement.
Austrian Lothrengin Infantry & Bavarian Arco Horse
Ottoman Infantry, El Cid statue, St Dominic fountain, Highland Cattle, Star Wars AT AT's
Haitian Revolution Infantry and Cavalry
127 x 25mm infantry figures
20 x 25mm Cavalry figures
The rest were various scales
2 x 1/1200 scale ships
1 x 54mm figure
3 x 2/6mm figures
In total 153 figures.
I always try and aim for a top 30 finish and top 10 finish would be preferred, but I'd have had to paint up another 600 points worth for 10th place, so was not achievable. I'd like to think my illness played a big part in that, but I'm not convinced that I could have painted up another 600 points worth of figures, if I had another month to paint!!!

Great job, Ray, but do I really need to use my Minion powers to resizd your photos? :)
ReplyDeleteDon't know what you mean, Teemu???
DeleteThey look good now, I don't know who resized them. :)
DeleteNice variety to your challenge output this year.
ReplyDeleteCheers Tom.
DeleteGreat challenge Ray. I think retirement is the only way to get more painting time in! See you at Salute.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that!
DeleteDoesn’t work… you end doing other stuff!
DeleteGreat work,again Ray .
ReplyDeleteCheers Dave.
DeleteGreat work Ray. Take care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteYou too Peter!
DeleteFabulous work Ray. I always loved your 17th century entries and your Haitian Napoleonics. You've been one of the Challenge's most consistent participants - thank you!
ReplyDeleteNo problem Curt, lovin every minute of it.
DeleteWell done, Ray!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barks.
DeleteSuper output - squirrelsome too. Love the record of challenges past - did you have to keep this record yourself or is there a Challenge Data Repository somewhere?
ReplyDeleteI did keep a record, but asked Miles, the keeper of all that is good, for his records on my input. It's nice knowing what you've got to beat, each year.
DeleteChallenge 2 - The Sandbag year!
Deletenice variety Ray - never seen Haitian's in paint before so thats a first, thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad you liked them.
DeleteI always enjoyed your posts as the figures were so far out of where I would even think to game, I wish you the best and that your health improves my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kent. I do like the not so normal periods!
DeleteGreat job, and as Curt says, a consistent participant to the challenge. Though I suspects more sandbagging from you like years gone past... something to plan for next year perhaps? :D
ReplyDeleteI'm stocking up as we speak.
DeleteGreat to see you around, you are such a familiar face in the Challenge! Hope your health improves during the year and next Challenge you top the points list!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too Benito, thank you.
DeleteGreat variety Ray; and I have really enjoyed your Haitian project since joining The Challenge.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you approve Sir!
DeleteGreat output Ray! I loved your Haitian and Donnybrook figures, and your cheery posts. See you again next year!
ReplyDeleteThanks and will do!
DeleteFabulous Ray. Great to view and engage with you again. All the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bruce!
DeleteA fine record, and well done again this year Ray.
