Well that's the end of the 2nd Analouge Painting Challenge and I'm very pleased to have come out on top!!
It was a battle to the last for first place between myself and Kent, but I just pipped him to the post. I sent in an entry with minutes to go, and just passed Kent's total, to finish 1st!!!
Below are the final standings, I've put a link in for each competitor apart from Steve M, John B and Paul P, sorry guys I've searched for your blogs or web pages but just can't find them anywhere, if anyone knows a link please let me know.
As you can see below both myself and Fran managed to fulfill our aim, and finish in the top 5. But I'll have to add a quick "Up Yours Ging!!" to Fran as I doubled his points total, he he!!!
I've gotta give a big Thank You, to Curt for running the Challenge, I enjoyed it immensely and got far more figures painted than I would have done otherwise!!! And we'll see you at Salute and our game!!!!
And a big well done to everyone who took part as Curt said, there were a hell of a lot of figures painted!!!

You won!!!!! Congratulations Ray, this is great news on hump day. So how does it feel to be at the top of the heap? You look amazingly happy in that picture and it looks like all that painting resulted in a huge weight loss as well. Good job!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Anne, I'm glad you noticed!!
DeleteOne question remains Ray. Are you done rubbing his Lordship's nose in your victory?
DeleteNOPE!
DeleteWell done Ray! Now you can rest...
ReplyDeleteYep, back to the normal level of painting, thank God.
DeleteCongrats Ray!! :-) You now deserve some pints of beer as a reward!
ReplyDeleteT.
That is a staggering amount of models painted. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations but you should have used a far larger proxy figure in that picture pox bottle!
ReplyDeleteWell done Ray, but Fran's right. You look fitter than the last pic of you... strange isn't it?
DeleteI have been laying off the pies recently??
DeleteWhat are you; a painting robot?! :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Ray!
eerr Yes!
DeleteCongratualtion Ray !!!
ReplyDeleteBest regards dalauppror
Hearty congratulations mate - that is a mammoth pile of lead you coloured there. What is even more important though I think is that your great quality didn't suffer at all either. Well done indeed!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Ray. Very well done. That is one hell of a huge number of figs you painted.
ReplyDeleteI take my hat of to you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations ray, a well deserved first place and one over on the Lurker!
ReplyDeleteBTW I noticed your excessive use of multiple exclamation marks in your post...you do know that's a sign of an unhinged mind!!! I think you may have been overdoing it. Go have a lay down in a darkened room for a while...
First one? Ouaouh, congratulations! I agree with Rosbif, you look like a robot! Take some rest, now...until next challenge!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, I can only say that if I manage to paint all that figure in a single years I will be a very happy fella! :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Ray!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That was quite a challenge and you met it with room to spare. Great job on the minis and now you can have a well-deserved paint-rest to work on your rules.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Ray! Mammoth effort. I can't believe the final list of what you managed to get done.
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations, Ray, on a fantastic achievement.
ReplyDeleteWell done that man. You've managed to painted more figures in a few months than I've managed to paint in several years.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Matt
Congrats Ray, was rooting for a Brit win and your a sly fox.
ReplyDeleteI am rather pleased with my finish and it's fair to say I have plenty of material for blog posts for the next week or two.
Now you have the time to do a little work then?
Ian
Gotta say I'm mighty chuffed!!! and like you said I've got a stack of posts waiting to be written.
DeleteCongrats on the win, by the list of figures you churned out it was well deserved!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Ray.
ReplyDeleteCongrats :-D
ReplyDeleteCheers
paul
Congratulations, that is certainly some effort, more figures than I've painted in my life, or intend to. But I have airbrushed more than that, much easier.
ReplyDeleteAnd you have really hairy legs...
Regards
Well done Ray, you are a real sport, I believe that you commented on every entry almost.
ReplyDeleteJohn
I did try to give a little encouragement to everyone, it all helps.
DeleteCongrats and that is one impressive figure count.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Ray. Tell me... do you ever sleep?
ReplyDeleteNot very often, that's how it feels anyway??
DeleteGood show Ray! You are a painting machine, sir!
ReplyDeleteI do try!!!!
DeleteCongratulations Ray! And that's one heck of a long painted mini list for the year thus far.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Ray. Winning the contest has made you slimmer. What a bonus!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely slimmer on the wallet!!
DeleteCongratulations there Ray, thats one hell of a total of painted figures that you have done since December. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe thrill of victory...!
ReplyDeleteCongradulations! Not just on winning first place but by getting over twice the points and most of the competeters! Now thats a true victory! You demolished your oponents!
ReplyDeleteWell done. Perhaps I need a challenge to get me off my ass and painting.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly helped me get a lot of figures painted, that I've had for a long time.
DeleteWoohoo! Congrats to you. And also, I've never heard the word, ging before. I'm learning so much from you guys. It's a mini education in slang.
ReplyDeleteCongrats again :-)
Congratulation!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
Cheers
Monty
Congratulations, Ray. You painted very well many, many, many figures.
ReplyDeleteMany, many, many.
Congratulations Ray. Seeing them all in a list like that is a wonder in itself! You musta of had paint goblins assisting
ReplyDeleteNo goblins, just not a lot of sleep, I'm quite amazed myself as to how much I painted.
DeleteCongratulations for winning the competition.
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations Ray! What a tremendous achievement especially given the competition. I have to admit that I didn't think anyone was going to catch Kent.
ReplyDeleteMe neither!
DeleteWell done Ray - showing those darn colonials what a chap from the mother country can do eh...
ReplyDeleteexcellent piece of skullduggery
cheers
Dace
One has, to try one's best, Dace or is that Dave??
DeleteCongrats Ray, major achievement!
ReplyDeletewell done Ray!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, and I must say that is a lot of painted stuff. Wish I could paint that fast.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, I'd find it hard not to be proud of that. Awesome accomplishment!
DeleteCongratulations... Quiet a lot of minis you did there!
ReplyDeleteWell done Ray! You were a crafty git at the end but I would have done the same (actually, I have, ask Dallas). It was great to have you participate in the Challenge, thanks a bunch!
ReplyDeleteCheers Curt, It was an excellent experience, I never expected to win, I just hoped I'd finish in the top 5, but I do feel sorry for poor Kent, winning nearly all the way though only to lose in the last few seconds.
DeleteI don't even know how I left that as a reply. Wow.
ReplyDeleteWell done Ray!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great effort! You clearly are a painting god!
Btw Ray, do I understand you guys will host a game at Salute?
ReplyDeleteAfraid not, we were but its been cancelled, but we aree hosting a game at the Broadside show in Sittingbourne, Kent in June.
DeleteCongrats on both the win and the pure pile of lead that has been finished thanks to the competition.. but seriously.. when do you sleep???
ReplyDeleteI'm very lucky, I work shift work, when I'm on nights I can paint continually for 8+ hours if I want, this is where most of my stuff gets painted.
DeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done Raymundo! That's a very impressive output, particularly given the quality of the paint jobs you've done
ReplyDeleteCongratulations....given the amount of work involved that is quite some achievement!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations mate, I never thought anyone would catch Kent!
ReplyDeleteNor me?
DeleteI suppose all the hired help you took on is mighty ticked off now that they are out of work! Seriously though congrats on what can only be described as one tremendous feat of painting!! I'm sure your letting Fran know on an hourly basis. Outstanding!!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
All hired help were disposed of in a very humane way, and I will not allow Fran to forget his defeat at the Battle of the Brush...ever!!!
Deletewell done ray it is a shame I always favour the underdog :-P
ReplyDeleteYou Kent and Tim painted an astonishing amount of figures in 12 months! You must be pretty chuffed Dave after beating the Kiwi pro-painter AND giving Fran a hard time to boot (just 'cos ya can, right?) Now all you have to do is build an extension to the family home to house them all!
ReplyDeleteGood onya sport!

Doc
Only 3 months Doc!!
DeleteWOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
ReplyDeleteKiwi pro painter sounds good but i only paint part time at nights and for 30min each day at lunch i have mainly one or two other people that i now paint for, but kiwi pro sounds good if i can't grab number one, a big congrats on the win buddy I'll be keeping track of your work.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Kent
Thanks Kent, don't forget, you shall now and forever be known as Sir Kent of Galpy!!
DeleteYou are a painting machine! Absolutely fantastic!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Why have you used a pic of Alex Jones? ;)
ReplyDeleteWell done bud.
CS
What happened, I'm away for two weeks and I see this…Amazing and well done. I guess good tactics but I feel sorry for Kent. I would have put a lot of money on him during the contest. Anyway, congratulations on the win!
ReplyDeleteTHREE MONTHS! My gob is well and truly smacked! You guys ARE machines. And my painting friend from across the Ditch IS a real pro painter - even if only part-time (hey, unless your name is 'Perry' - we all have to do the day job to pay for it all unfortunately) - so the result is even more impressive. Ray - you're just a paintin' maniac!
