The first update of the new quarter, and loads of achievements to report. The thought of adding to the lead mountain at Salute has obviously galvanised people into action!

Today's entries are from Dick Bax; Mark Luther; Jon Yuengling; Leif Erikson; WillieB; Fat Wally; Jason Ralls; and the Mad Padre.

Today's pictures are from Kev and WillieB. 

Here are Kev's 15mm Seven Year War Russian Grenadiers

Some of WillieB's fifty 28mm newly-painted Marines de la Garde Imperiale:

TFL Painting Challenge: End of Q1

Originally posted 30th March 2014

As it's the end of the first quarter, I'm going to set up a new list of Achievements i.e. where the details and the photographs are displayed. 

This is both to encourage those who might be put off by the long lists of everyone else's achievements, and to ease the loading of the Achievements page, which has grown into a bit of a monster! 

The Scorecard page remains the same and will total everyone's scores for the whole year, it's just the Achievements that will be split by quarter.

The final list of achievements for Q1 2014 come from:  the Mad Padre; Jason Ralls; Chris Stoesen; Dave Bailey; Jim Weir; and Craig Ambler-Gambler.

Today's picture from Jim Weir: lots of 20mm WW1 Germans. Only the French to do now, Jim!

Plenty of achievements listed in the last few days, but nearly all from the usual suspects. Those of you who haven't painted much this year (and you know who you are) need to get those brushes out! 

Today's achievements are from:  Vidal Bairos; Jason Ralls; Leif; Mr Luther; and Egg. Here are Egg's Italian tanks:

My call to action seems to have had an effect: I have been inundated with achievements!

In no particular order we have more from Mr Hodge (sterling work, pun intended); Jon Yuengling; WillieB; Matt Slade; Mr Bax; Mr Bailey and Mr Plowman.

Today's picture is from Dave Bailey: some nice Resistance fighters from Peter Pig:

A few achievements for early March:  Stumpy continues re-basing like mad (277 infantry counted at half points); Mr Treadhead builds some buildings; Manuel gets ahead of himself by painting double the usual number of Franks; Mr Luther braves the cold to finish his next batch; and Chris Stoesen completes the Peter Pig Viking Longship.

Today's picture is Chris' Viking Longship:

TFL Painting Challenge: Duck-Breakers

A few duck-breakers this update. Pingu opens his innings with a septet of 28mm Zombie figures; WillieB bursts onto the scene with seventy 28mm WW1 figures (lulling us into a false sense of security, eh?); and Mr Ploughman enters the lists with fifteen 28mm figures.

Elsewhere we have achievements from Messrs Luther; Ström; and Bailey (the man is a machine!); Owen; Craig Ambler; and Danziger.

Today's pic is a little one from WillieB:

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!
