From PeterB - A Time Traveller and another Dreadnought (90 points)

This week we start on the first floor Rotunda. With one subject left to visit, the travel section. Well, with this travelling there is only one thing to say, where we're going, we don't need roads. This traveller is of the time travelling kind of course.

I have pictured him with his travelling companion just for interest, the young lad was painted pre-challenge so I won't be claiming points for him.

I had a good delve in the garage to find something to cover the Naval category and found this French WW2 Marine from the British Model Soldier Society. Needless to say after finding him I discovered a slight error, so the category remains unticked.

So, swiftly moving on, a quick jump on Sarah's cart to travel over to the gift shop. To pay for the journey this offering from Bad Squiddo games. 

For the gift shop I present another Dreadnought. After last weeks vintage Dread, my youngest son got this brand new one for Christmas. Previously he has declared his wish to paint these things but then a change of mind meant I have ended up doing it. This new kit was a bit of a nightmare to be honest. It was so many parts, supposedly made to be adjustable but then once painted they don't anyway. The shoulder connections needed filing down so they could swivel, otherwise the dreadnought would be pointing it's gun and fist to the sky. It comes with a choice of two guns as well, I did paint both, but I suspect repeated swapping of weapons will weaken the connection.

The points

Two stack visits 2 x 20 points = 40 points

Two 28mm models 2 x 5 points = 10 points

1 trip on the cart = 20 points

Total = 70 points

Sylvain: I instantly recognized "Doc" from "Back to the future". Very good paint job on these miniatures. And the dreadnought is very impressive.

As for points, the minions discussed the "double dip" phenomena and would recommend that a single model be used for a single location, so the young lady should be used to claim points for either the "gift shop" and "cart trip". So that would bring your library bonuses down from 60 to 40 points.

However, the good news is that GW Dreadnoughts are considered 28mm vehicles at 20 points. So this would bump up your score by 15 points.

Grand total: 65 points.

Nicely done! 

Sylvain: Some amendments need to be done, as described in PeterB's comment, below. The revised total is now 90 points. Thanks for catching my mistakes!
