1) you get to see what everyone else is up to.
2) that extra effort everyone brings in.
3) New members and their take on things.
4) Prause and beating deadlines.
And
5) starting new projects, Falklands, Samuari and League of Augsberg for me.

Thanks Leon and Save for organising, good luck hudges! 8)

Yes, thank you Leon and Dave for putting this all on.
And thank you to the judges, too. Without them (like a referee at a sports match) none of this could work.

For me the competition has brought about the motivation to paint some 10mm bits and to get more involved on this forum (when I'm not falling foul of the rules  ;) )

Good luck everyone!

Agreed. Thank you hudges (are they like Spanish judges?)

I entered not in any expectation of winning, but it was fun.

I enter to make up the numbers - not that the competition needs more participants.  :)
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

I shall from henceforth regard myself as one of the 'hudges'.
But I don't know who this 'Save' is, or what this prause that Will's after is ?  ;)
Anyone ? ;)
