Very nice scenes, both entries. Didn't know about so many miniature kids on the market; would you consider providing a list, Hammers?

I certainly can, Admiral.

The running school boys are modified Eureka Victorian street boys, except one which is from a Musketeer VBCW civilian set. That one is as sold. The girl in the blue-white-red chequered dress is from the same set. Lovely, both. The babies are  from Pulp Figures, so are the bigger boys and the girl in red. The two wee kids in are Hasslefree. And that's it, I believe. Oh, the girl with the balloon is from a GB/Woodbine set.

Excellent work on both entries here.  

Raz, the title of your entry made my chuckle contently when I saw your entry, very clever  lol  

Hammers entry has a lot of really nice touches to it as well: the variety of kiddie models (thanks for letting us know so I can fill my shopping list up  ;)), the stage scenery "scenery" and the typo'd amateur banner.  Lots to like about both entries.

Awesome!

Raz: good one on peoples doing their "business"  :)
and your old man in the suit is practically the same as mine, check it out, what are the odds...
(he must be painted in a brown!)

The joke wasn't completely intentional. It wasn't after I had set up the scene that I noticed the pun, although I don't mind one bit offcourse :D

Northstar, I indeed noticed you entered the same fig. It's an awesome miniature isn't it, crying out for a suit in this colour. I used Dark Flesh by the way, washed with Badab Black, again Dark Flesh and then a highlight with some Bleached Bone added.

Phreedh, you're spot on sir! 8) On the backside another funny guy painted 'this stinks' ;)

I loved the fabrics on the kids in the fair. Very nicely executed.

Raz, the portapotties, are they scratchbuilt?

Raz, your entry is excellent and my favourite civilian of yours has to be the punk, excellent job on him! Hammers, you never fail to disappoint, yours is a big, rich and colourful entry and I love it!

Cheers Pil, thanks again for lending me the miniature. He came out exactly like I had imagined him :)

Raz, the portapotties, are they scratchbuilt?

Nope, it's a pdf I found years ago on TMP if I recall correctly, so credits go to some else. I printed it on thick paper, assembled it and used some paint to smudge it up a little. If you want I can send you the pdf, just send me a PM with your email. If somebody else wants it, send me a PM as well.

such a pain to vote for the second one.
Two lovely entries, maybe the first paintjob was a little better, but the second IDEA was fantastic :-* :-*

Hammers was the typo on the banner deliberate?

Brilliant attention to detail in both of these - oddly, they're like flip-sides of the same coin. The Children's Fayre, like something from an Enid Blyton novel, and then the Porta-Loos, like something from a modern day music festival. Both brilliant entries, full of imaginatation and creativity (and no small amount of skill!)

I think Hammer's Fayre is one of my favourite entries this round, so much character and great details.

The portapotties are inspired, too - an excellent excuse for a disparate group of modern civilians to be hanging around together!
