It's the same few regulars updating their scores, including Kev, who seems to have gone crazy at the painting. So come on the rest of you:  get busy!

It's been a quiet week: doubtless everyone savings themselves for Salute this weekend. I'll be there, hovering close to the TFL stand, so do come and say hello.

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 pictures are from Kev and WillieB.

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!

TFL Painting Challenge: Egg's Italians

Originally posted 23rd March 2014

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:

TFL Painting Challenge: Duck-Breakers

Originally posted 27th February 2014

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:

Here's today's update: achievements from Messrs Llano; Luther; Stoesen; Bailey; Weir and Ambler.

Mr Weir also gets full marks for trying to claim a biscuit tin in the painting challenge: full marks, but no points. In consolation, however, the offending item is today's featured picture:
