13-Day Painting & Hobby Challenge
Thursday, April 18-Tuesday, April 30, 2013

Ghaznub: 29.25/11/7
Git-Git: 14.5/45/7
Marbrook: 6.25/4/1
Valmiir: 7.5/12/2

TOTAL: 57.5\72\17

Due to the success of the UnderEmpire's last Weeklong Painting & Hobby Challenge, we have decided that the UnderEmpire's anniversary month, April, will close with a special, once-a-year, 13-Day Painting & Hobby Challenge in celebration. Whether you're working to finish an army, or are just looking to paint a few models, this is a perfect opportunity for you to work in real time with your fellow-rats around the globe, earning bonus P.R.S. points as you do so. Feel free to join in and log in as many sessions as you wish. Note that you do not need to start the event on April 18, but can join in when you like and go through the end of April 30.

It is very important that you read THIS THREAD, which contains the rules on how to make an entry.

Earning P.R.S. Points
 

P.R.S. points are earned both for the work you do (as measured in V.V.P.s) and for the time you spend. So you will collect a P.R.S. point for every 10 V.V.P.s you complete, as well for the total time you've devoted to your hobby during the week, as shown below:

6 hours - 1 P.R.S. point
12 hours - 3 P.R.S. points
18 hours - 5 P.R.S. points
24+ hours - 6 P.R.S. points


To join in the event, take of a photo of the models you are going to assemble and/or paint, on top of a newspaper from the current day with the date shown in the photo. If you don't have a newspaper, you can take a photo of the models in front of your computer, with the screen showing the start page of this event.

Once you have entered you can paint whenever you like, for however long as you like. Some may paint after getting home from work until they go to bed, while others might just do a few hours. Each time you start a new patch of hobby activity, take a photo at the start and post it here in this topic along with your accomplishments line. Then make a new post, also with a photo, when you finish. This is how you log in and out. Let us know how many hours (in quarterly hour increments) you did in the session, as well as how many vow value points (V.V.P.s) you completed (see any Painting Vows thread for details).

In the thread's initial post, we will keep a log of how much time you have completed, as well as V.V.P.s and your current number of P.R.S. points collected. Every time you make a post, you need to include a line showing your accomplishments. The line must be in the following format:

Name: # hours\V.V.P.s completed\current P.R.S. points collected

Example:

Sample
 
Scarfester: 7.25\26\3
Code:
 
[b]Scarfester[/b]: [color=red]7.25[/color]\[color=yellow]26[/color]\[color=green]3[/color]
So in this example Scarfester has painted for a total of 7 and a quarter hours, completed 26 V.V.P.s and has currently earned 3 P.R.S. points.


We will keep these running totals updated as the week goes on! Just make a log in and log out post for each session, and we will monitor your progress. The 13-Day Challenge has begun.

I finished the assassin, and did some work on the scales on the dragon. I can only claim 1 VVP for basing, though, since most of the painting of the assassin was done way earlier than today. So early that I had to brush dust off him first...

I think I'm finished with the Warboss. It's a really cool model. :) And I don't know how much more I can do with the dragon, other than finishing the horns, inside of the mouth and the base.

Got about 2.5 bodies done and decided to make the belts brown (rather than ignoring them/ pretending they were part of the armor):

I love how this challenge makes me spend some time painting, as well as planning what to paint. Today I've completed two projects (not the dragon) I've had on the table for a long while. I finished this cowboy, as well as an rpg character I didn't include in the pictures. No VVPs for them, as they were at least half done from before.

Hey, aside from celebrating the UnderEmpire's anniversary, getting people to paint is what this challenge is for!

By the way, you're supposed to take your V.V.P.s whenever you finish whatever stage of the model you're at, whether it's assembly, or painting, or whatever. This means that even if a model is half-painted before the challenge, if you finish painting during the challenge, you're entitled to collect the V.V.P.s for painting the model as though it were painted entirely during the challenge.
