#FEMbruary painting challenge over, here is an admirable April challenge by Ann Wycoff for those ‘confined to barracks’ on Lockdown, Furlough or normal leisurely evenings and weekends:

“The idea is simple. You can paint anything you want so long as you owned it before April 1, 2020.”
The challenge extends to any existing or unfinished hobby project, not just painting miniatures. ‘Rules’ are on Ann’s blogpost.
Ann is going to post an end of month challenge round up on her blogsite in early May.
“The challenge closes on May 3rd, 2020 at midnight (your local time). I will do a final round-up post after that date.”
What will you paint or finish?
Thanks to Marvin at Suburban Militarism for spotting this challenge.

Hello I'm Mark Mr MIN, Man of TIN. Based in S.W. Britain, I'm a lifelong collector of "tiny men" and old toy soldiers, whether tin, lead or childhood vintage 1960s and 1970s plastic figures.
I randomly collect all scales and periods and "imagi-nations" as well as lead civilians, farm and zoo animals. I enjoy the paint possibilities of cheap poundstore plastic figures as much as the patina of vintage metal figures.
Befuddled by the maths of complex boardgames and wargames, I prefer the small scale skirmish simplicity of very early Donald Featherstone rules.
To relax, I usually play solo games, often using hex boards. Gaming takes second place to making or convert my own gaming figures from polymer clay (Fimo), home-cast metal figures of many scales or plastic paint conversions. I also collect and game with vintage Peter Laing 15mm metal figures, wishing like many others that I had bought more in the 1980s ...
