From PeterB. AHPC wrap up. The hobby butterfly strikes again

I said it all in my last post really, but thank you all for a wonderful first challenge. My target was a modest 500 points as I wasn't sure on my speed or spare time, but post Christmas I managed to post at least one post a week. I originally felt being a newbie and not competitive at all to finish near the bottom of the table wouldn't be a problem. Then halfway through it looked like a top ten finish was a possibility. I was pipped at the post however by the excellent last minute efforts from Tamsin and Millsy, a fact I am totally content with. (Shaky fist!) 

In all seriousness though, I really just wanted to get the project done that had been haunting me, sat on my official GW painting tray for nigh on two years. My Zulu War Perry Plastics. Well, goal achieved. I had great fun painting and getting all the great feedback (my personal blogging comments section remains thinly commented in comparison.) Many other models were painted too and my lead pile is looking diminished. (They never empty do they?)

I had multiple poses tested in photos taken, I'm confident in going with two thumbs up.

Well there you go. I've had to make an order of mdf bases at one point, more foam trays to store all this and I've run out of tufts. (Are all these taken into account for the economic value? ;-) )

The Space Marine sits behind me now and looms over me in Zoom meetings for work.

If you want to see more of my painting throughout the year, I go by PlayingwithLead on facebook or on the blog at https://playingwithlead.blogspot.com

Otherwise, see you next year.
