PAINT WHAT YOU GOT 2025/2026

 Yes it's that time of year to start the next challenge, for anyone not familiar with this challenge it's all about getting models finished, so it doesn't matter if it the model is almost finished or brand new from a box you got for Christmas it's about finishing part of your hoard of models ! LOL Everything counts, single models entire armies ( probably talking smaller scales on that) scenery vehicles, if it's a model in your collection it counts, and whatever scale you prefer as well. The start date is the 26 th of December 2025, until the 28th of February 2026. Just in case you need some inspiration here are some of last years entries :


Hope you can join in and take part, even if it is only one model, it's an achievement, if you want to take part, leave a comment below, or email me at wargamesterrainworkshop.co.uk if I don't currently follow your blog, please leave a link to your blog. All that remains is to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, or whichever holiday you celebrate, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave

    1. No problem Iain, with how it has to shown on the blog first it would be hard to include them elsewhere, but great to have you on board.

  6. You can definitely count on me this year! Since I'm trying to wrap up a display project before Christmas, I think there's reason to think I might focus on some gaming stuff and actually get a few things done for the challenge which will be a nice contrast from last year.

  10. Hi Dave, your painting challenge is a great idea. Mister C has persuaded me to take part although I am not sure what I will paint yet. My own blog can be found at: https://thewarcrow.blogspot.com/

    Count me in, Dave! :-) I've dropped behind a bit on painting so could do with a challenge to get me moving again! I'm thinking it'll probably be mostly Victorian sci-fi stuff bt I could easily be wrong about that!

  13. Hi Dave I am doing Ahpc again - have gathered lots of “not started” stuff some from ahpc15 and even ahpc14! Needless to say ditto applies for “paint what you got”, so I will try again to weave them together. I am hoping to get some volume done as unlike the last two ahpc’s I have no plans for scratch built space ships, Nissan huts or aeroplane building, bang in the middle of these challenges! So I do have a nice range of half started, half finished and almost finished figures begging to be part of this challenge. Lorenzo the wargaming erratic

  14. As I've been shockingly lax in doing anything hobby-related the tail end of this year, I think this is the incentive I need to actually finish off all those part completed projects staring at me accusingly from my bookcase. Count me in, Dave!

    1. Great to have you on board Jez, and if the challenge helps get some models finished, it's done it's job.
