Allow me to add my thanks to Overlord for the dedication to this, and for getting me to finish the first project since my mini-stroke last year.
I slid in just in time!

Choosing just two per group is nigh impossible!

Looking at Group A's current results, I have to ask: what's the procedure in the case of a tie vote by the close of voting?

I do wish people would read the rules. It was all made quite clear - All ties will be settled by a game of High School Musical 2 Uno...

I do not want to know how you even knew that existed  ;D

Another thank you to Overlord - job well done.

It is something of a wrench to part with it, but I've decided that I'm generously donating my copy so it can be the official LAF method for settling contest ties.

I say, old chap, it should be rather straightforward - last man standing after the other's heads have exploded from being subjected to this piece of abject horror wins. lol

I knew I should'nt have entered ,  :-[ . Now with no use for my APC and being off sick I've had time to come up with an idea. This will give me plenty of work at some stage but I have already drawn up plans for an underground installation . I have also worked out teams using my neglected Catachan metal collection plus I can use the newer plastic versions for victims .
I just need to con someone from my club to help me modify 40k rules for it . lol

I guess I could also use it for Doctor Who or maybe Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

I wish I could have entered. The stuff I've got was near to completion so wouldn't have been appropriate for this competition. What I really wanted to make I couldn't get done in time. This is still a real challenge for my skills.

Dan, I have a theory as to why your APC is not romping away with it (apart from the ferocious competition arrayed against you, obviously)

In all seriousness, the first couple of times I lloked at that group, my eye kind of passed over your entry because it's SO good, that it looks like a resin Old Crow style model.
My brain went 'that's a resin job not a scratchbuild' - even though I know, of course, having seen the WIP, that it is indeed a very well executed scratchbuild.

Seriously - I bet a lot of people have subconsciously felt the same.
Your problem, my friend? You made it too good!  ;)  :D

Dan's APC is in a really tough group.

Got one of my two votes though.  I thought it was darn right awesome!
