Morning all on this unseasonably sunny Sunday morning in Ireland.
We are approaching 1 year of this forum and I've noticed two things about myself. Firstly my blog is ore or less dormant and secondly I haven't painted anything Oldhammery. The second is probably true of a number of people here too (not all of us a as prolific as Thansants, Blue or Harry to name but a few) I've been watching the wonderful stuff painted for the LPL over on LAF and noticed a few other fora have painting challenges so it made me think - why don't we do something similar here?
What I'm suggesting isn't a competition as such more that a group of like minded individuals set themselves a challenge of painting a unit a month and post the results here. I was thinking people could email a group shot of the unit in bare lead/undercoated to me on the 1st of the month and I could post all the entries into one thread. Then as the units are finished if they emailed me the finished results I would post them at the end of the month. Points could be awarded for size of unit, length of time and then a public vote at the end. Keep it simple and use it more to encourage the slow amongst us to get stuff painted.
What do people think?
