For the last three months I have been participating in the Painting Challenge and having submitted my last entry I have a chance to review how I did. The short version is I think I did pretty well. My initial target was 300 points which reflected the models I had bought when the challenge started. My final output is a little over 1000 points so you can see I bought a few more figures along the way! I have managed to complete one, sometimes two units a week, while still keeping up with posting on the Challenge blog, here on BLMA and still getting my weekly video for the channel in on time. Time now to dial back the workload, take a deep breath and have a tidy up (the Operations Room is a proper mess!).

Terrific accomplishment, Lee! You grossly under-estimated your initial goal. You smashed your 300 point goal to smithereens and then some.
ReplyDeleteI really wasn't sure how fast I could get through these having not done 28mm figures for ages. My initial target just covered the items I bought prior to the start of the challenge. I should have known I'd get carried away 🤣
DeleteFantastic parade Lee. An amazing achievement.
ReplyDeleteI am exhausted but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
DeleteI can not believe you have done all these in such a sort time. Hope to see you at Salute.
ReplyDeleteThat is the wonder of the painting challenge... I always get more painted in the 3 months of the Challenge than any other time of the year.
DeleteExcellent output on a very fine looking army Lee!
