Great selection of projects, well done to all the winners!
‘Spring Cleaning Hell’ is probably my favourite, as I love Hellboy and @pafetikbazerka really nailed the aesthetics of the graphic novels.
50 pound voucher would be great.
Buy stuff and paint it in the next spring cleaning challenge. 🙂
Awwww yeah! I won £50 for painting a model that cost me £15. I won for best tutorial and the first thing I did was link someone elses how to paint video. Epic! Cheers guys. In a twitch stream right now but I’ll watch this in the morning.
It was brilliant! Above all it’s a piece of art that can really inspire others. By far one of my favourites of all time. Well done. Well deserved. ???
Thank you. Thats some big words.
Already over?! But I haven’t entered yet! I was so busy watching all the projects 😉
Aw I could of entered the junior competition, always next time with my hopefully new projects planned 🙂
If I’d known no one would have entered the junior challenge I would have done a DelBoy and entered my mates work as kiddy painting, hell it got Del and Rodney a holiday in Spain….of course my mate wouldn’t have needed to know ?
Many congrats to all you winners, runners up and mentions you’ve all given me great joy and inspiration over the challenge so thanks for sharing your projects.
Here’s hoping a junior manages to scoop the giveaway so we have someone to enter next time.
wow the enters are fabulous I’ll just step away now thanks. Lol
Congrats to everyone!!!!
Happy to see that one of my favourite projects got the win for the best idea, great job @henrileite
congratulations to the winners
#I’m not jealous
I did smile a lot since I’ve seen all the projects before somewhere…. and the happy gardener… he’s so cute I want to gobble him up *nom* *nom* *nom*
At least you’ve got an excuse to not finish your U-boat. You’re saving it for next year’s Spring Clean Challenge.
it’s THE wEEKEN… Oh hang on… I remember now.
Something special…
What? Where? Who are you? Where am I? What does this red button do?
Congratulations to the winners. Thanks for the runners up place.
Congratulations to all. Great winners and gorgeous projects.
Gotta say, an Honorable Mention in this company of creative individuals is a true prize indeed. Thanks for the kudos, guys, very much appreciated.
You are an exceedingly talented artist and your painting of the mantic map with reference to Bilbo Baggins’ sketch of his journey in The Hobbit and placed on the scene with the table remains a real inspiration for others (well me at least!). The fine detailing is some of the best I’ve ever seen. An honourable mention is the least you deserve. Well done. I continue to follow your projects with awe. ??
ah thanks very much for the runner up spot much appreciated, it was a fun project and actually help cement me in streaming which is a great reward. Well done to all the winners much deserved.
Well Done to All that entered and worked on projects and a hearty ‘Well Done’ to those that rose to the top and collected their 50£ voucher!
The Spring Clean 2020 Challenge has truly kept me sane during the Covid-19 lockdown. I’m amazed at what I’ve achieved myself and browsing through all the projects constantly inspires me to try something new, whether that be a new technique or an introduction to a new set of miniatures. The positivity that comes from finishing a painting or modelling project can be carried over into the non-hobby world (real life) and that helps so much with the difficult time so many of us have experienced across the world. Thank you BOW. Congratulations to all the winners and honourable mentions. All really well deserved and include some of my favourites. Here’s to the next challenge!
Well done you talented lot.
Well done to all the winners and runners-up. Great stuff.
Some seriously good project work folks, joshtogo is my favourite
Congratulation to the winners, stunning projects and well selected. Thank you for the show
Congrats to the winners!
I must admit, i haven’t check out much of the projects and missed a few… i will rectify that! One of the projects i followed was laughingboy’s Heroquest and it’s nice to see it all done!
easy to miss, there’s like 150 odd projects to get through
I have to say the FOW spring clean challenge by wolfch is my favorite! Amazing amount of work and teaching techniques! Really cool and useful!
Funny how I always view my work in a harsher light to how I view others. First 30 mins my jaw is on the floor with all the awsome work, then I win the skill catagory and follow my jaw to the floor. Super, super chuffed to be recognised amongst such great projects. Seriously, its this site and community wich has pushed and inspired me, so hat’s off to all!
I bow before the efforts of the winners. Well done each and every one of you. That puts the bar pretty damn high and I think I might have a couple of ideas to reach those kinds of heights.
Dayyyuuum!!! Some amazing work. I should have had my daughter enter the youngsters category. She’s getting o painting. Hats off to the winners. Great work y’all. .
Well done one and all, some serious skills on show. Plus a fair bit of dedication. ?
Well deserved winners! We have a lot of talented people in our community.
Thanks for the Honourable Mention – Dead chuffed! – first time entering this sort of competition – JFYI The banner was kept secret as I didn’t want it to get political but my gaming friends in the NHS thought it was great.
@avernos When you were talking about me photoshopping metal rods in to the picture to see how the light would react you missed a little detail I thought you would love. Its not just a metal rod. Its the spring loaded spindle from my toilet roll holder. Either way, I kinda knew you would like that step and call it out.
Thanks for the prize and for liking my work. You’re right that creating a details project is a lot of work. I spent almost as long typing that up as actually painting it. Thats why I don’t often do projects and when I do they start to lose steam over time. I’m sure its the same for a lot of people.
Some great projects showcased, congratulations to all the winners
Well done everyone, some great hobby on show.
Some great projects and skills on show. Congrats to the winners, the runners up and the also-rans for getting some paint down and some stuff completed.
The reverse Just for Men is a great idea. I’ve just taken out a trademark on Just for Grognards 😀
Congrats to the winners! Good stuff!
Great work, folks, and nice that so many people took the challenge.
Nicey nicey. Applemak’s was my personal favourite, just because it speaks to me!
it is a thing of beauty
Thanks for the kind words. I am still working through tins of lead, and had it not been the challenge I suspect the entire Amies would still be on the shelf! Well done to everyone taking part.
it was a joy to watch it all the way through. I’m hoping you’ll grace us with a battle report when all is done
Amazing projects, a big well done and well deserved to all the winners
congratulations to all the winners ?
for me everyone is actually a winner, so much to learn from everyone and inspiring!
i would like to choose a favorite but that is very, very difficult.
I would like to see the train painted, but that may be for the next spring challenge ?? ?
Good show!!
well done to all guys!
So impressed with the quality and quantity. My Spring cleaning only got so far as washed and partially assembled. Summer got here too soon.
Well at least Gerry can color his hair grey. I can color my scalp grey I guess
congrats to the winners and the LOSERS !!!!
Candy for the eyes!
I could spend a full day watching people’s achievements!
That is one amazing set of projects. Well done, everyone!
congrats to everyone who participated (in this case I think a participation award is warranted). Well done winners and runner-ups 😀 So much inspiration!
wah, really touched for being in the runner up 🙂 thank you for the kind words guys, really made me feel happy. made my day.
3 pizza boxes so I can carry the projects around easy as I usually have 2 or 3 waves going at any given time.
Keep following cause I am getting done with the scope of the spring cleaning challange.
Congrats to all the winners with their great stuff @darkdanegan project is just mind blowing.
@applemak amazing stuff
@lawnor will have to give it a go on larger scale 🙂 maybe to innogurate the fact when I’ll use something else than a 15 euros airbrush
I think I should qualify for the Junior challenge based on my mental age….. ?
Happy gaming!
Some impressive work there.
In an unrelated topic… glad I talked myself out of Indomitus before it went on preorder… it was sold out before I finished work Saturday… so at least I don’t get the disappointment of not being able to get it.
Congrats to all of the winners and runner ups! All of the projects were top notch!
What a great honor, thank you. Congratulations to all. What a great community Warren and Lloyd have nurtured through the years. I’m humbled to be part go it.
very impressed by both of your projects we looked at
Congratulations to all of the winners, some fantastic projects and well worthy of their £50 vouchers.
The overall quality of the entries into these competitions has just gotten better with each one.
Congrats to all the winners, runners ups, and everyone who dusted off some boxes, bitz, paints, models, lights, toys, tables, trees, hills, walls, ruins, barrels, or anything else!!! Very inspiring!! Oh, and BUSTS!!! Wow, that work on my favorite Guild Ball Character, Brisket (Veteran Brisket really) is amazing! Thanks for putting this together On Table Top and I’m definitely participating in the next one! No excuses!
Such lovely work across the board. Well done all.
I have no talent, so this is my (random) chance to get a voucher hooray!
Congrats to everyone and thanks for the shoutout. Bigger thanks for providing me with the motivation to make some progress on my collection.
The Eldar diorama looks awesome
Wow, these projects are epic!
some great painting skills there. 3D print train was an interesting choice.
I like the look of all of the models 🙂
These projects are really inspiring!
These are all impressive
So many lovely things! Great to see Hellboy taking a top spot, I’ve been trudging through my copy a lot longer!
I love these minis
Great to see people’s different approaches to the projects system. I like going through the project system as posts go up but I don’t tend to think of them as a whole. Well done to everyone featured, you are an inspiration to the community!
So many great models!
Very nice stuff
I already wait for the summer clearing 🙂
These look cool!
