TFL Painting Challenge: Update

Originally posted 5th April 2014

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:
