Apologies for the lack of posts over the last week: real world and all that! Work is always crazy busy at this time of year, so just no time to process anything.

Leaving all that aside, here's a massive painting challenge update: everybody getting their entries in before the end of the year!

• Thomas makes a welcome return and, much to everyone's surprise, pops in a few 28mm figures
• Doug Melville has markers and a couple of 28mm WW2 squads
• Lloyd Bowler has gone all Roman on us, and enters a mass of lovely 28's and some galleys
• Mr Helliwell has been re-basing like crazy
• Mervyn has been as busy as I am, but still manages a handful of figures
• Matt Slade sends in his usual army of 28's, plus another army's worth of re-basing. The man is a machine!
• Mr Hooge remembers the Alamo with some US Mexican War 15's
• Ralph teases with three beautifully painted entries as we cry out for more
• And last, but not least, Mr Naylor sends in a mass of 6mm WW2 armour

Today's pictures are from Doug, Lloyd, Mervyn and Ralph:

The scorecard will be updated either tonight or tomorrow night: depends when I get onto my other PC!
