[thebinmann]

Great news, could you post on this thread when the are available please?

Some absolutely ingenious and beautiful sculpts. In terms of pure perfection of sculpting technique, anatomy, animation and so on, Timothy Wopping and the Untitled Creeper will take some beating. But the Grandfather Clock is superbly macabre. Love it. Thanks for sharing WK  

By the way, can the public vote or do you have to be a member of Frothers? I've always resisted joining Frothers on account of the large number of Tourette's sufferers and borderline sociopaths. But I might have to do it this time...

Each year there is a panel of judges to take care of the voting.
We have considered adding a members' vote, but never implemented that because we've seen on some other sites how these things can sometimes yield results that are clearly indicated by people secretly solliciting votes.

Frothers sculpting competition is almost always a treat. Some very talented sculptors assemble for it.

These are all great! But what's all this nonsense with Rae sculpting men!

Will the winners be available to buy at some stage?

[white knight]

Yes. And some of the others too.

Just can't believe that Wilbur Whatley was not in the top three.  That is the most awesome sculpt I've seen in months.  I wonder what the judging criteria were?  Probably completely subjective, therefore judges who had not recently read (as I have) 'The Dunwich Horror' would not have been able to appreciate Wilbur.

Agreed, but I suppose that is due to the cluedo side of the comp... I guess that's why pussyhat got in too.

I hope Whikbury will be released!
