=] The Boxing Day Bash 2020 [=

[Grotsmasha]

Welcome to The Bolter and Chainsword's 6th Annual Boxing Day Bash, the premise is simple; Build, Paint, and Base 1 (or more) model/s in 24hrs.

The Rules are as follows;

• Build, paint, and base one (or more) models.
• 24hr limit, determined by the time of Participants "Vow" post. Everybody gets 24hrs starting at any time on THEIR local Boxing Day.
• "Completion" standard set by Participant.
• Each Vow made for the Participants sub/forum of choice.
• Each completion earns one point for building the model/s, two points for building AND painting the model/s, and a total of three points for building AND painting, AND basing their model/s within the 24hr time period.
• A fourth point will be awarded for multiple models completed within the 24hrs time period.
• Two pictures are required, one picture of the bitz or sprue, and one of the completed model/s.
• Primed bitz/sprue will be accepted.
• Individual points can be earned for completing any one of the three criteria.
• Sub-assemblies will be accepted for larger models.

Please post your vows here, in this thread with the following format,

I, {insert your name}, accept The Boxing Day Challenge and vow to Build, Paint, and Base {insert unit/s here} for the honour of the {insert your sub-forum} within the 24hrs time limit.

You can signify your participation by adding one of the following badges to your signature if you so desire,

Have fun, lets see some cool models.

[Grotsmasha]

And done,

[Dosjetka]

Nicely done, Grot! :tu:

 

Currently going over my options, keen to get something assembled and painted.

[Dosjetka]

Since this event required the model to start on sprue or in bitz, that cut down my options a bit so I've decided to go for a model that I've had sitting around for ages and should've painted months ago:

I, Dosjetka, accept the Boxing Day Bash challenge and vow to build, paint, and base Sister Superior Amalia Novena for the honour of the Sisters of Battle within the 24-hour limit.

[MajorNese]

I, MajorNese, accept The Boxing Day Challenge and vow to Build, Paint, and Base one Primaris Techmarine for the honour of the Raven Guard within the 24hrs time limit.

 

[Brother Argent]

Hmmm... My Boxing Day finishes in a few hours and my desk/workspace is so far buried its not funny (and there is the parts of an Imperial Knight I need to complete by months end in there) but I am rather tempted to do this, just for the sake of doing it.  That and to start my Sons of Dorn Expansion off on a good note as well as make and complete a 12 Months of Hobby for December.... let my see what I have got lying around here.  Vow, assemble and maybe prime tonight before getting into the painting tomorrow.

[TPS]

Let's do this!

I, TPS, accept the Boxing Day Bash challenge and vow to build, paint and base Lord Inquisitor Kyria Draxus and her Interrogator, for the honour of the Agents of the Imperium, within 24 hours.

 

[Dosjetka]

Model assembled, next to inspiration and my reference for the colour scheme:

Custom base that fits the original art piece more, in my opinion:

Now lunch, then paint!

Congrats Grotsmasha on completing your model so quickly.

Ok here goes nothing.

I, Trokair, accept The Boxing Day Challenge and vow to Build, Paint, and Base a Vespid Strain Leader for the honour of the Greater Good within the 24hrs time limit.

Luckily the spraying went ok despite the cold; otherwise I would be scrambling for another model while this guy (and his squad) would be back in the stripping tank.

[Majkhel]

Nice!
Gonna join as soon as I get back home from Christmas ;)

[Anticontrarian]

*sigh*

 

I've a whole 3000pts of Necrons needing paint, but they're all already assembled!

So, I guess I'll go with the first model I can find that's still on sprue:

Usual quick fun blitz of these - nice to try a new Alpha Legion test scheme on some lovely models, great fun. Thanks again Grotsmasha!

 

(Few bits where my application of Contrast and tidying thereafter isn’t perfect when I look in detail - but there we go! Happy Boxing Day all!)
