Just to be sure; we have till tomorrow evening (09/03, 2359h), right?  ???

Because I'm still in full painting mode; the inside's all done, but I still have to do the entire outside... ::)

Actually, because of a misstanke I made in the rules, you have until monday night. I chose to err in favour of you lot.

Hammers,
Can background terrain be included in the photo. I am thinking of using some tree that I have made. Many thanks.

People, let me tell you, based on the photos I’ve recieved so far you (we) are in for quite a treat next week.

And let me reiterate: you have until monday midnight to send me your photos. Tht applies to those of you who have already sent me your entries and want to ammend them (or change build altogether ;) )

I sent in a picture right now, just to be sure, but I will try to make a better one tomorrow.  :)

I did a collage of 4 photos- even then it was hard to find the right 4 (not sure I got them right either... :?).

I can’t take photos

Neither can I. I made a collage showing a few different views of my project, but I think I need to redo it since I noticed some crap on the backdrop mat after I put it all together.

As I’ve posted before, scenery builds differ from miniatures as they most often are larger and have more details scattered around. For next year We should allow for multiple pics rather than collages.

I attempted the collage, but was I happy with it?  Not really.  I figure we're all in the same boat, so it is what it is.

I think a collage is a good format, but changing the rules next time to allow for more than one image would make things easier. Depending on the build different formats work better for showing the finished product.
