Ashes Painting Challenge - 27th November 2010 To celebrate the starting of the Ashes cricket series, why don't we all do some mad painting whilst listening to the cricket? ![]() Interest Generation Thread There are PRS points available, as below: For entering a 24hr challenge there are great rewards available! These depend on how long you last and what you achieve in your time. For lasting 6hrs you gain a point. For 12hrs you gain 3pts. For lasting 18hrs you gain 5pts. For lasting the full 24hrs you gain 6pts. For each 10vvp's you complete you get 1 PRS point. For example, painitng 5 man sized models (2vvp's each), or assembling 10 man sized models (1vvp each). All of your work has to be verified by pictures however, to prevent cheating! No pictures = no points. So preferably post all your pictures on the same background of a newspaper from the current day. That would be perfect. So get those start times and photo's in and your 24 hours start from then!

Ok, dropped the wife off to her mothers, so i'm free for the rest of today and tonight! ![]() Start time = 12 (noon) UK time ![]() Theres my start photo! As you can see I will start with the 4 guard that have 2 colours already on them. For painting these I will give myself 6vvps. Everything else will be normal for vvp allocation. I also have 10 guard that need pre-basing and then undercoating along with 5 others. I will be painting for 2hrs now, then going to watch the England Vs South Africa rugby game at the pub. Hopefully back and challenging again by 5pm and going through the night, whilst listening to boxing and then the cricket.

I actually started about 20mins early, so I have done 2 hrs now. Got my ten guard pre-based and got a bit of stuff done on my 4 guard that were already started. Going for a shower now and then to the pub. Will be back at 5pm and ready to go!

I restarted at 5pm but forgot to post it up as the wife keeps texting me! I'm hoping that I will get the 4 guard painted by the time the boxing comes on at 10.30pm. ![]() Just waiting for Stinky to turn up now! |

4.5hr update Got some more done on my 4 guard, but i'm finding it hard to concentrate! Stinky said he'd be here by 5pm, so not sure what happened there. I'm going to take a break now and come back at 10pm. Stinky - if you get on here earlier and than 10pm and you are going to start challenging, text me and i'll come up and join you! |

Ok, its 11pm and i'm back painting! Froch seems to be doing well in the boxing and the cricket starts in half an hour. Still no sign of Stinky. ![]() MUTATE - Boom! Froch absolutely battered him and won all the rounds. Won back his title. ![]() Now to the cricket. Hopefully the England cricketers will have as much fight to survive. |

10hr update! Got my 4 guard painted and based, along with the pre-basing of 10 more guard. ![]() Bad photo So thats 10vvps. So 2 PRS points so far! I'm going to go to bed in a moment (4.30am :o) and get up early tomorrow and try and do some more painting, before I have to go and pick up the wife! So may be back on and challenging at around 10am ish........maybe...... On another plus side, i've got my headset from my PS3 working and have been talking to Stinky as I paint. This is a vast improvement on normal challenging, as it leaves me totaly free to paint and less distracted! ![]() England have batted extremely well. Started 202 runs behind and are currently 9 runs ahead. Strauss the only man out, for 110. Cook on 90 and Trott on 23. ![]() Heading for a draw it would seem! |

Ok, sleep was apparently more important than painting any more. Think i'll have to give it up there. So 2 PRS points for me in total. England ended the days play on 301-1, 88 runs ahead. Brilliant!
