Best 'I have no idea what category this goes in'
I hope you know what you've let yourself in for, Will.
But, really........ good for you, Matey. :-bd
Cheers - Phil.
Now I know how you got your nickname. :D
If I get a weekend free I'll be sure to sharpen my paint brush.
Thanks for doing this.
Note no 'Best tank beginning with C produced by Britain between 1945-1960' FSN, you'll have to rough it in the AFV section!
Nice one Will. At least a couple of categories I can tackle there with my current painting schedule.
Short one; where it says '...to 18th century' I guess that means '...including the 18th century' or '...up to 19th century', correct?
Cheers,
Rob
Thanks for that. 18th Century 1701-1800 Ninetheenth Century 1801-1900 Twentieth 1901 (or end of Boer war/Death of Victoria) etc...

Lemmey! Put your teeth back in!
Schoory. I have modified dates. 8)
There is an historical argument that the Twentieth century should be described as a 'Short Century', 1912 to 1990, whereas the 18th Century should be a 'long-century' From 1688 to 1815!
But then, you end up with epochs, such as the Belle Epoch (1871-1914)
And the only decent epoch comes in an etched champagne bottle!

Sounds like the sort of verbal delirium that calls Australia a western country, or gets American teenagers to say thing like "No sex, only oral" and think they're making sense, or had an Italian poet label the door to Hell as being made by wisdom and love, or induced one of my Thai students to ask me if I wanted "noodles without noodles" at a street restaurant (come to think of it, a decade later she came up with "I'm not an atheist; I just don't believe in God").
I wish the mothership would come and get me off this planet.

I was just worried the 18th century would be left out when that is virtually the only period I painted in 10mm the past months :D
Cheers,
Rob
No way would we leave it out Rob

Has it occurred to you that that may already have happened?
Also is it possible to get a "Best head-swap" category?
I know it's not painting as such but they do have to be painted after.
Gosh, that's . . . . a lot . . . . of categories.
Good luck!
Cheers, M.

Well, we're the descendants of the 'B' ark, IIRC. I don't think that there's a rescue mission on it's way.
Cheers, M.

That is certainly a lot of categories!
I think I have entries for many - and can knock up a few more in the coming weeks all being well.
I was hoping to get into the "He's having a go, bless him" category.... ???
Oh! Competition is it! :D
Bring it on ErHo!

I think we'll take you with us. Someone needs to clean out the reactors on the return to Sirius.

Just so I know where I am going is that Sirius Major or Minor?
Can we have a category
"The worst painted miniature" I am guaranteed to win with some of the Turbil Offerings :D
QuoteC produced by Britain between 1945-1960'
Blast, thee goes my hopes for an easy win with a Comet, Churchill or Conqueror
apart from the army category, are the other ones individual figures, single bases or single figures?

No it don't - all three in full production in 1945, at least till may. Now if it said 1950, but even then there are at least 2 types you can use...let you work em out.

In previous years we've had number restrictions, but this year, go for what you want.

Is this something I can suggest to Mrs Orcs as to the number of women in my bedroom?

I think my point was that if there was a category for tanks beginning with C in production from 1945-1960 I'd enter with three tanks which weren't centurions.
