PAINTING CHALLENGE WRAP-UP!!!
Well, February is well and truly over and with it the Painting Challenge has officially come to an end!
A big shout out to everyone who participated! This year the Painting Challenge really did have the emphasis on the CHALLENGE side of things, proving to be a month-long gruelling painting marathon.
One of the hardest things about doing this wrap-up is having to acknowledge that not everyone was able to complete it, with some people missing out by the barest of margins.
So, to go back over the Challenge rules…in order to successfully complete the Painting Challenge, a participant must:
1) Have fully painted at least 14 Traders Galaxy miniatures. The painting of these miniatures must commence and conclude entirely within the month of February.
2) Paint these models for at least 30 minutes each day.
3) Create a post on the Facebook page for their Painting Challenge, picturing the models they will paint (though more could be added as the month progressed). Each and every day they are to add a comment to that post (tagging Cornelius) with a photo of the paint work that was done that day. Missing this would count as failing the challenge.
Needless to say, this all sounds fairly simple, but in practice is quite the challenge. Of the 15 people who started the Challenge, 10 managed to successfully run the course.
So, on to the juicy goodies! PRIZES!!
