Well, one week into the contest and we currently have 27 WIP threads.  :D

It nice to see so many people taking part and with a wide range of entries.  I'm glad to see that a good few people have used it as an excuse to commence a long considered project.  That was one of the aims of the contest.  Hopefully a few more will join us along the way.

Paul, I'm sorely tempted - especially to nick Hammers' idea of a rope bridge. But in truth, having just spent several weekends bogied away in the garage building my F&IW board, I don't think the wife would appreciate me starting another project in the run-up to Christmas, when I've got a huge amount of other stuff on besides... Like directing a play which comes off in December, family stuff, not to mention the small matter of work... And painting the occasional figure of course  :D

So much as I'd love to join the fun, I'm going to sit this one out and save it for next time...

But I'm loving what I've seen so far, and it's brilliant that so many LAFers have embraced the idea.
Go on chaps! I shall be watching and drooling all the way  ;)

I'm intending to join in, but it's going to have to wait until after BLAM, all effort is currently going into the labyrinth.
So many projects..... so little time.......

This really sounds like a lot of fun, but I just don't think I'll have the time this time around and I'm not really sure what I'd go for in a build. Oh crap - now I've got two dozen ideas floating through my brain. Damn You!!! lol

In the presentation shots, can we include other models?  The particular case I'm wondering about is that I have a bunch of stands of space-fighters painted on the heads of pins.  I wanted to group them flying around my colony ship as a CSP escort, but I made them a year or more ago.

That should be fine:
Quote from: Contest Rules
The photos may include a few miniatures/vehicle to indicate size/use/practicality of the item only.
Therefore the fighters can be used to illustrate the comparative size of the larger craft.

Huh.  I must have missed that.  I really did reread the rules before I asked, honest...

I read the contest rules again and came to this:

"WIPS only please, no completed items until after the contest has ended"

Hhm, what exactly does that mean? Last photo just before ending construction? Or before painting? Or including painting, but before decals?  8)

as I understood, after a hot debate "completed" was established as fully painted etc

so I would guess that the final WIP pic would be the finished build
the entry includes a coated model pic and a painted model pic, right?
