Hello All!
Well here we are. After weeks of journeying we find ourselves on the outskirts of the Challenge XII Quadrant.
I've decided to land on the planet of Klendathu, and discovered I was not alone in my explorations. A hostile alien, calling himself Marvin, is bound and determined on invasion and subjugation. Knowing the history of this planet, I tried to talk sense into the little fella, but he won't have any of it, being bound and determined to claim this world for Mars. I think it will all end in tears (if not disintegration), so I decided to beat a hasty retreat to my lander.

For our first entry I thought it apropos to start with the character featured on this year's Challenge poster, the persistently pugnacious 'Marvin the Martian'.
Marvin is a 3D print I came across while browsing through Thingiverse (thank you Amandasubic). Since he's sort of a wee chap, I scaled him up to around 40mm so he'll be noticed in the display cabinet. As you can see, I've kept it fairly simple for his paintjob. I wanted to keep true to how he was depicted in Looney Tunes, so I stuck to blocky, vibrant colours, with just a bit of edge highlighting.
At 40mm, Marvin gives me a base of 7 points, plus another 20 for Kendathu. I hope he'll be okay down there...
And that will be 'M' for Marvin (or Martian) for the Alphabet Soup Challenge.
Welcome to Challenge XII everyone!
Now, let the entries roll.
