First time i've entered after lurking for years.  I was scared off of the historical competitions by the amazing standard of work there!  The Muslims and the Tirailliers are just outstanding. Two good examples from different ends of the gaming spectrum.
The Hoplites and Napoleonics are very special too, all in all not a single weak entry anywhere!

Well welcome Baron lurker.

I agree, what some can achieve is incredible. 
For me, I am happy to see pics of any fellow nutter enthusiast's work that has something other than a single coat of spray primer.

But I remember that WAS a good game. Long before they turned phones into cameras though.   :D

Some incredible entries as always and I finally managed to snap some pics for a few entries this afternoon. As always it's going to be hard to select your favourites, given the quality of work already on show.

Good luck everyone.  It's an amazing spread of work from some very talented people.

I have to say that early on I thought I had a reasonable chance in a few categories but now... well, whoever wins definitely deserves it. Quality entries all around ladies and gents!

=D>  :-bd   Just voted and found it very tough.  Especially in the pre-20C foot where it took me 4 "pass throughs" to get down to the top 10. My apologies to all those I didn't vote for because I would have done if I was allowed more votes. I hope the artists in every category enjoyed creating their entries as much as I enjoyed drooling over them.  =P~  =P~


PS if someone out there could help me better the UK's usual showing in the Eurovision song contest that would be nice!  B)    8->

This is how I feel, so many brilliant entries (including many of yours) and such stiff competition. Always incredibly impressed at the levels of brushwork out there. Good luck to all!

It wasn't easy to narrow the foot entries down to five.

You were able to vote? Nothing showing for me via unread posts. Off for a proper check now!

Found them in the Painting Comp section (no surprise there) but no idea why they didn't show via the Unread Posts button. Anyway, votes in and as always, very hard to narrow down to 5 votes per category. Bon chance to all who entered!

I create them ahead of time in a separate area of the Forum, so that might be why they don't appear as Unread posts.

Just been through voting (well apart from armies, saving that for another time!) there are some really great entries. The pre-20th century foot was particularly strong - had 10 in my first top 5!

Five votes per category this year and it's still difficult to choose. Well done everyone. Good luck.

I am extremely fond of that AWI-army! And those syw-Bavarians by shrimproll are pieces of art! 2 para is great too! Good luck to all participants!
