The sun is shining and it looks like being a glorious day, despite the fact that four inches of snow are apparently on the way.

But we don't care: not whilst there are figures to paint. Being snowed in has its advantages...

Today's entries into this year's TooFatLardies Painting Challenge are as follows:

• Matt Slade with some wonderful 7TV robots, Avians and aliens, and Napoleonic casualty markers
• John Haines attempts to keep Mrs May happy with three new houses...and some British AWI Dragoons!
• More pyrates from Mr Burt
• A teeny tiny entry from Mr Stoesen: stacked muskets
• Treadhead has been a very naughty boy: the Monty Python Spanish Inquisition set and some Undead
• It's Star Wars time for Chris Kay
• Sapper strikes back with some French Dragoons
• Travis Hiett adds to his WW2 Japanese force for Chain of Command in 28mm with some support weapons
• Mervyn has been preparing for a 20mm imaginations campaign, and recycling old skirting boards into flight stands
• And last but by no means least, Sapper has a jumbo entry: eight Ghaznavid elephants

As always, clicking on the name above will take you straight to their gallery (opens in a new window) and I'll update the Scorecard tonight.
