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 TomL: Olson's Raiders (20 points)

This BattleTech unit is another lance painted in Olson's Raiders colors using the disc camouflage stencil.

Base colors were Vallejo Model Air, the weathering and weapons were done with Vallejo model colors. The cockpits were finished with Tamiya clear.

Score:
20 points for 4 figures
4 points for the Stompy robots of death duel.

Thanks Sylvain. There will be a few more units no doubt. Off to take a walk on Coogee beach where it is not covered in snow and 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
