Can I post in the "anything" category with my Russian army? (It has a little bit of Pithead  :()

Yeah, an army would be fine, but you'd need to hide the Pithead stuff though!

Am I right in thinking there should only be one model in the vehicle category?
I have three panthers done and was going to enter one but see some entries have more than one vehicle in them?
cheers

Yep, only one base/vehicle per entry.  I usually pop a quick email through to any entries which don't meet the criteria.

How are people getting around the filesize issue for uploading????  :(

I know I am a self confessed IT Illiterate but I simply cannot post anything other than a thumbnail sized pic whatever I seem to try?  :-[

What am I doing wrong  :o and why cant I post large pics or more than two pics in a single post?  :'(
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

We've passed the 100 entries mark, actually 110 now!  Great stuff on show so far, I wonder what the last 8 days will bring?!   :-bd

Um Leon, I know that only 2 people from each category will get a prize, but after the competition is over are the judges allowed to let us know how many points each of our entries received (only for those that want to know, of course)? That way, everyone who participated would get a little bit of feed back on how they did. Maybe it could be sent through a PM.

Please?  ;) :D
Thanks, Peter

Anyone who receives at least a point from the Judges, but doesn't win a prize, will go into the People's Choice Award, where all of the board members get to vote on who their favourite is.  So if you don't get a main prize, and aren't in the People's Choice, then unfortunately you didn't receive any points.   :(

The downside of so many entries is that a lot of people won't get any points, but we hope that everyone enjoys taking part, maybe gets a few tips/ideas for the future, and makes a little progress on their own personal lead mountain.

Not really no.  A few people have entered a base of foot in the Foot Category, and then entered their whole army (including those foot figures) in the 'Anything Goes' category, which is OK.

If we do get in to the People's Choice award and don't win, can you still tell us how many points we received.

Cheers - Phil.

Yeah, that's no bother.  You can either make a new post with a better picture, or email me the link for a new image, and I'll edit it into the current entry.

Only 3 days left folks, don't leave it too late!

Also a quick note, I've gone through and edited some of the entries, sizes on some, and others changed from attachments to hosting, so just in case anyone was wondering why their entry showed an 'edited' note!

Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

Less than a dozen entries in both the 20th C. Foot and the Vehicle category's, could be better odds of winning a prize in those two...  :-\

Oy Leon, I've been banking on my chances in the vehicle class with the lack of numbers. I can't paint anything else at the moment as my Conservatory which is my painting room is currently being redone with a new roof and my paints etc are all packed up. They should have been done on Friday, but they weren't. >:(

Leon

Well over 200 entries now!   :o

Only 2 days left though, so not long left to get those final entries in!
