From ArthurS: Millsy's Millpond here we come! (55 points)




Hoi,

Here's Arthur's second entry for this Challenge. He's decided to travel land-inward towards Millsy's Millpond, for this locale he needs to enter a figure that's pre-1990. In order to complete this quest he has painted up a Battletech Catapult that he was given by a friend of ours (thanks Jan-Willem) and which he has painted in the scheme of his "The Power Wolfs".
It's from an old FASA set dating from 1988 on the box:

He also painted up an Enforcer (to the left on the picture) out of the latest Introductory Boxed Game finishing the mechs he had in cue.





The entire force:


We use these to play Alpha strike (a more fast and young kid suited) version of Battletech occasionally and he really likes that.

Arthur also painted up the second Matchbox car we kitted up with stuff from the Gaslands parts-sprue. He has painted it the same way as the car he has entered for Sander's Sanddunes.







That leaves me with a little explanation regarding the Challenge Island map and the points.




In  RED you can follow my progress across the Island, while I have plans and figures for all locations, I do not think I will be able to actually visit each location, which bums me out mightily. In PURPLE you'll be able to follow Arthur who's only going to travel the Path of History. The GREEN arrow denotes our joined effort to gain Snow Lord's Peak's treasure...

Now if I count it right the points this lot leaves Arthur with, should amount to the following:
- 15 for the 20mm vehicle
- 10 for the 2 mechs who are basically 28mm is height
- 30 for the Challenge Island Millsy's Millpond bonus
Totals to 55 points right?

Cheers Arthur and Sander


Very nice work Arthur, especially on the car - great colour scheme!
