Monster March 7 - Final!

 

Greetings!

The 7th Monster March is over! Many thanks to all the participants! Once again, you made it an absolute pleasure for me to host this small painting challenge. Once again, you provided so many great examples of cool modelling and painting. Plenty of inspiration for each other and those, who simply watched and cheered up for you!

In the final update I am going to post the last entries from each participant. For those who completed their projects, congratulations and well done! For those who haven't yet, keep going! While MonsterMarch7 is over, one of the goals was to begin and continue with your hobby projects anyway! 

Ok, let's check the final updates!

Monster March - Part 4

 

Greetings!

Welcome to the part 4 of the Monster March 7 painting challenge! We have only one week left and this is the moment where many participants enter the final stages of their projects. More and more of them reach the finish line already. Some even continue with additional projects, taking a full advantage of the momentum they have built until now. 

Some others can already see the end of the project, with a lot of time and effort put into them. The progress made is awesome and it helps to keep up the pace. 

However, regardless of where you are in your respective project, keep up fantastic work! What is more, you can still join the challenge, if only to begin something you haven't started yet or pick up the old project that needs some finishing touches!

Let's see what are the specific updates for each participant in the last week.

Greetings!

Welcome to the 3rd part of the Monster March 7 challenge. We passed the half way through already but there is still significant amount of time left to complete your project. Or to begin a new one for some! 

Please, remember that you can still join at any stage! In the meantime, check out last week updates to keep motivated and inspired!

Hello!

Welcome to the second update on Monster March challenge! Last week the majority of participants were busy painting their models with base colours. However, some of them already completed their initial projects and are moving fast to the next ones! 

We also had a few more participants joining in! Please, remember that you can join at any time!

Let's see what did they all achieve last week!

Greetings!

Many thanks to all who responded to my first post and pledged some project to the Monster March 7 challenge! It is great to see that you are happy to join this year. I must say that the participants always choose very interesting models to paint. It is no different this time!

Let's go through the list of the participants and see what kind of models each one of them pledged.

Monster March 6 - Final!

 

Greetings!

I need to start with apologies for a delay in posting the final update. Some real life interference pushed my planned update from the previous weekend. I hoped to catch up during the week but work related things said "no". And the fact that my computer has just decided to die, did not help. 

However, I hope you will enjoy this post regardless! It was another fantastic experience for me personally, as I am always amazed and inspired by all the contributions the participants submitted.

To begin with, I always learn about new models I did not even know exist! Then there are some very creative ways the participants approach their respective projects in terms of modelling and/or painting. 

And of course, it is a great pleasure to meet new participants and welcome back the returning ones, who contributed in the previous years. 

So, let's have a look at the final update, where I am going to show the works of all the participants with their most recent update after the whole month!

Greetings!

This week passed away really fast for me so I am very happy to see that many of the participants continue making a very good progress on their respective projects! 

We are getting close to the final update and the end of this year's Monster March challenge. It means that many of the participants have completed their projects already, and some continue with their stretch goals. In general, models are often look almost finished and it is fantastic to see all the accomplishments already. 

Well done everyone! Let's see what did everyone paint last week!

We are now past the half-way through the Monster March 6! It is great to see the continuous progress the participant make. For many, it is the time to start working one some more intricate details of their models. Some are already working on their stretch goals too! 

However, please remember that it is never too late to join so if you are thinking about starting a new project, just let me know!

Monster March 6 - Part 1

 

Greetings and welcome to the 6th edition of Monster March!

Although 1st of March is on Tuesday, I think it is a good idea to start the painting challenge already! It was fantastic to receive a great response from the participants, both new and returning! Thank you all already! Every year your enthusiasm and creativity make the challenge absolute blast and a pleasure to host!

Monster March 5 - Final!

Greetings!

Welcome to the last update on the Monster March 5 painting challenge! As always, the time flies and we have April already! 

This year's challenge turned out to be truly amazing, with a lot of participants and some fantastic models. It was my absolute pleasure to host the challenge again. It was really inspiring to see all your projects! Some of you painted models that waited for their chance for decades, some of you painted a lot more than a single monster. Whatever your personal choice was, whatever the progress and whether you completed it by the end of March or not, it was all a success because you did some painting! That was the main goal!

In this post I am going to round up the contributions from every single participants over the period of March as a way of saying "Thank you!" for posting photos of your models. Without you, there would be no Monster March! I hope that this is also just the beginning and that you are going to continue with your fantastic project throughout the year!

Ok, let's have a look at all these beautiful models that were featured this year!

Monster March 5 - Part 5

 

Greetings!

We are getting close to the end of this year painting challenge! Many of the participants have already finished their projects, some are even going to their stretch goals! But there is still enough time to add finishing touches to your models! Or, like in my case, get back to painting again! :)

In any case, there are some great updates to check again! Let's begin!

Monster March 5 - Part 4

Greetings!

We are now more than half way through the painting challenge this month! It is usually the time where the models have the main colours done and the focus is on details to complete the project. 

Some of the participants have already completed theirs and are moving to stretch goals! Well done! Some, like myself, are slower painters. And that's perfectly fine too! There is still time to complete your project. In fact, if you have not joined the challenge yet, you can always do it!

Let's see then what was the progress last week!

Monster March 5 - Part 3

 

Greetings!

Welcome to the Part 3 of the Monster March painting challenge! We are roughly half way through the month. And I must tell you, that many of the participants made fantastic progress, in some cases surprising even themselves with how quickly they were able to paint their chosen models! 

In general, everyone involved is doing great at the chosen pace. I am sure we are all learning new tricks while painting our models. And that is important because:

Ok, let's see what the participants achieved last week!

Monster March 4 - Final

Greetings!

We have finally arrived to the end of March and because of that, Monster March 4 challenge is officially over! 

I am really happy I could host it 4th year in a row and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the participants for joining the painting challenge this year!

There were some amazing ideas, projects and models that you pledged this year. I am always amazed by the creativity people show, both in their ideas for models, and execution of their chosen projects. It is a privilege to host a painting challenge like this!

I am also very glad that people kept coming during the entire month! That was the idea from the beginning, whenever you start is less important than the fact that you do! 

In the final post about this year painting challenge I am going to list all the participants. Please, do not worry if you have not finished your project during this month. There is a lot going on in real life and the painting challenge aims to help you dealing with other issues by providing enjoyable distraction. I just hope all is good on your side!

Greetings!

Welcome to another weekly update to the progress the participants of Monster March 4 painting challenge. It is already week 4 and we have only two more days left of the month. 

I am going to post a final update on 1st of April featuring all the participants. 

This time, however, it is going to be regular weekly update. Some of the participants have already finished their respective projects. Well done!

For others, the last week was the one when they managed to accomplish their goals. Congratulations!

What I found amazing in particular is that we still had people coming and asking to join the fun! At the same time, those who have already finished their projects, embarked on stretch goals and painted some more! 

It is truly amazing and I am really happy that people kept coming pretty much every week!

Let's see then what do we have this week!

Monster March 4 - Part 4

Greetings!

Time for another weekly update on the progress of Monster March 4 painting challenge! We have only one week left but some of the participants are either almost there or have already finished their projects!

I know it is quite a difficult time for many so I hope this painting challenge provides much needed distraction. Or simply the way to cope with the things that are often out of our control.

That is why I would like to thank all of you who are participating in this challenge, no mater if you posted any photos of your progress or not. I would like to encourage you to keep going. It helps me a lot to keep calmer and I believe it may be a good way to brave through whatever you may be going through at the moment.

If you had some break in painting that is ok too. There is never too late to come back or even start something new! The intention of the challenge is to encourage you to keep painting no matter what! :)

Let's see what the participants prepared in the last week!

Monster March 4 - Part 3

Greetings!

It is half of the month already meaning it's time for another update! The participants worked really hard to progress their respective projects. As you are going to see soon, they made some really stunning advancements and the effects are already awesome!

What is also fantastic is that we are still getting people joining the challenge! That's amazing because it is really about starting or resuming that great painting project of yours. As long as you do so, the goal is automatically achieved! 

Without further ado, let's see what are the updates this week!

Monster March 4 - Part 2

Greetings!

The first week of the Monster March painting challenge is about to end and I must tell you that all the participants started strong. In fact, there are a few more who have just joined as well! It simply shows it is never too late to get that big model you wanted to assemble and paint started!

Just check out the progress participants have made so far, get inspired and motivated and join us! You know you want to! :)
