You can tell everyone has been off on their summer holidays: very few entries into the painting challenge recently. Must confess I'm in the same boat, though: I have Polish cavalry all over my painting table that just won't paint themselves!

Anyhoo, today's entries, in no particular order are:

• Steve Burt submits a very heavy elephant
• Mr Helliwell sends in assorted 15mm WW2 Germans and Soviets.
• Richard Naylor pops in a 6mm anti-tank battery and a lovely T-34
• Mr Plowman has been to Mars, and has the figures to prove it
• Stumpy has been doing some more re-basing
• And Mervyn has been preparing for his Dad's Army re-make in 28mm

Today's pics are from Messrs Naylor, Plowman and Stumpy:
