Heya there, for my post this week I want to take a bite out of my painting backlog shaped by the very kinds of themed painting challenges that first drew my attention to the AHPC. Also I want to over come some slack in my points progress as end of the this year's AHPC draws near. Thus my model count here is few, but each parcel of panting does ding its own challenge point check box..
I jumped off of Lady Sarah’s Library Cart to meet the Maritime challenge with a Star-Spawn of Cthulhu mini that Wizkids Games put out for Pathfinder a few years back. According to the pathfinderwiki.com, the smallest Star-Spawn stands nearly 30 feet in height, (cited from "Wake of the Watcher," a Pathfinder RPG adventure) Thus, I am assuming this elder thing bursting up from deep waters can be scored as a 54 mm mini and also ding me a check box for the Maritime Library challenge ( or if not the Maritime Challenge, then I submit this old one mini for consideration under the Romance Novel challenge... after all who among us does not harbor a mad dark love within their spoiled hearts for the remorseless cosmic might of Cthulhu and his spawn)
The tank may at first seem a little out of place between an aegis of cosmic horror and a couple figures for frozen fantasy, but for me to meet the challenge for Local History, this Sherman Tank M4 model (2002, ArmourFast, 1/72 plastic kit, No 99001) is very similar to the Sherman M4 Tank War Memorial that still stands proudly in my old childhood neighborhood.
I aim to be somewhat brief and concise with my posts, so rather than recount the Local Tank War Memorial's history, I will instead provide link to a site describing the real M4 Tank of my childhood memories.
