Good to see that so many of you have made such an early start to this year's challenge. Makes me feel slightly guilty about not having visited the painting table for a couple of weeks!

So, in no particular order, we have the first entries of the year from:

• Andrew Helliwell, with a mixture of pike and medievals
• A quick Somua APC from Jon Yuengling
• More pirates, me hearties, from Steve Burt
• Carole Flint has built a stronghold for Hoardes
• New participant, Chris Cornwall, starts his challenge career with some terrain and a few random Germans
• And last, but by no means least, Doug Melville smashes his way into the year with twelve rather lovely 1/56th WW2 vehicles

As always, clicking on the name of the person, above, will take you straight to their gallery, which will open in a new window.

Today's pictures are a few of Doug's APCs...
