Oh excellent!

Yes and indeed, remember, it doesn't have to be Christmas themed... though I do have a rather twisted idea along those lines... 

 :o

As for a prize... hmm... I'll have to ponder on that one for a while...

Good shop Chaps... we're getting there.

Important note: Basic painting requirement modified once again to include green.

I'd be happy to rummage and look for a prize. maybe we could all donate one of those figures thats been lurking at the bottom of our lead mountain. personally i have a few old citadel pieces that might deem worthy. i think painters figures (the kind that have nice details worthy of a good paint job) would be nice.

Super!

Welcome number 10. May the games begin...

Hopefully some more brave adventurers will also take part.

On another note... I'm sure I could part with a mini or two as a prize as well.  The question here is... does it get too serious if we add prizes?

Well it would be rude not to include the newly painted Space Santa.

A classic GW from many years ago and I mean a classic. I wish I had more of these guys, as he was wonderful to paint. A true joy no less. Amazingly I am being serious,if you can find one, get it, they really are fun to paint!  :D

But onto the compo idea, something along these lines gents? How about.....












There will be better mini's, there will be better paint jobs, but there are very few Space Santas left! lol

Hmmmmm, mind you, if Orctrader is playing, I may have to throw my presents out of the sleigh and take my Santa home with me!!  lol

Good luck LAFers.

A prize or no, we all want to win Christmas!  :D

An excellent entry.

If you would like I will enter it into the competition.

However, in general, I think the better option is to hold off publishing your photos, PM them to me and I will post them with a poll on Christmas morning... and we all will get a big surprise... hopefully... pleasant!   o_o

What are the rules - if any - on photo size?  Number of views, etc?

Buggeration.
Lovely idea Ray. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to have the time in the next three weeks - have an awful lot on both work and leisure wise, and virtually no free time at all.
If I can I will, but I probably won't be able to  :'(
But I shall be rooting for you all!

Just a single .jpg.   Put as many different views on it as you want and any size.

It is, after all, a Gentleman's Contest.

Not to worry Capt'n!

For many, this is a very important time of year.

Count me in. Finally, a reason to finish my 72mm Christmas Sophie.
