Only eight weeks or so to go before the end of this year’s Challenge…and the paint brushes are flying around as people get their last few entries of the year ready.

Today, in no particular order, we have:

• Lots of snake fencing and a squad and a bit of US soldiers for the Bulge from Travis

• Squadrons of WW2 aircraft for the desert of Med from Mark Luther

• Joining Mark on the aircraft production line is Jason Ralls, but he adds some WW2 shipping as well

• Our favourite Valkyrie, Carole, paints a famous shieldmaiden and some Jotuns for her to fight

• Mervyn is clearing some of the more obscure bits of his lead mountain

• Andy Duffell is all slingers and ogres

• There’s a mix of Napoleonics and WW2 from Sapper: they’re all still PBI though

• Lloyd is still painting Aztecs: loads of colours never used before and never to be used again

• More 15mm SYW Austrians from Mr Helliwell

• A mixture of skeletons and samurai from the Hodgemeister

Lots of beautiful paint-jobs on show, so make sure you visit some of the galleries. Clicking on the name of the person will take you straight to their gallery, which will open in a new window so you don’t have to faff around with navigation etc.

Here are a few examples to wet the whistle…
