PAINT WHAT YOU GOT CHALLENGE 2022/23 ROUNDUP

 As promised here is the roundup from this years challenge, if you didn't see these on their own sites, I recommend checking out all the extra pictures they have, just follow the links above each persons section.

rantingsfromunderthewargamestable Roger cleared a lot of outstanding projects including some that were hidden in the loft.


justneedsvarnish John finished off a wide variety of subject material.


pmpainting Matt, had a wide variety of subject material and was a advert for what you can find on Etsy.

markamorin Mark did a lot for his OZ project, and some great scenery for his feudal patrol games as well.


dagreenhorde Snapfit,  did some great Orks and even some Ogres.

kuribospainting Jeff got a lot more done than he expected to.


azazelx Azazael had a bumper crop again, can't believe how many models he gets done every year.


doubledowndice Brian got a lot done to, mostly from the Fantasy genre, but some others to.


I managed a few models mostly Star Wars related ( no surprise there) and even got a vehicle that has been part built for well over 22 years finished.


Thank you to all the participants, and their followers for all their support, this year was another great one with so many and diverse as well. If I have missed anyone's entries just let me know and I'll do a follow up post, so until next time stay safe and have fun !

Cheers Dave

    1. No naming or shaming with this challenge Dai, as we all know life can throw you a curve ball or two, and make it impossible to get anything done mate, the support you have given on so many blogs, is worth it's weight in gold.

    1. No problem Roger, it's all about sharing and support for each other, and finding that next cool blog to visit ! LOL does mean less time for painting of course ! LOL trying to speed up my painting, so I have the time to keep up with all the blogs I follow. You put out some stellar work this year mate, the camo pattern was phenomenal, and I find we are all elevating our game with the people we associate with.

  9. How did I manage to get that much done?! It never feels like I'm all that productive with the slow pace that I paint but I guess I did alright. Thank you for putting this together, Dave and its an honor to be among such esteemed company. All of us do some impressive work when you think about it!

    1. I remember right at the beginning you saying I might be able to do a little scenery piece, and then you managed so much more, when your display piece changed. We are part of a great community and long may it continue.

  10. Thanks for hosting this Dave and I look forward to taking part again next year! If I may, I have one suggestion to make...can I be posted before Azazel next time. He's a hard act to follow with all that quantity and quality!! He probably would have doubled that had Leonard not wounded him! Seriously though, some great looking minis and thanks for taking the time to cull all the pictures and put it together. You're awesome! Now off to pester Matt about how much of a kickback he gets from Etsy....

    1. No problem Brian, I'll try to remember not to put you after Azazael ! LOL My normal method for the order is in order of the comments left when the challenge is set, just to make sure I don't miss anybody. I think we'll have to start calling Matt, mr Etsy like Roger calls me Mr Star Wars ! LOL
