Here's today's update: achievements from Messrs Llano; Luther; Stoesen; Bailey; Weir and Ambler.
Mr Weir also gets full marks for trying to claim a biscuit tin in the painting challenge: full marks, but no points. In consolation, however, the offending item is today's featured picture:
Here's today's update: achievements from Messrs Llano; Hodge; Bax; Stoesen; Nissvik; Slade; Yuengling; and the Mad Padre.
Today's picture? No question but it's got to be Thomas', er, questionable tank. So, Thomas, me old mucker, this fascination with Japanese anime schoolgirls...care to explain?
More achievements...always more achievements!
Today's batch are from: Chris Stoesen; Jon Yuengling; Egg; Topi; Richard Danziger; Warrior in the Attic; I'm also pleased to add pictures of his previous achievements from Craig Ambler.
Three candidates for picture-of-the-update, but I'm going for Dick Bax's 20mm Fallschirmjaeger today:
A late entrant to the campaign: welcome Jim Weir.
Otherwise, vast numbers of achievements from (deep breath): Messrs Clarke, Ralls, Hodge; Lowth; Armstrong; Bax; Ambler; and Bailey.
To celebrate the breaking of his duck, here's Mr Armstrong's achievement: two beautifully painted sci-fi vehciles...ideal for Q13!
The end of another working week, and an impressive list of achievements to be added. Today we have contributions from Chris Stoesen; Mr Luther; Egg; Dave Bailey; Kev; Matt Slade; Alexandros; Jon Yuengling and the Mad Padre.
Today's picture was a toss up between Alexandros' 28mm Churchill (love the stowage) and Egg's 15mm Centurions (a very nice green)...so you get both:
So many more achievements that I can't possibly list them all here. What I will do, though, is feature some very nice Saxon-types for Dux B from munsterfan8.
Oh, okay then...if a job's worth doing...
Achievements from Andy Miller (first timer); Chris Stoesen; munsterfan8 (obviously), Egg, Manuel Llano, Benito (I've corrected your numbers!), Craig, Dave Bailey, Joakim, Jon and Vidal. And there are some more as well!
A few more people have joined up: welcome Egg and Bond, Geoff Bond. I'm looking forward to your first achievements.
And there are new achievements from Topi, Chris, and Mr Bailey. Today's featured shot is from Topi: ten Shermans for his US Normandy forces.
A few more uploads: achievements from Owen, Treadhead and Mr Hodge. Here are some of Derek's 10mm Vietnam figures: a couple of Vietcong platoons plus supports from Pendraken.
Loads of updates today: it's taken me all evening!
In no particular order, we have Kev's first entries (superb ECW troops); David Bailey's catch-up entries; and more from Mssrs Luther, Bax, Yuengling, Ralls, Nissvik and Ambler.
Today's picture? Has to be a close up of some of Kev's ECW troops:
Updated again.
Achievements from Mike Whitaker; munsterfan8; Thomas Nissvik; the Mad Padre; Jason Ralls and (shock, awe) the big man himself, Mr Richard Clarke!
And Kev (Fat Wally) has signed up as well, although he says he's only going to enter the stuff he paints for himself. I say no! Enter it all!
Anyway, as I know what's good for me, today's picture is from Mr Richard Clarke: a rather nice Panzer III from the Western Desert.
Updated again.
A couple of new participants: Stumpy and Alexandros. That makes thirty-six people striving to increase their productivity!
And this weekend saw achievements from Benito, Mr Hodge, myself, Stumpy, Jon Yuengling, and Manuel Llano, with Manuel and Stumpy breaking their ducks.
Today's picture is from Stumpy: a Soviet T-35 with converted T-70 ammo carrier and three T-26 escorts. All in 15mm.
More participants and more achievements for the 2014 Painting Campaign.
Additional participants (in no particular order) are Mark Luther, Leif Eriksson, & Richard Danziger.
Matt Slade smashes his duck with 96 points for some gorgeous 28mm horse, with the Mad Padre right behind with 76 points mostly for nasty German pulp types. Richard Danziger scores 24 points for some lovely 95th Rifles, and Chris Stoesen re-bases a platoon of Italian infantry for 21 points.
Today's photo is a close up of some of Matt Slade's horse:
I'm pleased to be able to add some more names to the participants in the 2014 Painting Campaign, and to record some more achievements.

There have been some big scores notched up already. Jon Yuengling earned 144 points for his twelve 1/6000 ships; Mike Whitaker achieved 106 points for his 106 WW2 British Infantry; and Jason Ralls and Craig Ambler both managed about 60 points for 15mm figures again.
There have been some lovely photographs sent in as well. I'm going to feature two today. First up, Jason Ralls' British WW2 tanks; next, Benito has recorded his first points with a 28mm Italian LMG team.

The end of the year saw the customary collection of posts where Lardies listed their gaming achievements in 2013.
Most prevalent was the recounting of how many figures had been painted over the last twelve months, with posters gasping in amazement at the achievements of some members (especially the professionals) whilst bemoaning their own sad efforts!
Thus was launched the idea of a 2014 TFL Game-Ready Campaign or TFLGRC for short. It's a way for Lardies to collectively track what they have painted over the year, hopefully as a spur to self-improvement and an encouragement to greater productivity.
Details of how to take part are in the links to the left or in the Contents column, as well as the links to where you can see who's managed what so far.
So pick up those dust-covered brushes, bite your thumb at your lead mountain, and join us all in the TFL Game-Ready Campaign!
