Anybody know what time the deadline actually is in Michigan (USA)?

Using the following site:

http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc

And assuming that Richard's location is London and your location is Detroit, I THINK that 11:59 pm on Sunday in London translates to 6:59 pm on Sunday in Detroit.  Could that be true?  You might want to do your own conversion.

Wait, wait, wait; that's not correct, in part because I started with the wrong time.  I don't understand that 7 GMT thing though.  Oh well, maybe the website will be of use to you.

As far as I can work out, 07.00 Greenwich Mean Time is 03.00 in Michigan.
In other words, you're 4 hours behind London, England.

Not that I'm to be trusted, but I think he's five hours behind.  7 am in London is 2 am in Detroit; according to that conversion site anyway:

"07:00:00 a.m. Sunday June 28, 2009 in Europe/London converts to 02:00:00 a.m. Sunday June 28, 2009 in America/Detroit"

That's correct EST (Eastern Standard Time) is 5 hours behind the UK.

Don't forget that, with Daylight Savings Time in effect, London's local time is NOT the same as GMT right now - GMT does not observe Daylight Savings.

http://www.worldtimezone.com/index24.php - note that London local is one hour in advance of GMT currently.

Michigan is in Eastern Daylight Time right now, so -5 GMT.
(same timezone as New York, Toronto, and the whole US Eastern seaboard.)

0700 GMT = 0200 EDT (2 AM)

Pacific Daylight Time (Seattle, San Francisco, LA, etc) is -7 GMT currently.

0700 GMT = 0000 PDT (Midnight)

Managed to finish just two figures out of the eleven last night.  :'(
This is taking too long.
Today I have to work so tonight I am going to be busy. "Sods law" after today I am on holiday for two weeks and would have had loads of time to paint. :-[

No progress!  :(
Despite my load of free time I have hardly done any work on my primitives, let alone my adventurers. I will have to break with my tradition and send in piccies on saturday. I will have to finish my pygmees, and my planned adventurers will be replaced with models I have already painted but are still unseen. A bit lame but that way I might make it.
