Yep I'm in as well... but will join the chorus in saying it isn't quite what I had hoped... ::)

Its been a wonderful contest and I'm glad to have participated...I managed to make 10 new entries and was happy with most of them... lol
 
Thanks to Capt. Blood and Ray for their hard work and thanks to Heldrak for encouraging me to throw my hat in the ring.  I'll also have to say I'm kinda glad its over! (the painting part anyway) and so is my wife! Maybe we can have a Friday night where we are actually in the same room for most of the night... ;D ;D...(better get her some flowers)

Anyway...What a long strange trip it has been....I'm super excited to see what everyone else came up with for the finale.

Cheers!

Round 10 in, 5 characters from a movie, no new scenery piece or opposing side, but they're characters from a movie, and as a bit of a bonus, they're brand-new not-really-released-yet figures from a well-known sculptor. Awesome figures, and paint jobs I'm very happy with, even!

So I get a few bonus points, anyway.

Really looking forward to see the entries of round 10!

I'm a little frustrated that, because of my hand injury, I need to enter so many reruns  >:(
The shopping hasn't stopped however and with the entries I could not enter this edition I'll be prepping for LPL6 in the near future!

Congrats and a big thanks to the organisers and all the painters for making this festival of eyecandy possible!!

One last week of watching in awe and tension  ;D

Finally done.  4:30 AM.  Can't fight with the pictures anymore... 

:)

Only finished one team for the finale, but I just counted and I painted 62 minis in the past 10 weeks, and entered 10 entries. 

It's been a blast everyone.  All the best.

Just submitted mine to the good Captain..... yay!

I'd also like to echo the thanks and appreciation for the sterling efforts of Capn Blood and Ray Rivers and all others, including the Prof, in enabling this to happen.......

100% agreed and seconded. It has been brilliant fun and the efforts of all the organisers is greatly appreciated. :-* :-* :-* :-*

Just put in my last photo, not what I planned, and no bonuses but a new pic all the same.

Just waiting for Sunday now!
Saving the last bullet... just in case.

My main goal has been reached this LPL, the yearly selection of what scale / models I would even consider continuing painting... if I struggled for 5, I won`t even bother for say 50.

A Great many thanks to `Team LAF` for organising this once again, it must be an arduous job, not to mention the nagging of all us ultra competitive professionals  lol.  Seriously, it is a great fun `competition` and eye candy has been imprinted for months to talk about again. especcially for people like me who make up the `flock` in the arena of the grand masters.  Even in defeat, one learns!

Now up to LPLVI  o_o

round 10 is just in! Wish I had more time, then I could have taken a better pic and more of a setting with my photoshop!

But it's in, it was (actually still is) fantastic and of course many many big thanks and praises to anyone who contributed something to LPL... ;)

But as always, biggest hooray for the Captain and Ray for doing a swell job at hosting this painting bonanza!!!

Fantastic work gents, I tip my hat to you guys!

I'm getting a ....

"We who are about to die, salute you"... kinda vib.   lol

Believe me, as I have been on both ends now, the real work... the Agony and the Ecstasy, if you will... comes from the competitors.

No need to thank me, I volunteered!   :o   ;)

Like all the other lurkers, I totally enjoyed seeing the great bounty of eye candy posted on this forum week after week.

For that, I thank Alex, the Prof, for hosting such a marvelous forum.  I also doof my hat to Richard, Captain Blood, for his excellent handling of the contest. 

And lastly, we all know that the LPL wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't for you folks toiling at your painting desks.  So here is to all of you..

Hip hip... HOORAY!

Great job all!

And an extra Hoorah! for those that managed to make a new team for each round! :)

Its a pity that I couldn't compete this year, was really looking forward to do the pig scene from Deliverance.

What a great bunch of final entries. I'm a little surprised how few duplicate scenes there are- quite amazed really. Fantastic creativity and executions!

Thank you to everyone who made it happen, organizing and participating! My Sunday morning coffee won't be nearly as exciting! Until the next LPL!
