With some sadness I've come to the end of my third cycle around the AHPC quarter. It's been another great experience and a points total I'm sure I will never get any where close to again given an unexpected bonanza with my Jewish Revolt Temple Mount terrain!
Once again I get to bless you with my ugly mug and the fruits of my labours, which included this time around ...
... The last vehicles for my 1980s Cold War Gone Hot project -- all that remains are the BAOR infantry figures (10mm camo, fiddly stuff) ...
... A smattering of vignettes to meet the needs of the AHPC XIII Studio Challenge -- luckily I have lots of shelf space to display these things ...
... More Descent and Black Rose Wars characters, always fun to try out different painting techniques ...
... And the Jews ...
... And Romans for my Jewish Revolt project along with the temple as a sample of the large terrain I worked on -- still plenty more to add for this one and I'm taking delivery of lots of other base figures to work up and add in!
It only remains to say thanks once again to my fellow Tuesday toreadors, to Tamsin for excellent minioning once again, to Lady Sarah for inspiring an exploration of the world of high fashion, to Curt for being the mastermind and ongoing inspiration for this whole shebang, and to all who participated in, commented on and overall made this another great experience -- see you all again in December!
Postscript- I forgot my Nogs, now that my Wife has them in the Kitchen, so here’s a hello from them too
Happy to have shared the Tuesdays with you this year. Excellentg output and hope to see you again next december

DeleteYou had a great challenge Simon. Your Temple Mount is amazing
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter, now to start thinking about what to do next year!
DeleteQuite a lot of different stuff there, Simon! Nice output for a three month Challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teemu -- variety is the spice of life and so on 😃 sorry I couldn't squeeze all the terrain in (the last bits just got packed up in my new 50L RUBs!)
Deletethe temple mount was epic
ReplyDeleteYou could even say it was "Biblical" bah dum!
DeleteThanks Martin!
Excellent output but we need Solomons temple next year,just think of the points!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
But if I do the First Temple too I need all of those Babylonians and Jeconiahn jews too -- can we make do with the Second Temple 😂
DeleteYou have accomplished much this year, Simon. Your Temple Mount piece was absolutely amazing! It was great to see your work, see you in the next Challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martijn and looking forward to crossing paintbrushes with you next time too
DeleteGreat looking minis, Simon. Congratulations on meeting your points target (and then some. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI’d carefully planned just to meet it then Tamsin blessed me with a bucket of points - not to be repeated I suspect 🤪
DeleteExcellent output, Simon, and that Temple Mount terrain deserved all the points it was awarded. :)
ReplyDeleteI would have hand painted the friezes for that many points 🥳 thanks again for all the support over the past three months
DeleteSome fine work this Challenge Simon. Love Noggin the Nog and chums!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray. Noggin seems to be a fan favourite
DeleteA wonderful Challenge wrap-up, Simon. The temple is epic. Love the nogs! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt. Really appreciate all of your messages of support
DeleteExcellent work Simon. The Nogs are my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter
DeleteGreat work, Simon, I loved the goats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barks, they’ll be keeping an eye on you until AHPC XIV
DeleteLoved your stuff Simon hope to see you next Challenge
ReplyDeleteThanks Sander -- looking forward to it and already starting planning
DeleteI'm glad you remembered the Nogs, I thought they were wonderful! Great work Simon, that Pucci print still stands out!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Tom, and the Nogs say thanks too!
DeleteGreat work Simon, all lovely stuff, although the Cold-War-Gone-Hot does particularly call to me. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg. For some reason I can only manage so much small scale khaki at a time but I do like the end results 😃
DeleteGrand work, Simon! I especially liked your Jewish Revolt project both figures and terrain....now get cracking on the residential and market sections! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhile that sounds like a great idea David it would mean digging down below the level of the current temple mount sections which sounds like a bit too much --- I do have another terrain location in mind for next year however, so keep a look out for that!
