... bought them at Battleground the other weekend, and now they've featured in the Interweb's Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge!

Not done yet but mine will be bases for villages and towns.
Excellent, looking good!

Cheers all.
I'm also going to be painting up some Pendraken Zulus for this Painting Challenge (using some more Minibits' bases) and hopefully I can then enter them into this forum's painting comp' next year, if one's being held.
Some more 25mm Circular MDF bases bought at the Battleground Show - although Warbases are donating a prize to the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge I do keep plugging your MDF bases on the posts that I make during the Challenge.

I particularly like to dog :)
Very nice work. 8)
Very good basing work.
Nice colourful figures on complementary bases, good stuff.
Very nice work, I'll have to point John at Ironclad towards those!

Thanks everyone. :)
Those two Ironclad figures were some of the items I bought from them at Battleground, in fact.
I'm going to go and dig out those 10mm Zulus I've got somewhere and begin putting some paint on them, then I can actually post some of your own models on here and over on the Challenge blog.
Those are terrific !!
Cheers - Phil
Cheers Techno.
I'm going to post these here, since there's only two models. Again, they've been entered into the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge, and here's the link:

Or, here's the link for them on my blog:

Anyway, promoting out the way, the photo's -

I had great fun painting these and am planning on creating something for the Lion Rampant rules (so Leon, expect an order from me in January, asking if I can come and collect from Pendraken HQ if possible).
Also, thanks everyone for commenting on my work. It's most appreciated.
They're excellent, Roy. Full of character - which is very difficult on small figures. :-bd
Those are superb. Really really great looking figures. Wonder how many will appreciate they are 10mm in the competition?
Thank you both.
So far everyone who's left a comment on the post has appreciated that they're 10mm - one gentleman referred to them as "tiny blobs" so he definitely appreciates the scale (though not the sculpts) :)
No, they've been well received and a couple of people have mentioned an interest in 10mm for future purchases, so I'll keep banging "Pendraken Miniatures" into posts and they should come to Leon ;D
My plugging of Pendraken MDF bases might just be working, if today's development on the Challenge's website is any indication.

You'll all notice the huge advertising for another companies MDF bases [they're sponsoring a specific days of blogging, it seems]
Brilliant! I'm Don Draper. Now where's my saucy secretary?! ;D ;D
Another Minibits' base being being put to good use:
Still working on this - I think I've been too generous with the battle damage to the shield? Maybe just a slash! Anyway, I've asked a few people I know who are up on these things, so I'll no doubt find out soon.

Lovely bit of work Roy ;)
Personally, I like the shield damage; you've done it really well.
Shield damage looks good to me also!! :-bd
Looks great!
Thank you.
I wasn't sure how a shield design / paintwork would appear when battle damaged. Mainly as to what covered the wood, as if it was simply paint then I don't think it would have appeared as I've painted it.
So far I've been told that shields could have the designs painted straight onto the wood. Leather hides attached with a design painted onto the leather. In some instances fabrics or silks being used to cover a shield and the design applied to these materials.
I like it and so do the others who've commented, so that's all that matters really.
Thanks again.
Yeah, only thing is I've now got to give it away and ship it to Canada (when finished that is) :(

How does that work? :(
The painting challenge blog thing runs through early December to late March.
During that time one man is running the whole logistics of it all and sorting out all the points calculations and votes that are all part of the challenge. It's his baby, if you know what I mean.
When you agree to take part, you agree to the fact that their is a payment to be made, which is in the form of a 28mm figure painted by yourself and fitting into the overall theme of that years event.
This figure is sent off to the man who organises it all (he's some sort of archivist / record keeper by trade) and they join the 'museum' of payment figures he's amassed over the last few years.
As a participant there is various incentives to take part; the increased publicity to your blog / painting service (whatever) and the chance to win hobby items throughout the challenge, items donated by the companies that support it.

Cracking idea ;)
I'm not 100% happy with the violet bikini, as it looks like it's made from PVC. So it may be repainted in the future. Also, the black 'woman's' left shoulder needs tidying up.

Love it!
Personally, I see nothing wrong with a PVC bikini and she's toting an AK, so who's going to argue? ;)
I've just been talking about the cause of the shininess over on a FB group. The Vallejo paint's the culprit, so I'm going to try a pin-wash to see if it'll act as a matting agent.
whoops: forgot to add; thank you :-[

Vallejo's matt varnish would get rid of the shine ;)
Yes, in truth they've not been varnished yet. Partly due to the atrocious weather, partly because I'm not happy with that bikini and will varnish when I've sorted it.
Oh well done!
Awesome. =D> =D> =D>
Sorry Roy, that was for some minis I just looked at.
Don't know what happened there at all :-\
;D
I actually thought that's what had happened. No worries :)
I've since added another contrast coat of paint to the purplish bikini. The lighter layer of paint has finished the bikini perfectly and has allowed for some subtle shading between the strap and cup of the bikini top.

Where else could you read that! ;D
