The BoftheBB 2007 Summer Painting Challenge09-10-2007 The Summer Challenge ended with Labor Day and Mage Con. Once again Carl was an unassailable force of nature. Lots of minis (500+) got painted, which is the whole point. The 2007 Fall Painting Challenge has now begun.
Last summer we had the Summer 2006 BoftheBB Painting Challenge and This spring we had the Spring 2007 BoftheBB Painting Challenge. So it is time to do it again. The contest this time will run from April 22nd, 2007 until sometime towards the end of the summer. The rules will basically be the same as last time. You get points for each figure you get painted. You report what you get done to Brother Bob and he'll update the standings. This time when we get together to celebrate our accomplishments, everyone will bring what they think is the best piece quality-wise that they've painted during the contest. We'll take a vote and pick the best piece completed during the challenge. Current Standings
