Hi Leon,

I notice that in this year's competition there are a number of otherwise excellent entries which don't entirely conform to the rules (too many photos, too many vehicles).   I do hope their authors  are going to be encouraged to modify these entries before the completion date, rather than being disqualified afterwards?  It would be a great shame if any of these lovely pieces did not get considered over technicalities!

Hi mollinary/Leon,
There was me thinking I'd struggle posting the pics, easy as! Counting the number of tanks above 3 however has proved more problematic, lol.
Looked for a way to remove the post, but no luck. Could you please remove the post Leon? I will post an updated entry. Thanks for the prompt mollinary. Best Regards Airhead

No worries, if you pop me the replacement image pics by email (or post them here) and I'll update the entry for you, no worries!

You are more than welcome, I should have known Leon was on the case, but with everything he has to cope with I thought it would be worth pointing out. It would have been a crying shame if folk hadn't got to vote for your beautiful tanks!

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...
