Painting challenge preparation

Some preparation work has been done for the analogue painting challenge. This is my first year actually being involved, i have previously tried to keep my own pace with the participants but i thought i should just join in.

At the moment i have set out the two main parts i wish to get painted.
A small force for the critical mass game, consisting of 88 15mm figures on squad bases and 5 vehicles, only 3 of which are pictured.
These will be bolstered up by 3 Vtol aircraft which i cannot use for the challenge as painting had started on these a long time ago.

Also will be 43 single 15mm miniatures for a side project i started. They are all GZG japanese ashigaru infantry, which with some imagination do look a bit like stormtroopers from a long time ago, in a galaxy far away. I have already done 8 of these as a test subject and i was so happy with how they turned out i got some more.
