"It's almost Spring! Time to sweep off the front stoop."
Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

From ChrisF - Chamber of Challenge The Tomb - 15mm tomb (25pts)
I made this tomb a few years ago for my gaming table. I produced the original out of foam and clay, and made the silicone mold for repro. Not super detailed , but functional. Since the roof is a 2 part cast, it was always on standby to use up any extra resin, along with the baseplate and building, so I ended up with quite a few.

This is a 15mm Witch by Blue Moon. I'm offering it to the sorceress for transport from the Hall of Traps to the Golem Haunt. She's quite a lovely lady with delicate features and a spell finger that most assuredly means business.
