2018 painting challenge: reduce the mountain some more!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Great work

[petercooman]

Thanks all!

Have swapped out one picture, as i forgot to take one after i attached reins to the horses 

The town scene will have to do without reins i'm afraid (i already put the town to the side)

341

Thanks! I hope i make 500 this year. Already made my goal of 10 complete forces, but more is always better!

[petercooman]

Ordered 465 10 mm  dudes. A decent injection to make the lead hillock into a mountain again.

Despite looking at doing Hastings or macedonian vs indian, i settled for rome vs carthago. The (Newer) range just lured me in!

They are a lot of fun to paint!

I look forward to doing the elephants!

I also just managed to finish my final entry for the painting comp. Painted a vehicle especially for the competition. First time i do this. Normally i just use something i painted.This means it is wargames standard. I tried to go a bit above that with my entry now. I'll post it immediately.

[petercooman]

Just posted another entry in the single base category! Didn't think i would have finished it!

I also painted up some objective markers. Nothing special and just a quick paintjob, but will do the trick! (old metal models from the original warzone range)



And got some zouaves going for my acw armies:




So adding the models from the competition and the objective markers: add 24 models (including the acw cavalry for the painting comp i forgot to count a week or 2 ago) to the total count: 365 models painted!

Nicely done. Just about to break out through 1800!

Going smooth!

Going to start painting a wee bit more if i can. Didn't focus on paintng the last two weeks, inbetween going to the zoo, amusement parks, and putting my order togheter for the punic war stuff (and work), there was not much time left over. Should be a bit better now, but still, that can change quite fast!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Sounds like a great two weeks!

[petercooman]

Sounds like a great two weeks!

Can't complain!


Just mounted the new mouslings on bases, Well 5 cent pieces as i was out of bases  .

Looks like the armies of the forest critters are amassing steadily! Will the painting stop one day? Doesn't look like it!





The plain white bones miniatures are a pain to photograph!

Look forward to seeing those, once they've been 'under the brush', Peter !

Cheers - Phil
