Short before the end I want to say "thank you" to all painters. Every competitor in this famaous contest is a winner. At the end some painters a little bit more winner than others. For the voters it was also a win, great battles and exciting rounds. The LPL is absolutely the greatest painting contest...

Congrats to the top teir...all positions well earned and hard fought.  This year saw a display of talent in both painting and scenic arrangement that boggles the mind.  Also a huge congrats to all those that managed to finish a new team for each round...this is no minor accomplishment...no matter what the votes say.

...of course thanks to the Prof and Ray...and all the others involved in running this implicated contest in such an efficient fashion.   Well done indeed!

Cheers,

Blue

A question for the judges...

How are the bonus points for round 10 awarded?
Is it in the following way:
10 pts new team
10 pts maritime
10 pts 2nd team
10 points large vessel/monster.

I ask this question because I got 20 bonus points but I got a newly painted team (10), maritime (10) on a boat (10). But please correct me if I'm wrong.  ::)

I would like to say I had a great time and I am already planning LPL 7  lol

Thank you very much Prof and Ray.

Regards
Za

Ray and Professor, you both have my appreciation for your efforts. There is doubtless a lot of effort compiling information, loading images, and answering PMs. Behind the scenes affiliates like Captain Blood (and others I may not be aware of) that help come up with themes and discuss rules changes and interpretations shouldn't go unmentioned either- thank you!

Congratulations to all my fellows in LPL, I've learned a lot from you. Special mention to Bugsda who revealed that he scrapes out the eyes of Copplestone figures with a scalpel so they're easier to paint! I didn't get to use his trick until late in the LPL (in fact in made me switch plans for an entry) but still valuable. I can't tell you how many times I 'damned the eyes' on Darkest Africa figures over the years :)

Thanks to Brooknah, Laughing Ferret, Valleyboy, and Mikedemana for injecting some whimsicality into this season. Among others, the "Dating Game", "Roe Bear", "Pond Wars" and assorted Splintered Light entries were great.

Congratulations Dr Mathias, a well deserved win, the Leaderboard reflects my tastes fairly well as both the DR and Captain Blood provided many of the highlights for me.
I am fairly proud of my 12th place as it is my first entry into LPL, and I failed for a new entry on one round, and was missing one element in the last round. I have learn't alot about composition and preparation, ready for next years LPL.
As I said in other thread I would like to thank the Prof and Ray for all their hard work, as well as all the entrants and those who voted for making it so enjoyable.
There is now going to be a huge void in my life, as over the last 10 weeks it has become such a routine, the mad panic on Friday night as I try to get finished in time, the anticipation of Sunday morning, waiting to see who I have been drawn against, and the opportunity to view all the new eye candy. Then on Monday look forward to Leaderboard. Perhaps I might start going out again lol nah forget it I'll try to continue with more painting, preparing for next year.

Hearty congratulations to the winner and runners up.   :)

Many, many thanks to the Prof, Ray and anyone else involved in the running.  (I don't know how you find the time, gentlemen, but I'm glad you do.)

And congratulations to all of the entrants, wherever you finished on the board.  It was very tough competition I thought. 

...Special mention to Bugsda who revealed that he scrapes out the eyes of Copplestone figures with a scalpel so they're easier to paint!

Ooh, I thought everyone knew.   ::)  Not just Copplestone either.  In fact there are very few sculptors who make "paintable" eyes.  Kev White of Hasslefree does.  Just at the moment, I can't think of anyone else.  So for me, scraping out the eyes of many figures is just part of the "standard" preparation.

Hey!

I’m 43rd out of 3235 LAF members, that’s not that bad… lol

Congrats to the winner and thanks to the Prof and Ray for their great work "running the show".

I’m up for ten more rounds. Who’s in it? ;)

Wow! Well done everyone. It was inspirational and entertaining in equal measure!
A mixed bag for me this year. A member of my family passed away just after the LPL started ,and that left unable to devote the time I would have liked to painting from Round 4 onwards.
Great fun though and I'll certainly be back next time.

Congratulations to all who participated. We deserved win for the Dr!

Last year must have been a fluke for me with the 2nd place honors. In the four years that I have been in the competition, I earned 4th place three of the four years. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride...  :(

I look forward to next year!

Welcome news to me :) I haven't read many tutorials and I only acquired the Foundry books a few months ago. I don't think the Masterclass book even mentions the tip. Of course I may have skipped over figure prep as I thought I knew it all  lol

Truth told I'm thinking about stripping the paint off almost all my pre-LPL miniatures  :o

No fluke at all, I think we could shuffle around the top several people on the leaderboard in a given year and any of them would deserve to be in the top three.
