Season 3 ROUND 2 Call For Entries

[Captain Blood]

As Round 1 is up and running with a good voter turnout and lots of lovely constructive commentary, I must now remind any existing or new competitors wishing to submit a new entry for Round 2, you need to do so by 07.00 GMT on Sunday 26 April.

Send your teams for Round 2 to lpleague3@yahoo.co.uk

Please remember to include the team name or title of your entry, and your LAF user ID with your email.

You do not have to enter a new team every round. If you already have a team in Round 1 and you do not enter a replacement team for Round 2, then your Round 1 entry will continue into Round 2 and will be matched against a different opponent.

But don't forget that from Round 2 onwards, every new team entered attracts a 10 point 'new team' bonus (provided it has not been previously pictured on the web or elsewhere).

Just a couple of rule reminders:

1. All entries should include a shot of the group or team. You can add different angles or close-ups as you wish, but you need to include the group shot.

2. The composition of your shot is entirely your choice. You can use a neutral background or display the figures 'in situ' against scenery.

Looking forward to seeing some more fantastic entries for Round 2. There's no 'theme bonus' in Rounds 2, 3 and 4, so anything goes!

Just finished mine, except for the group photo.

Ah that old Maltese sense of humour

I'm not laughing at this end - I have NO idea how to take a good photo of this next lot... they just won't keep still.

I would be laughing if my next picture also wasn't such a problem. I'm afraid it will be a "rush job" though

[Bako]

Oh man, the 26th is too late for me. I'll try for next time, looking forward to everyone's stuff for round 2.

Also, just had me birthday. April 20th, cheers all!

Ahhh...! 

The core of the second entry is ready. Next I will try to make a pleasing setting for the photography. Let's see, the photo must be a collage of all the miniatures, correct? 

[Plynkes]

Lumme! Time's a-movin'. I don't think I'm going to be able to keep up with the pace for long. I don't know how folks can paint quickly, I just don't seem to have it in me. I think I needed to start about six months ago. Oh well. Never mind, eh?

I think some of us did start six months ago.

You are right time's now flying along.

My output is sporadic I joined in LPL3 to reduce the lead pile a bit but still only achived 15 minis in a month which I spose is quite good seeing as I did 15  from Jan to March.

Finding/making the time is really hard.

Boh! That's not for real Lead paintes eh...that's for Rubber painters

I finished the first one and half of the second one yesterday. I nearly went insane due to what I was painting (won't say what) but with two evenings and one afternoon left I think I can manage them in the time frame.
Man, only the second week, but the pace is already killing . On the other hand, the idea to finish 50+ miniatures in 10 weeks is beyond fantastic

I can almost guarantee you that neither will I. It is very difficult for me to find time for 'The Hobby' right now, what with being fater-cum-tutor to fiver, son of hammers. Fencing, recital training, rethorics, Grand Tours etc., etc. ...

I think I will be able to keep up for at least five rounds if I put a few old things in play, and plan the few hours I have to myself carefully. Not painting more than the minimum requirement five helps, so does not picking a fairly straightforward subject matter. The problem is shooting something good looking. Most of my props are packed away.

[Pil]

I can already feel the pace as well and I even have some rounds finished in advance. I will try to take pictures this afternoon, which takes a fair amount of time in itself, maybe get some painting done too

I find you really need preferably the weekend and a weeknight or two to finish an entry, and that is not something I have every week
