Aloha everyone!
Another AHPC Season comes to an end - this was my 11th but the first I've entered while living overseas (which was quite challenging!). World events and work travel cut into my time but that made my brush time all the more enjoyable for its restorative effects.

This year saw me tackle some different projects: Dystopian Wars, Astronauts and Cosmonauts on the moon, a new Crimean War army, and some Retro- SciFi figures. Naturally, the broad shift away from GW figures meant my skull count was well down this year!
I really enjoyed the return of the Bonus Rounds this year and entered all three. I was thrilled to pick up a shared second place in the "Toy Story" theme with my Moon Walkers.
| The struggle is real: well done Alan! |
Thank you fellow challengers for making it such fun, particularly our ANZAC paint and chat crew for the banter (and having Curt dial in for the start was especially cool!). I hope we can continue these sessions post challenge.

Accolades as always to Curt, Sarah and the fabulous minions who enable the entire enterprise. I deeply appreciate the time, effort and focus you deliver with a wonderful sense of humour.
Aloha & Mahalo! Until next time everyone :-)


Considering the disruption to your painting time Paul, that is still a great output and mid-ranking in your Challenge 'history'. I loved the space things you were doing - lots of childhood memories for me. The paint catchups have been great and it is nice to see the view from your paint room :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard, appreciated - I enjoyed our chats (with all the Ashes series sledging of the Brits!) along the way too and hope we can keep doing more!
DeleteWonderful output Paul and a great chart. The view from your painting room would be hard to beat.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom - true, but its a little distracting (in the best possible way)!
DeleteGreat stuff mate,
ReplyDeleteGood to see some old favourites on the desk.
Cheers
Matt
