AHPC X - First entry Dave D's Challenge Island

At last! I've finally got something painted!!!

I've had a bit of a nightmare, like other Challengers I had grand plans of what I was going to paint

over the Christmas break, then on Boxing Day, I went and did my back in!

No I wasn't at the gym, or swimming, or doing gardening or even DIY. 

Its all Posties fault, the git had the audacity to knock on my front door!

In the act of getting out of the chair to answer the door, my back decided it'd had enough for the day

and seized up. By the evening I was in agony, next day Diazipam and Tramadol ended my Christmas totally. For the next week I sat in the chair dribbling!!

So painting was well out the window!

Well now I'm back! Although the said back is still not all that clever to be honest. But I can at least sit at the desk, paintbrush in hand!

Phew!

My first entry sees me attack Challenge Island, here. I'm starting on the Path of the Forgotten at Docherty's Dock. I have seen this figure already painted up, but can't remember who entered it. The figure is from Black Tree Designs and will be added to my Donnybrook Moor army.

It's was a fairly simple paintjob, and I'm pleased with how Mr Moor and his camel Dave turned out!

I'm more pleased with my newly made grass tutfs! I  was bought the tuft machine the Xmas before last, then a month before the Challenge I made up a few sheets, its a bit messy but well worth the effort!
The figures earned me 40 points, pushing me up the table to No 49.
