Round 10 postponed again

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Dear Lead Painters, I'm sorry to tell you that the Round 10 will be postponed again. Unfortunately I won't be able to prepare all the entries, create the polls and start them tomorrow. So the new deadline will be the next weekend, 6.Juli and the new start of the Round 10 - Juli 7.

So the new entry deadline and round duration:

Round 10 (Season 2 Finals) July 7th – July 13th.

yours
Prof.

Aarggh. and I worked hard at getting my lot ready for today..... 
Ah well - next week is a right mess of work, and I'll be abroad over the weekend, so it's just as well. 
Prof, I actually was worried by a vision of you arriving home late this night from your trip and spending until 5 a.m. or a similarly ridiculous hour to get the voting set up!  Better this way. Hope you had a good trip. 

[Hammers]

Since I am the Lord of the Procastrinators I am always greatful for all thing I can postpone. Cheers. Alex! :-)

[Poliorketes]

Urrgh! Painted all day to make the deadline. But on the other hand now I'll be able to do some detailwork and even better lots more minis that are nearly finished by now! And something else...

[Uncle Mike]

Ha! Now I can try to finish my General instead of my 'regular' squad leader. Was gonna send off the photo tonite...

[Orctrader]

Dear Lead Painters, I'm sorry to tell you that the Round 10 will be postponed again...

Don't worry, we all know how busy life can be.  Just grateful you put the effort into arranging the competition at all.  I could never find the spare time for such an enterprise.

There was no point checking the calculations for a fourth time, Malinsky knew. That satellite was coming down almost 800 kilometers off from the projected impact point, somewhere in the mosquito-infested swamps of Siberia. He mashed his cigarette into the ashtray on the console and leaned back. He had flown over that area, once, years ago - endless seas of reedy grasses, the occasional island of gnarled pine tree, nothing to mark the land except for a few unnamed settlements, the odd collective farm, and some aircraft navigational aids powered by atomic batteries.

The nav aids, he thought. Back in '85 or '86, during one of the silent crises, beacon six-omicron had failed, and they'd had to parachute a fellow in to fix it, quick, before the Americans wised up to it. The special team had flown in and taken over his control station, one radio operator speaking to that field agent who had stood in hip-deep water and managed to repair a thermocoupling without turning the area into a mini-Zone. Malinsky had been impressed, even moreso by the unassuming, smiling, deeply muddy field agent when he stepped off the helo. What had been that guy's name?

They called him "the Professor," he remembered. "Don't worry, the professor will get to your little lighthouse and get it working again, Malinsky," the radio operator had said.

Sighing, Malinsky picked up the yellow telephone from its hook on the console.

"Hey, Seryosha," he said gruffly, "I've got some bad news. Star Nine is coming down in the middle of a swamp. Do you think we could find 'the Professor?'"

You're a busy man Prof!! Which incidentally is good for me since it gives me one more chance at buying the miniatures I need for round 10...  which won't happen since it's to far away from any of my projects 

Still do have the big RAFM Cthulhu lying around though   

Next season will be a better job, then I'll at least have some projects lying in wait instead of (sometimes a bit too much) frantic painting

Looking forwards ot seeing the entries next week though!

[Argonor]

Hmmm.. still haven't broken out of my painter's block   

Must put the khaki-project on hold and sit down with something more colourful, I think...

This happens to me quite often, actually.

When it does, I shift gears totally, start a new "mini" project (no pun intended) and it gets me slapping paint around again.

After finishing my Round 10 entry, I did just that, changed gears completely, found some old mini's, stripped off the paint and am now repainting them, hopefully a lot better than the first time around.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

well, lads, NO postponement this time, so do send your entries :-) till now 14 entries are in.

Perhaps the round 10 will take more than a week, I'll go back to Russia next week again but that doesn't matter, we will start tomorrow, that's for sure.

As usual, Round 10 won't be the random selection of fight participants. I will make the selection So we will have an exciting finale, I hope 

[Poliorketes]

Mine is in, thanks to the latest postponement I was able to do some weathering on the AT. I fear I did to much, but it's been my first try.

[Braxandur]

Sorry chaps, no round 10 for me, got loads od minis done, none the right team and most have been posted before in a battle report, so I'll just have to enjoy the entries and feel guilty

Poliorketes if the effect you intended was a very dusty train I think you did a fantastic job!  I like it.  Looks to me like a train that went full throttle with out stopping across hundreds of miles on the barren Russian steppe!   That was very well done for a first attempt at weathering!
