I am not really into retro SF but the second entry is so well executed and atmospheric (including a rubbery looking dino) it got my vote. Cudos.

Chris, a shame you didn't have time for more entries - those you made are fantastic!

Where did you get the orangutan?? I love it.

As for the second entry, it reminds me of that cheezie marionette show, whose name I cannot remember. Too bad the figures weren't a bit closer.

Is that me? I am flattered to be associated with such a great entry. Deservedly holding its own against a stunning bit of cinematography too.

I think we need deep sea divers to find the stauette though :'(

Both entries are really nice.

Iīve already posted the Shift Mk.2 some months back (so no bonus points). Iīm unsure whether to post a link, since thatīs basically against the rules, but itīs on the Future Wars board.

Not really a matter of time, but of motivation (although Iīll admit Iīm currently a bit hard-pressed to find time after 8 hours at the refinery plant).

Actually, I had a real hullapalooza planned for round 10 from back when the bonus theme was announced - with a troupe of 54mm Pseudo-Neanderthals, some Centaurs, and an 8" Cyclops... plus the T-Rex. Couldnīt find suitable figures for the first three items, so I settled for the T-Rex and some cheesy faux B-Movie-poster look (without doing any CGI beyond the printed backdrop I used when photographing the figures and the title).

I love the movie-look of the second picture and the paintjob on the Tyrannosaurus is great too! I have that model too and I've never seen it painted so well. The first entry looks nice too but the toy ape could use a repaint.

Nice entries both of you!

The retrofeeling of the second entry is really great and adds a lot to it. Great job!
