From: TomL A seasonal entry (5pts)

Just a quick entry to start the Challenge.   Lest we forget the true meaning of the season and the best way to live your life, we have Artizan Design's Jacob Marley to remind us of the consequences...

 

Jacob was painted using various acrylics & washes.   One 28mm figure:  5 points 

I am planning on painting mostly "Epic" ACW & BattleTech units with the three themes providing some variation.  My wife joined me recently in retirement, so we are finally getting around to the long-planned trip to Australia & New Zealand. Not being alone all day and a vacation will no doubt impact my painting time but I plan to paint like a madman and finish the backlog. Reality of course will be different but it's good to have a plan!

My potential:

 

Off to prime the last planned entry before we begin the holiday.   

Merry Christmas & happy holidays!

Tom

Welcome back to the Challenge, Tom!

Your Jacob Marley is excellent and a very fitting cautionary tale about working during the Holidays. I see you have A LOT of Battletech waiting for your attention. I hope you've joined David's Big Stompy Robot Challenge as I think you could be a serious contender. Is that some Warlord Epic stuff in the handy box? Very interesting! I look foward to seeing what you have in store over the next few months of the Challenge.

5 points for Mr. Marley! Well done!

From IanS. Merry Christmas Curt (5pts)

Dear All,  

I have retired this year, but only for one day and then back to same role within the NHS. So with part of my lump sum i decided to get a 3d printer and and a new laptop. Needless to say my vast IT skills (NOT) i am still trying to get to grips with my laptop. So no Idea how this post will work out. For the first time i am trying a new scale of 10mm for this Challenge and have a number of armies ready paint and base. 

For my first post for this years challenge i present a small diorama using Pendraken 10mm Christmas figures. Lets hope father Christmas will get to Curt's with presents before the challenge ends.

Santa being lead by Rudolf

Points: 5 x 10mm Foot Figures at 1pt each = 5pts

Welcome back to the Challenge, Ian! 

Retired for a day? That hardly seems fair, I hope the payout was worth it (and I'm sure it was). Well, when you do finally hang up your spurs, you will have a new laptop and 3D printer to show for it.

10mm Christmas dioramas? How neat is that?!  I especially like the winter shrubs and gorse lining his frozen path to my house. Knowing how good I've been this year, that sack of treats he's carrying will be at 1:1 scale... No matter, I'll still offer him and his mates a thimble of rum and eggnog for their efforts! Lovely work Ian and Merry Christmas!
