Have now voted on all categories except 20th Century Foot because Ironduke's photos appear to be missing - will wait until either these appear (or withdrawn?)

I'm not sure why they're not showing for you there, they're fine at this end?  I uploaded Ironduke's to our own Flickr account so the link/hosting should be fine.  Are his other entries in other categories showing for you?

Now there for me, also (heh! what's going on?)  :o   Definitely not available for me to view earlier (I'll check the other cats & if any problem found I'll flag it) :-\

Have now voted, thanks.  :-bd
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

As I do in elections (so I can have a legitimate voice, and more importantly because so many have truly sacrificed so I can) I have submitted my votes. I must say that it is not easy, and it sure would have been better if we had gone with the 25 votes per category!!! ;D

I want to say again, this is a really awesome thing that Leon and the Pendraken crew do for us. I also think there can be no losers in an event like this as just getting to participate makes you a winner.

It was really hard on the pre-20th foot and full army category.

I found those ones particularly difficult to vote on too! So much quality.

All of them were difficult (except the sci-fi / fantasy ones, not interested in that category at all), but especially the full army one. I narrowed it down to about 6 that I that were amazing, then had a real hard time dropping three of them.

Done!Onlythe army category was hard for me, the rest pretty easy!

No worries Terry, glag you enjoyed it.  It's something we really like doing as well, for several reasons; we get to see loads of our little men looking their best, it motivates folks to get some of their lead mountain painted, it inspires others to try a new technique or a new style of basing, it's good visibility for the scale and our products in particular, and finally just because it's fun!

Well said, Nobby.  :-bd

Cheers - Phil (I've done my votes, too.)

A lot of incredible work went into the summissions and to the organizing of the event.  A well deserved round of applause for all concerned  =D> 

The votes are more or less immaterial. 

Hopefully the boys in Pendraken Towers will spread the word wide around the toy soldier community in general.

As a 1st timer, voting is strange! Difficult to decide whether to pick pieces for technical achievement...whether I would like to use them on a table...or just 'cos I likes 'em!   :o

It was, Peter ? ;)

Cheers - Phil

Yes, just pick those that pop out right away. I don't look at the list over and over again, so doubt doesn't settle in!

Some really stunning pieces have been put forward for the painting competition, well done to everyone. I will look forward to seeing the results.

Hi all well once again the painting standards are absolutely brilliant, however there is a downside to that it makes it really hard to cast your votes.

So once again I wish everybody good luck for the competition

I'm thank you to Leon for putting it on

Take care

It's almost impossible separating some of the entries. In the Army and pre-20thC Foot categories, it was hard getting it down to six votes, talk less of three! Good luck to all involved.

Steve.....You basically took the words right 'out of my mouth'.....Unbelievable entries !.....I'm so jealous !
(Thank "blank" .....That I'm not just one of five or so folk who have had to 'decide' each category in previous years......and that all the forum's members have a chance to have their say.)

Good luck, all.

Cheers - Phil
