Get Involved! Spring Clean Hobby Challenge 2022
March 28, 2022 by brennon
It's the return of the Spring Clean Hobby Challenge. It's Springtime, a period of the year all about renewal and regrowth. We're asking you to crack out your old, broken, badly painted (yet still awesome) projects and give them a new lease of life.
Get Involved Here
All you have to do is delve into the Project Section and get building yourself a new entry that shows us your progress as you turn something old into something new.
How To Get Involved
Here's a rundown of what you need to do to be involved...
- Create a Project
- Click on the Drop Down Menu for Related Contest and choose Spring Cleaning Hobby Challenge
- Start by showing us what you began with, an old model, piece of terrain, army or something more esoteric like a diorama!
- Fill in your entries throughout the period of the contest showing us how you turned something old into something new
We can't wait to see what kind of projects you bring together for this one.
Prizes
Of course, it wouldn't be a challenge without some prizes thrown into the mix.
- The challenge runs from 20th March through to 21st June (which just so happens to be all of Springtime!) so you've got about a few months to develop your projects
Prizes for Overall Winner and Runner-Ups will be given out to...
- Best Skill - The most skilled work, be it painting or overall finish.
- Best Tutorial - The person who shows us, in detail, the steps from start to finish
- Best Idea - You don't have to have finished your work to be able to produce something which showed great skill in the planning!
- Best Junior Member - Someone under the age of 16 will also win themselves a prize!
All entries will be judged based on the number of votes received in each of those categories and our own personal choices from here at the studio.
The prizes will be...
4x £50 Vouchers For The OnTableTop Store
8x £25 Runner-Up Vouchers For The OnTableTop Store
So make sure you delve into this and get stuck in. We as part of the OnTableTop crew are most certainly going to be getting involved ourselves and showing off work we've been doing on our own armies.
Get involved!

Spring… clean…. well… maybe 😉
Yes, yes, join us!
He would if he had his botwar 😉
Lol that’s his next one.?
Springclean 2030 … probably
He never said which year, right ? 😉
Lol.
Strangely enough I may have something for this year, would you believe I have a whole pile of various 28mm approx Robot kits and Toys for Battletech 28mm , have some I painted many years ago, so when I finish my normal size mechs think I may try and finish them off.
You could try a project on your projects or have you forgot to close the finished one’s?
Project inception? hmmmm
Operation Street Fighter? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I417GLyY49s
Very tempting.
Would be great to see something old become new 🙂
I’m a gamer not Dr Ben. I am trying to start a project about terrain from rubbish but?
Could be the motivation I need to get my High Elf War of the Ring army painted.
Would love to see that 🙂
I’ll try and find it this weekend, and start a project.
I have a few characters that I’m taking to work tomorrow to strip back to bare metal.
I never did decide which characters to do up for the army.
I have ‘The Battle of Five Armies’, which I think is from the same company. If your project turns out the way I think it will, I might – just might – paint up mine as well.
Wait, the old board game? I did see that Ares was re-releasing it recently.
Yeah, that’s the one. I enjoy it more than the War of the Ring, mainly because it takes less time to play – 2 to 3 hours tops. Every time I play War of the Ring, we end up leaving everything on the board and coming back the next day to finish up – but it is a great experience.
I didn’t know they were re-releasing it. In that case I recommend you buy it if you like War of the Ring.
Another 125 figures to paint? Ye nah, I’d never get all that done before brain cancer catches me.
?
Sort of started one but it’s just a heading an picture at the moment.
Yes, me too, but I work full time in a metal shop, and I have a terminal illness, I’ll dig out the War of the Ring bases and add photos of the few painted units on the weekend.
I’ve painted one miniature this year. It’s been rough. I’ve been ruder-less. In the past the SCC has helped me focus, head down and complete a project.
How can I participate if I’m one of the very rare – it seems – hobbyists who does not impulsively buy stuff and thus has no pile of shame, or anything old to work on? I could propably find a spring and clean it?!? Maybe that’s what I’ll do.
Crikey it is that time again already.
God knows I have a bunch of unfinished projects dating back to the 90’s. Time to kick my butt in gear. What to do……. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I am currently doing a spring cleaning on my RC truck, it is in the project system so would it count? It is not turning something old into something new, it is literally cleaning and maintaining.
I’m a bit puzzled are you supposed to enter your Spring clean challenge in one of the above 4 categories or is your work judged on all three elements. Obviously here I’m referring to myself as I’m older than 16.
