As the end of the year approaches, it's time for everyone to start sending in their last entries of the year...so here's the latest batch.

In no particular order, we have:

• David Scott with some US engineers and infantry
• More Dark Ages types from Mervyn: allegedly his last entry of the year
• Derek "Rockatansky" Hodge is out in the Badlands
• A huge entry from John de Terre Neuve: some lovely WW2 desert 6mm kit
• Mr Helliwell is, as ever, still painting furiously: ACW and TYW from him.
• Egg is still on the moderns: always makes me break the 10th Commandment!
• Steve Burt has donned an eye patch an stuck the inflatable parrot to his shoulder: arrrr, Pyrates!
• And last, but by no means least, Ed Bowen has some Shock counters and Deployment points for SP AWI

As always, clicking on the name of the person will take you straight to their gallery (opens in a new window).

Today's pre-Christmas pics are:

Time for me to get back to the painting table myself. Last year I managed 1,219 points. This year I'm on 1,204 points, with a unit of twenty-four 15mm infantry undercoated and ready to be painted. If I can finish them before the end of the year, that's me just over last year's score. All hail the Painting Challenge!

Plenty of time to get the last of your entries in: the Challenge doesn't close until midnight on the 31st!
