Leon,
That's not my raptor riders, the ones pictured are O Dynas Powys's, mine are the tan and brown ones! You've copied the wrong ones from the thread or misnamed me as a potential winner!
Voted :D every single Entry deserves to be a Winner imo 8)
This prompted me to have a look at some of Aart's posts and his blog. He will certainly be missed.

Obviously the clones have got their mind on other things trying to decide which gets to be honeymoon clone!
I presume the entries have been conflated and we should both be in ;)
Cheers!

Hi, Leon I think that you forgot a compartment to vote for the photo "BH62 Prussian Uhlan" !! :d

Oops, my mistake! I've changed the name on the original ones, and then I've added yours to the bottom of the list as well, so you're both in there!

I'm not doing very well this year! I have added a box for your Uhlans at the bottom of the list, and moved the picture to the end as well.

I've locked away all the clones by telling them there was chocolate in the cupboard and locking the door behind them. They may be let out if Dave needs a hand in the workshop while I'm away.
Should I mention O Dynas Powys's entry still has my name on it! :P

Drat, double drat and BLAST! To quote D. Dastardly esq.
I think this is a tough one, but i would like to share what i voted and why:
Barbarian's Hetzer : was in love with it the moment i saw it, don't no why, but it just works for me i guess
Xanthe93's converted Walker : love the contrast between the colour of the walker and the base. (one of the few times where i like a bright model)
Luddite's Fantasy Army : Nice painting, and i really like the basing (and that new way of paining black borders of the bases are a nice touch)
And Leon, what if the (not yet)wife notices it's not a clone? :p

The real Leon is easy to spot though, He shoots out new Leon clones when you get him wet at night.

take care

Many many thank's to all who voted for me, i did not expect to win this , there were some truly excellent entries this year and it took me ages to pick my favorite.
The Aart Brouwer peoples award( this is a great way to remember a nice guy) was the cherry on the cake for me as it's you chaps doing the voting( not taking anything away from the comp judges ,what a hard task) , so once again, many many thanks. Interesting to read Noshers comment that the winning entries came from all the new ranges, a good painter can make most figures look pretty reasonable but to achieve great results you have to have great figures, the figures/vehicles being sculpted by Clib, Techno and Mart are really excellent so they defiantly deserve a mention here.
A big thanks to Leon /Dave and all the pendraken team and sponsors for making this a fantastic competition, and all you chaps who entered, long may it continue.
A very happy,
kev
well done Kev - superbly painted and well deserved 8)
Agree with Kev's comments on the mini sculpturs - absolutely stunning new ranges. Congrats to the deserving winners - the bench mark keeps being raised year on year.
I would still like to see more people voting though (which Ive said every year), but thats just me. I hate to see wasted democracy.
Well done kev.
Congrats to Kev - excellent work as always.
Scolty
:)
Nice one, Kev. Brilliant figures - a worthy winner.
Dear forum members and dear Kev(and some number I forgot),
Congratulations winning the Aart Brouwer People's Choice Award with your French Cavalry Kev. A very appropriate winner since I think Aart would really have loved it.
And you all, keep up the good painting work, Aart really loved painting his puppets (it sounds like I don't respect it, but joking together we called them something similar in Dutch), especially the last months of his live when he wasn't able to do much else then bending forward over his table with some 10 mm in his hands, painting, painting and painting (and he was of course as always thinking about new projects, something with ships that arrived after he passed away). It has been really important for him being able to do so.
It's really nice to see that you are still remembering him and honoring him with this contest. Thank you for that! One day I will tell Lucas, our one year old son that he has to take a look on this forum if he wants to understand a little of his fathers love for miniatures and wargaming.
sincerely,
Wendel
Dank u, Wendel. All the best to you and Lucas.
Hi Wendel,
Thank you very much, this year was a great year for me in the competition and winning Aarts peoples choice award was the highlight of it all. This forum has a really friendly community, of which Aart was a very popular contributor and this is a great way to remember a really well liked man.
I do hope that one day Lucas follow's in his fathers footsteps, and hope to see him posting on here in a few years time.
Warmest regards to you both, and all the best for the future,
kev
I just hope it shows Lucas what a good man Aart was. He is still missed.
Well said, Will.
Cheers - Phil
Absolutely.
Thanks for the post Wendel, it's really nice to hear from you, I hope you and Lucas are both doing well.
It actually just occurred to me last night that the last order we sent over to Aart was some of the League of Augsburg figures, the exact same ones Kev won this award with. A rather nice yet poignant coincidence.
Serendipity indeed.
