From DaveD - intro , workspace and plans

 Hi ,

So here I go with my 12th participation  to the annual challenge . - has it really been that many - yikes . 

Over that time the hobby work area has expanded considerably. I also live near and game with JamesM and MartinC - we are playing tomorrow in fact . We have even co-opted 2 new challenge virgins this year DennisC and SteveK - we may have to have a side duel - mind who knows if  Millsy can keep the spreadsheet up to date with it being upside down .

 

With the passing of time I now of course need more magnification in the form of an optivisor and lots of light.

Over the years the challenge had enabled a number of large projects to be seen through to completion - well let’s not say completion , but at least anything new being added comes from the darker recess of the lead  mine. 

• The Old West town of Serenity 
• The Sudan - the amount camels are stuff of challenge lore ..
• Normandy ww2 in 15mm 
• ACW in 10mm 
• Vietnam 

I tend to stick to my focus with not too much wandering into the bonus rounds though I think there may be a few cross overs into that this year . 

Focus will be on the Vietnam stuff as this still has lots of legs yet  , some new 15mm Cold War gone hot , possibly 10mm AWI . 

In addition I look after the Challenge Facebook page Click through link https://www.facebook.com/groups/179279788936540/

Over the years there has been a group of us participating in  the video chats and these have continued across this year. It’s a good way of helping each other be productive . Most video chats have started around 8pm UK time - or around about Paul O'G's  breakfast time.  I am planning to try and stagger hosting some to suit the wider global audience. The direct link to the video hangout is published on the Facebook pages. just click through. if you want to know more about these directly rather than FB contact me via e-mail direct or via your minion  and I will look to do some e mail updates . 

We are currently using Zoom - and if your not familier with that  - you've had a great pandemic!

 

Have a great challenge everyone
