Painting table cleared!

As many of you will know tomorrow Is the start of the AHPC (Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge). This is my 3rd year. So I thought I should spend a few hours just finishing things that were on my painting table ready for the Challenge.

So before I even think about starting the challenge. Here are the last few figures. They are all Secrets of the Third Reich figures by West Wind Productions. Mostly they were started last week.


As you can see 2 Riflemen one with an AR44 the next with a carbine. Then and officer pointing, but he does carry a pistol. And on the right a MG team.  The Mg Team is supposed to have 3 men on the base, but I found that a little crowded so I have only 2. While they both have holstered pistols their main job is to crew the MG. I will admit to owning 2 more MG's so it is possible I will put 3 crew on the base in the future. But as I am happy with the 2 crew  I suspect I will keep it at 2.  But No promises as the future is a dim  and distant foggy land and anything could happen.

As you can clearly see I am continuing with the Oak leaf spring pattern as it is both fun to paint AND I like the look. And that is reason enough.

The only bad news is that I have just about run out of the LIGHT green and cannot see me getting a restock this year! So further SotTR will mainly be in Autumn and not spring.




As the AHPC will now start in less than a day (3 hours I think BUT I will check) I am pleased the painting table is now clear. I have figures prepped and ready and I see some painting starting today.

What I will start with will actually be a mixture. I NEED to do some 10mm Zulus so they will be started, I also have some WW1 Cavalry in 28mm but in addition I have a hankering for some western figures so that might also need to happen soon.

But Until it does, take care have fun and paint like crazy!

    1. Thanks Bryan. I will get on with some painting a little later for the challenge. But it is a marathon and not a sprint. So no rush needed to start with.

    1. Thanks Joe.
      The painting table is no longer cleared! I am just trying to decide if I should do a quick paint to get some points on the table or something bigger. If it is a small paint I can get about 30 points done by Thursday. Or I could go for something more impressive, say 100 points by Sunday. Not sure yet. I will have to wait and see.

    1. Thank you Simon. At the end of the War Germany was using everything it had, so was not at all concerned about the individuals clothing. More that they could carry a gun.

  12. That leaves Catorex as a brand that will appeal replica Rolex the most to confident watch collectors who are keen to try on the designs that replica orologi Catorex produces at really reasonable prices. Those consumers will be brand agnostics replica watches and mostly interested in having a quality watch, with a particular design, at a particularly replica watches uk accessible price point. Indeed, I know that “Catorex” as a name doesn’t sound like what fake rolex most people think of as a fancy watch brand. But doesn’t it sound very powerful as some sort fake Rolex of industrial cleaner or medical solution? Realistically, not all consumers will think about the replica rolex brand name in this way. Watch fans in the West with more familiarity with English might take pause, but those who doesn’t speak replica Rolex English as well will probably not mind. This actually opens up the possibility that Catorex could use its skills and make a separate fake watches brand under a new name for different audiences.

  13. I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through all my life a weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing  the internet searching on how i could be transformed into a powerful when i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a  VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
