Dance of Bronze 28

 Recently postined in this year's AHPC XIII here is the second entry for this year and it is both small in scale and points; not that either really matter it's the fun of being that counts. 

The entry consists of two torsion catapults from Baccus Miniatures that evaded glued fingers and general mishaps in the prepping and painting. The catapults are four part kits and needed some help with blu-tack to prop bits up during drying. Still managed to have a bit of slippage on one but it's not the end of the world at 1/300 scale.





For the Challenge Points tally these net a hefty 6 points total which takes my running total to 14 (2.8 % of my challenge total). There are a few things in the pipeline that will improve that over the next few weeks. 

Anyhow, enough rambling and cheers for now!

Back to the Brushes 364

Pushed on through the veil of a cold to continue with two very different sets of Romans:


Republican Roman Triarii from Gripping Beast for Age of Hannibal and 15mm Early Imperial Romans from Plastic Soldier Company and Essex Miniatures for ADLG.

Still really like the Gripping Beast Republicans although many now prefer Victrix and Aventine for this period. 


The temporary hold - shields and transfers - on the EIR has now been resolved and will be looking to get some progress on these this week for future AHPC XII posts.

Cheers for now.

Back to the Brushes 359

RayR's recent post made me have a look at the calendar and realise that AHPC XIIII is 6 days away and I haven't started the ritual tidying of the hobby desk. The picture below shows the daily carnage that I call a hobby desk and a poor attempt has been made to start the tidy up.


More pictures to follow over the weekend - time allowing - including some of the prep work started for this year's challenge including:

  • 28mm Republican Romans for SAGA: Age of Hannibal
  • 28mm Carthaginians for SAGA: Age of Hannibal
  • 28mm Late Romans
  • 15mm Early Imperial Romans for ADLG
  • 15mm Arabs for ADLG
  • 15mm Thracians for DBA and ADLG
  • 15mm Wars of the Roses for ADLG
  • 6mm Punic and Macedonian Wars for Age of Hannibal (LittleWarsTV) and DBA
Looking forward to the off and following everyone's progress in paint. 

Cheers for now, 
Ross
