After some word class waffling on my part (I was in, I was out, no I'm back in again) I am officially listed as a participant in Curt's Analogue Hobbies painting challenge.
- What is my personal painting "par"? 800 points
- How did I get there? The same way I do actuarial projections - with a dart board and a hand full of d6s. Or in this case, I figured that I could do two 24 man battalions of 28mm in a month (120 points a pop), times 3 months plus an optimistic round up gets me 800 points.
- Do I have any specific target units to paint (like those other clever bloggers who have planned out detailed project plans? Excuse me while I pick myself up off the floor. I can't plan next week let alone 3 months, but it's likely that I'll challenge Tim Gow for variety of periods and scales.
- Now that the the contest has started, how are you faring compared to the early front runners? My total to date is zippo, Nada, diddlysquat, doughnuts, SFA, exactly equal to the number of NHL games played this season
good target, now get painting:)

Yes Sir!!!
DeleteInterresting approach to your par. We will doubtlessly sail the same anonymous middlish ocean during this challenge. Would you need a point of focus on a flat oil sea, I'll probably be somewhere neer. Good luck to you sailor!
ReplyDeleteAhoy matey!
Delete800 points, no pressure then! we've only been going 2 days and I'm already been distracted by non historical projects.

DeleteFortunately the only non-historical projects I have to worry about are the ones in the present day "Honey Do" list.

LOL... did the Edinbouroghers hold up score cards marking you for degree of difficulty and interpretation?? :o))
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the competition... my painting totals are way off this year...

DeleteThey were mostly polite, but I'm sure comments were made about it at the dinner table that night. I was off course equipped with the mandatory large backpack with Canadian Flag on the back!
Cheers
