I's love to see your work in there, even if it is recycled at this point  :)

Me to!

Well, made it to the end of the league phase, have sent off the last entry. It was touch-and-go this week, and the first one where some of the painting felt rushed.

It's been so much fun, and I'm really glad I entered. I'm back into painting in a way I haven't been for years. I really hope I can carry on, but I fear that things are going to be increasingly shoddy and rushed from here on, that's assuming I can even get anything done in time.

Fingers crossed!  :)

I’d echo all of that  :)
It’s had a wonderful impact on my motivation to paint.

Last year was my "Most painted models year" in my whole wargaming career... Ive painted 60 models for LPL itself (and around 30 more)!

This year I will finish with 32 (and some terrain pieces) due to 6 round span, but I will struggle to paint equal number of models til the years end :P

Seeing you back in full flow, Dylan, has made this LPL for me. So worth it.

Thanks, Richard. That means a lot, especially coming from you, what with your pedigree in the LPL (and LAF in general).

I think I've come in just shy of 50. With hopefully still a few more to come. We'll see.

I've loved your entries Plynykes, really awesome stuff. Seems like a few months back you wrote that you were thinking of 'throwing in the towel' so to speak- and I am glad to see you didn't ;)

This in spades.

I still regularly visit Dylan's blog, despite the lack of updates these days, re-reading the posts for inspiration.
Sadly many of the original LAF alumni's blogs are falling by the wayside (and worryingly both of Alex's seem to have gone offline in the last few weeks) so it's a big deal to see new genius/madness happening :-)

Struggling to get that last entry in after being ahead of the curve most of this season.  I've turned in new 15 out of 15 times in 2 seasons.  Don't want to break that streak.  The grind is real again.

I always feel pretty good after entering the first three- "Awesome, a three week lead!" I tell myself. Invariably after round four (or on round 4) I'm down to the wire each week. I have no idea what I'm doing for round 7, even assuming I make the cut.

Whether you do or don't good luck to you this week and in the future.

That's awesome.  Congratulations.  Waiting for stuff to dry, then final wash on 3 of 6, then pics in the yard.  My terrain is an hour round trip away and I don't have the time.
