The FoW gang in southern Sweden held their own "Iron Painter" 24 hour painting marathon contest this weekend. Basically all the guys who had been playing the last two FoW tournaments, so everybode knew everybody. Lots of junk food, beer and poop jokes - it was great.It was the first time I had been paiting outside my own house, I merely brought three Panzer III J which were the last PzIII I had to paint for my desert army (still waiting for PzII's, the Tiger and soem AA trucks to arrive). The event started roughly 12.00, and was supposed to last until 12.00 this Sunday. I went home yesterday around 22.00 after finally after much struggle having finished my three tanks (there will be a tutorial on how I paint my Afrika Korps tanks posted soon).
Too many inside jokes to tell which could not be understood, but the highlight of the day was when Martin was assembling his Italian Lancia da 90/53 cars for something like 6 hours LOL! They came in a million pieces with no instructions. Very funny. From what I heard, Martin endured the night and won the Iron Painter prize.
I was actually reluctant to show up, school had been such a giant pile of shit the entire week so I was pretty tired and burned out – did not feel like painting anything. But I’m glad I joined in and forced myself to finish something. After this week I should be able to get back to painting By Fire and Sword stuff as the most rough patch of this semester will be done with.
Anyway here's a bunch of pictures I took throughout the day.
