As it’s the Colours wargames show at Newbury Racecourse tomorrow, I thought I’d better make a point of updating the Painting Challenge: might bump into a few people asking why it’s been a week-and-a-half since the last update!

Anyhoo, in no particular order, we have:

• Mr Hodge with everything from 10mm WW2 to 28mm Games Workshop Space Marines

• Ralph Plowman sends in some rare Micropanzer walkers

• It’s more medievals from Andrew Helliwell

• Matt Slade has been busy as ever: three sets of entries including some rather fun Strontium Dog figures

• Travis pops in a few more AWI militia

• There’s a couple of tanks and a couple of fantasy figures from Carole

• Cold War and cavalry from Mr Davenport

• Mark Luther has finished some cavalry for the Second Seminole War

• More Napoleonics from Mervyn

• And last, but by no means least, Lloyd cries “I’m Spartacus” with some gladiators

As always, clicking on the name of the person above will take you straight to their gallery (opens in a new window) and I can’t emphasise enough how much these galleries are a source of inspiration.

Today’s pictures are below:
