Thanks, Hammers! Looking forward to this one :)

Sounds OK to me, as long as there is a fair bit of water visible.

Let me just add this (and it is not specifically in regard to your idea for a build): Overlord and I only set the scope off the competition. How imaginatively, creatively and skilfully you make a representation of water will be judged by your peers. This is a competition and we hope it will spur you to push your boundaries a little bit.

Hogwash? Now that gives me an idea! Thanks Hammers.

I'll bet that's some list! I currently have two frontrunning ideas including 'Hammers' Hogwash'.

Shame this arrived this month and not last otherwise I would have entered my waterfall !

Good thing I haven't included my pictures of the rapids....

When you talk about Water can we include Ice?

Cheers

6) All construction & painting should take place during the contest, no previously built/started items please.  The idea of the contest is to give you an incentive to build something you have just not got around to doing previously.

Ice is definitely OK. Water in any of its possible states.

I have space for a river running through my pirate board, I amy do that for the comp, time permitting.
I am thinking flaoting barrels, sunken long boat, a corpse or two and some rubbish floating through the town.
Any other ideas of things I can add are welcome.

Would like to enter but I am struggling to think of something I can use in any of my current projects, I will think on it for a week. Hopefully I will come up with something so I can defend my title 8)
