Brother Nathan Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) So following on from the store painting challenges and being something i want to try too going to issue a challenge to everyone. And pretty simple. 2 hours from undercoat. Preferably a basic marine but ill not land lock it. If all you have is a regular infantry go for it. Please no cheating etc. Wanna see what you can really do in a time limit 2 hours is tight but doable. No prizes just partipation. Im going to use a stopclock for myself as i know i get interrupted a lot and if you can do the same great. Ill try to keep drying times in the two hours for fairness too. A before and after pic too please! So without adoo... let the painting commence!!! Starting this off my my undercoated storm angel prepped and ready to commence.

Grotsmasha Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 ANNNNNNNDDDDD Done, as you can see I ran out of time to get the base back to black, but that's it, otherwise pretty happy for 2hrs work, Spoiler ] Alby the Slayer, Dwango, Boc and 10 others 9 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Looks great! I messed up flocking before wash was fully dry... will fix that and several other bits later but still...

Brother Christopher Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Great idea. I'll need to save this thread somewhere and revisit it the next time I get around to painting. I'm really looking forward to participating. Recently, largely because of my backlog, I'm quite fixated on time-per-model and am trying to optimise it to. It'll be interesting to see how others do within this time constraint. Brother Nathan and Grotsmasha 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Exactly i think its a good premise/ test comparison. As well it does help some of us more batch painters to see a comparison to higher quality painters who may put far longer into theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Can you use an airbrush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Go for it just worth noting it with the pictures for comparisons sake Brother-Chaplain Kage 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Will do! I really need a test figure for my custom chapter which has a metallic base color and I think it looks much better airbrushed than base coated with a paint brush.

Dwango Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Ooh. Like this idea. How long are you running it for? I'm off on hols for a few weeks on Friday but will definitely give it a go on my return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Can I do an Ork for this challenge?, If I did one of my white scars I guarantee I wouldn't get past white armour base with a recess wash . Cheers, M. ++EDIT++ I finally remembered to time painting a model, 2 hrs goes stupid fast !!

MithrilForge Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) +++ Saved Post+++ (This will encourage me to do it ,very soon ) Doh I posted my model in the above slot I guess that means I have to do another … but faster !!

Disruptor_fe404 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Oooh, very interesting to see what I can do in this time frame. Consider me in; I'll crack into one later tonight. Not expecting to go very far though! MithrilForge, Grotsmasha and Brother Nathan 2 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Here we go, two hours of work on a model: Going from primed to base layer to basic colours to wash and pinwash to cleanup of black sections. Next step will be grey edge highlighting followed by cleanup of black sections again followed by cleanup of other colours. Very interesting exercise, though I'd say I did this about 20% faster than my normal pace. EDIT: Notable; literally did nothing with what I consider the 'extras' on the model - the separate pouches and such.

Brother Nathan Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 Interesting. How much longer do u recon til fin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 My guesstimate would be another 4 hours from this point. I might just time myself in 2-hour chunks again to see if that's accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouargh Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Did not shot a "before starting" pic, but anyway, here is the status of my Nob after 2:05: This is the pic at 2:05: all main coloured areas done but almost zero details completed: grips, pounches, wood pole... remained to be done, as well as painting the base. It then took me something like 50 minutes extra to complete all of these details, and the status is 99% finished at the moment. Only the base will need to a final touch of dry brushing... tomorrow. I will then post it completed so that he can lead my GorkaMorkas Boyz. Interesting to see how a challenge can boost you up: I almost did not touch a single brush for one month until this. It had to go back to the supplies store to get new 00 brushes for this chap, and I took the opportunity to refill paints (reds and bones). Next objectives with these colours: my undercoated Aeldars (Saim-hann) to ride along the Dread already shown in my gallery. But I will not start until July, to set them into the next Challenge!
