The excavation is great!  And is that a familiar figure lurking through the archway?

Yes, looks like there's that infamous pseudoscientist  8)

Is it 'done' to vote for oneself?

yes, of course, no problem.

Thanks!   :D  Though the goats were a lot easier to sculpt than the child - he's only 22mm to top of head and really tested my limited abilities but is still far from perfect (though it's all learning, right?!).   :)

wow, didn't know you're the sculptor! good work, really, though some of them look a bit sad  :)

Oh yes, it's done.  :D
(Almost all the time I suspect - although occasionally some noble soul votes for an opponent).

Oh dammit, missed two votes on my previous entries as I'm always the noble soul to vote for my opponent!  ;D
 ;)

Anyway, very nice sculpt Silent Invader! I could have used those for my round 3 entry  lol
and excellent paintjob Prof (who would have guessed!)

...maybe you should work toghether!

The archaeological expedition is superb - incredibly rich colours and beautifully smooth highlighting. Fantastic work.

Hell, Silent Invader, if I'd known you sculpted them that would have affected my vote substantially.

Well done, that man!!

The only time I've ever carved goat was in a provincial Italian restaurant. The results were bloody.

Thanks folks for the votes and the feedback - when I saw that I was up against the Prof and then looked at his entry I didn't think I'd make double figures and so am feeling rather chuffed.  :D

some of them look a bit sad  :)

Especially the ladies, they're feeling doeful ...er.... doleful.

As I was checking out the latest score at 253 behind (is this a record?!) my wife looked over my shoulder at the screen and commented.... "Don't worry it'll soon be over"..... :'( :'(  :D

Hi Silent,

nil desperandum, Old Boy. I voted for your goats - before - I found out they were scratch built. Wish I could vote twice, now :-)

'Course, the fact they are 18th century did help a lot.
