CHALLENGE ROUNDUP

 I know this may seem late, but I wanted everyone to have plenty of time to get up any last minute models, then there is the time it takes to compile, especially with a two month challenge, but enough excuses on with the show.

azazelx created a wide range of submissions over the challenge including a vehicle, on top of all the individual models he painted.

Mark finished his Conquistador project with some great units, including some less well known ones.

Keith not only finished his current Star Trek miniatures but also got in a diorama, and another individual model on top.

Ivor changed his goal as he felt the ship needed extra parts that may have been difficult to get hold of at the moment and completed models from multiple genres and scenery as well.

Roger completed not only his Blood Bowl team, and Elvira model, but got in some additional 10 mm native Americans as well.

John managed to finish a load of WW2 vehicles, with some really obscure ones, and managed to paint pretty much one of every medium currently available to a modeller.

Simon not only completed his Blake's 7 models but managed to finish a load of Super models on top.

Joe managed to finish off  a mighty fine stall he made, and made great progress on his Chinese for the Wild West which he also converted, and are in 54 mm

Mick not only finished off many Nurgle models, but also worked in some Eldar too.

Matt once he had a painting area again was up and running with these mighty fine submissions.

Many thanks to all who took part, and all of your output, made this a good event which I may well make into a yearly event.

For myself I think I got a bit distracted with Fembruary and didn't actually finish my unit of Land speeders, but hopefully I can correct that with Ann's march-2021-neglected-painting-challenge and must also get round to posting up some T-shirts for Luke's Challenge so many to choose from ! LOL

That's all for this post, so until next time stay safe and have fun !

Cheers Dave

SPACE ANOTHER FRONTIER

 recently on one of my posts, Dai mentioned about running a campaign with the armies I had for 40K, and I mentioned that wasn't a bad idea as I had gothic fleets for all but one as well.

So I went looking for my fleets and found I'd only really done test pieces on each, so hadn't got very far at all, and decided it was about time to remedy this, and decided to do my transport ships first, I wasn't happy with the test colour so have painted all of these this week.

These are basic transport ships, they have very little armament but substantial engines to make them quick.

The second batch look to be a type of silo carrier, again little in the way of weapons for defence but a good bank of engines.

This last bunch were made by Forgeworld as tankers, the standard configuration are the two in the middle, but I thought it would be cool to have a quick single tank and also a super tanker as well. Out of all the transport vessels these are my favourite, and look to be equipped with missile launchers in the prow, or that's at least what I'm going to play them as.

These will all count towards Ann's neglected model challenge this month, as I've had these models for far too many years ! LOL

I haven't forgotten about the challenge roundup, that should be my next post, as I wanted to make sure I had all the entries, so until next time stay safe and have fun !

Cheers Dave
