Pulp Pacific preparations

 

So, prep work has finally started on some required elements for a new PULP alley campaign, China Station. The gunship is by Sarissa with Pulp Figures hardware and figures. The two junks are 3D Russian 'puzzles' that I bought many, many years ago. 

AHPC XIII wrap up and week 7 post that never got posted to this blog.

Total production from this years challenge

 

 

So, I have been remiss during the last weeks of the challenge and failed to post any production photos. Above you can see almost everything that I painted in the winter months (a few items somehow missed this photo session) Fairly eclectic in scope, shows my normal amount of unfocused hobbying. I find myself rather happy to have finished certain items, most of all, all the vehicles, the forests and the Dwarf legionnaire figures. My only disappointment was not getting started on the GW plastic fortresses, they were all primed, but I just ran out of time.

Mostly GW figures, maybe Ral Partha figures Will Scarlett

Mix of Gorillas

Pulp Figures island of Dr Moreau

Mix of Nuns on the run

The Flying Squad

GW forest

So this week I finished off 31 x 28mm figures and 4 GW forests, not much. I do have a lot of stuff nearing completion, maybe for post 7. None of these figures needed to be done this week, beyond fulfillment of studio and limo requirements. They were for the most part just a random grab.

Mighty Fortress, possible AHPC XIII entry

 

 So, inspired by a fellow challenger and his wall project, I have been poking around the garage for some old GW stuff. On the painting table right now are 4 forests terrain features. They might be ready for this Saturday. But, the item I was looking for in the garage was the mighty fortress, three in fact. I found them.

 

I think this may become a background project to be worked on during the course of the challenge. Three mighty fortress consist of 13 wall sections (including gate sections) for a total length of 390cm roughly 192". There are also 8 towers roughly 5.5" square.

The points calculation

Each 6" square cube counts as 20 points.

The 4 wall sections when placed side by side form a square roughly 12" by 13". 

So that would be 4 x 20 = 80 points per fortress, x3 for a total of  = 240 points. 

Four towers make a square roughly 11" by 11" so 20 x 4 = 80 per fort x3 = 240 points. 

My admittedly poor math skills suggests that this may well net 480 points for the 3 fortresses. Then add in 20 points for the lone extra wall section (1/4 of 80 points) and this would bring the total to 500 points. This would be nice to go out on.
