I announced in my last post that I would be participating in my first marathon painting competition. My biggest challenge won't be staying awake, or even keeping a steady hand; It will come in the form of my bad back. I'm not sure that my back is up to the challenge. We'll see!

| Just need to prime these before I head out. |
In an attempt to break up the monotony, I'm going to post progress pics of my army throughout the 24-hr. competition. Check back for updates & wish me luck!

| 2 Hours In... doesn't look like much. |
 |
| @ 4.5 hours... all bases base coated & now painting overcoats |
 |
| 9 hours in - OD layer ( helmets, field jackets, etc.) |
Looks good, keep it up! 24hr painting marathons are tough, best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteI threw in the towel at somewhere around 20.5 hours. Of course the back was hurting, but I just couldn't stay awake. I had even popped two bottles of 5-Hour Energy, and it did little to help. My work was not progressing fast enough, and I wasn't to sacrifice quality. I was the only one out of 28 entrants painting 15mm. Most were doing Warhammer 40K, or other genres at that scale. I had a really good time, and took some Christmas money to spend on FoW goodies. Thanks for the kind words, I'll post more pics soon.
