Still on Prep.

yep still on the prep for the Analogue painting challenge. Not that I have done a lot. Mostly ordering stuff. Today  2 parcels. 1 is a load of "Tufts" from eBay so I don't run out in the challenge. But I can still order some more before the challenge ends.... and I am sure I will.

The other was a figure order for 2 6mm starter armies from Heroics and Ros.{ Click this link )
needles to say as starter armies there are lots of extras I can (and no doubt will) get to add. And If I can pick them up unpainted 2nd hand from eBay or Colonel Bills I will, that is  for sure (assuming I can save money).

I am also working on some counters for the game I have planned but until they are finished I will not be showing them. When they are finished I will be doing a quick walk through of the making process. But at  this stage there is little that will make any sense on its own.

Ao pretty much a nothing post today as I clean up the H+R order. That is how the painting challenge starts for me as I have "Mostly" cleared my painting desk ready to start. There are a couple of things still loitering though so I may get on with them in the next couple of days, but I am waiting now for the Analogue painting challenge to start.

All the best from warm (I am in a tee shirt) but overcast Kent.  Cheers Clint

  2. Yes the mighty prep, I have also been doing plenty of this though I like you have a number of bits finishing that I probably would not touch once the Challenge has started if I don't finish them before the clock stars a ticking

    1. Thank you Ian. I have mixed feelings about finishing some things. I think I may keep a couple of started things ready to finish during the challenge but not submit them to the challenge as I do not want to rush them. I also have things on my painting table that are just collecting dust.

    1. Thanks Blax. I am sure much of my stuff will be a disappointment as no one can enjoy every period and every scale.

    1. Thanks Fran LOL. I also need stronger meds and a rest afterwards. Feeling good though as last night while rummaging for old figures (actually for the Gambler/risk taker bonus round) I did find a unit and a half unpainted for the 6mm stuff. So a Bonus as far as I am concerned and I have no recollection of purchasing them.

  8. Am in the same boat still for prep here.. almost everything is assembled at the moment, but I am finding that I am a bit short for the points I planned for.. need to keep assembling.. thankfully there is quite the backlog queue sitting around :D

    Looking forward to seeing your work and how you progress over the next 3 months!

    1. Thank you Kyle. I have three kits to make up. However as I want to paint the interiors I cannot really get started on them just yet.

      As for whether I will reach my target. I hope so but no guarantees, but a lot easier if you go for the bonus points!

    1. Thank you Ptr. I can only say a few words of Swedish and Nothing appropriate to a wargamer! I appreciate your kind words. However I will slow my blogging down a little in the run up to the painting challenge and also during the challenge.
