Too many terrific entries to comment on them individually, but as someone rather new to the 10mm scene, the competition definitely beautifully illustrates both the impressive factor of entire units and armies of 10mm miniatures while also highlighting the amount of detail that can still be achieved on them. Very inspiring stuff all around!

Might only have time to finish and photograph one or two entries for myself this year, but hope to be back next year with an entire army perhaps...

Hi everyone - thank you for the kind welcome. I am sorry to have been so slow to reply...I'm not exactly a genius at using these forums... ~X(

While I may be useless at posting replies in threads, I have been a keen fan of the forum and the painters here for some time. There is some really, really great work here, and it inspires all the time - you guys pulled me into 10mm in the first place! I started with FPW a couple years ago, and have gone to other eras from there...I hope to share more going forward.

Best of luck to all, and thanks again!

There's some cracking stuff this year, good luck to everyone!  I'll be turning the entry threads off a little after midnight to give our Stateside members enough time to get their entries in.  Then we'll get the voting threads up at around midday on Monday.

Just managed to finish varnishing my last entry (while watching the Great Pottery Throw-up). Its dry and photographed and somehow got it up-loaded before the deadline.
Thankyou Leon for bringing the painting competition back. It is always great to see what can be done in this most wonderful scale and this year the standard is raised again.

Many thanks to Leon for loading my photos for me.

Having had a look around, I think there are some stunning entries this time round.  Good luck everyone.

Some tricky choices and painful omissions to be made in voting.

A really great competition and some truly inspirational painting and basing styles.

I await the results with baited breath  :D
