AHPC XIII - First 3 Submissions

 First of all, apologies for the lack of posts recently. I was ill over Christmas up until New Year and it had left me wiped out. For about a week afterwards I was recuperating and catching up on all the stuff I hadn't been able to do while ill.

I managed to get back to painting just over a week ago, but not in time to get a submission in last Friday.

The start of my illness wasn't too bad. Bad enough to stop me travelling to Sussex for Christmas, but not bad enough to prevent me from finishing my first entry.

Entry #1 - Klegg Hai!

I had fun painting this trio of alien mercenaries for Judge Dredd games. You can find the full post here. Having decided to participate in this year's Challenge Map frolics, these were my submission for the SciFi studio.

Entry #2 Judge Dredd Bust

For the next studio on the map, Black & White, I decided to paint up this bust of Old Stony Face. The full post is here.

This was the 50% scale bust - I still have the 75% and 25% ones which have been primed.

Entry #3 German AFVs

The next studio to hit was "Under Construction". Normally for the Challenge you can't submit any figures or models that have been started (ie more than just priming) before it begins. This studio does allow you to submit work which had been started beforehand but you don't get points for those models/figures, just the studio bonus points. You might remember that I hit a bit of a block with these three vehicles back in August - this studio was the perfect excuse to break through that block. I did get a few extra points though as I also painted the commander for the StuG and the loader for the 37mm in the 251/10. I submitted this entry in the same post as the Dredd bust.

I've started work on figures for my next two studio visits - High Adventure and Westerns. If all goes well, I should have a bigger entry for the "Swords & Sandals" studio as well next Friday.
