SimonG: Absolute Chaos -- How Come It's Starting Already!

Great to be back again for my third run around the AHPC -- despite all my plans to be well prepared I'm once again up to my neck in half finished projects.

For those that don't know me I'm a 50+ mostly retired Englishman who rediscovered my teenage hobby of miniatures just as we entered lockdown in 2020. Since then I've actually managed to finish one project (28mm HYW) but have several others still on the go.

On the deck for this time is the continuation of my 28mm skirmish Jewish Wars project -- with the major focus this time around being terrain. In fact a reproduction of one corner of the Antonia Fortress and Temple Mount circa 73CE.  This has been great fun learning lots of new skills such as MDF construction, paper crafts (for tiling), and working with clay to put a finish on all my fortifications.

As you can see it's still all a bit of a mess, today I've been trying to apply PVA sealant and hope to have it all undercoated for the kick off. It's a 1.2m square setup based on four 60cm square blocks. I'm looking forward to sharing more with you as I go along.

My other projects will be the continuation of my 10mm 1980s cold war Soviet/British project and expect to see more Black Rose Wars miniatures plus new this time -- Descent Legends of the Dark.

So lots to keep me occupied in my office come hobby room -- the cupboards are stuffed full of paints, brushes and materials all ready to go. The room is about 12' square, so not particularly large but theres plenty of storage in a void under the mezzanine floor of the next room up -- just mind your had as you struggle to get around in there. It's rapidly filling up with KR cases full of completed miniatures, terrain and the like.

So heads down to get all the prep work done before next Wednesday (when I promptly head off to Paris for the holidays) -- and hope to be sharing much more with you over the coming few months.
