Morning, afternoon and evening all for the last time this year
I must say I feel a bit sad here on a Sunday evening here in NZ with this my last post for this challenge.
Before I say anymore I want to say an huge thank you to you all for your support. I don't think that I've ever had so much fun painting figures, nor for that matter remember a time when I've been so productive.
Much of that has been down to the buzz and fun I've had from not only painting and posting, but from looking forward to seeing what others have conjured up. The fact that my golf has gone to ruin and the garden needs so much attention is down to you lot. Like many of you have mentioned, I have one regret and that is having not had quite enough time to leave comments on many of the superb and varied pictures of the entries posted by my fellow participants
Its hardly fair to single anyone out but it would be remiss if I did not say a heartfelt thank you to Curt for not only accepting my entry but also managing my Sunday posts and being so kind in his comments and feedback. Huge thanks must be said to all the minions for their hard work and constant entertainment, not only have you that but you've had to produce your own entries as well! How have you managed that? Thank you
I really have enjoyed looking at so much of what has been offered here, I mean for God Sake I'm a diehard historical gamer but Greg B's 40K stuff has got my "oh look shiny" eye roving over GW stuff for the first time ever and Millsy's cars have me wanting to soup up my X-trail, add a few accoutrements and head to the badlands. Tamsin's got me wanting a dog again and I must get a 3D printer! That's just a few side effects of being in such good company for 3 months!
Anyway before I get too sentimental, I've had a few glasses of wine and could be considered to be "tired and emotional" sniff, I best get around to what I'd intended, sniff...
So here is my P is for Pestilence post - I must confess that I actually don't have any figures covered with sores or any plague doctors but a few days ago I ended up with a cough and felt a bit knackered. Covid is finally having an impact here in NZ so I couldn't go to work but I'm well again and PCR and RAT negative. The end result was that I had 2 days away from work so took the opportunity to paint a few more figures and so allow me to produce an additional entry
To date my theme for the challenge was units with a connection to the letter P - peasants, pious, pointy sticks, pike & shotte, prancing, parliament, polished,Perry Miniatures, personality, plastic, pagan and finally posh.
I felt the theme should continue so this time my pestilent offerings are those that didn't quite make the cut in the original twelve Ps
P is for Palestine
A word of advice, do not watch Lawrence of Arabia or The Light Horsemen
P is for Pandour never made the P cut either
Great bunch of mixed Ps Kerry! Enjoy your wine and sniffle, I’ve enjoyed your p posts this year.
