I have finished the adventurers last week (therefore no week 9 entry) and I will work on my natives and beasty this week. So much to do...so little time...

Paint a team with at least five of each (primitives and adventurers) and add a large dinosaur, woolly mammoth, giant ape, or similar prehistoric leviathan, and get a monster 30 bonus points!
Ok:
5 primitive types - very shaky check, work in progress
5 adventurers - sort of, still to be started
1 large beastie - less shaky this time, and getting near to completion

Scenery - searching for (item) one (1) box (box)

Supporting cast of thousands - WIP*

I still need to decide what I will do for round 10… So far the 3 choices I have are;

a) a bunch of WWII German that are halfway done,
b) Malamute’s Zorro figures (only white primed right now) or…
c) A bunch of Cavemen and Cavegirls… almost finish but some of them have already been seen on the LAF so they won’t be a "new team"…

Cavemen:  Done
Beastie:  Done, so long as it's ok that it's skeletal, dead, and possibly being gloated/fought over by said cavemen.
Explorers: You gotta be kidding me.

Having been experimenting with layouts, the biggest issue with doing a full blowout Lost World mess for Round 10 is going to be getting it all in inside the 800x800 image size limit we've got! Five explorers, five Lost World denizens, one leviathan critter, scenery so it doesn't look boring... not quite sure how it's all going to work in 800x800...

Explorers: eyeballs just finished (always the last thing I do)
Neanderthals: ditto
Lost World Giant Critter: ditto

They'll all go outside for dullcote after breakfast, barring touchup painting when I look them over one last time!

Being grossly underemployed is hard on the bank balance, but great for getting gaming projects done...

Exactly. I don't have a clue how I'm going to fit 11 miniatures in a shot and make them big enough to see well. I think I'll be doing one total shot for the coolness and one shot with closeup like I did for the 'The Sands of Time' entry. But it will be a difficult one!

No way I can do this.

Have one and a half adventurers painted.  Six primitives and large animal based and primed.

Disaster awaits...  :'(

Hey Ray look on the bright side - Scooby's done  ;)

My solution to the adventurers will probably NOT get me the bonus points.... still, it could be interesting, so what the heck  :D

Glory I already have - who else has such an impressive votes difference total? Have to work hard to get it to the 1k mark by Round 10, though. Might have to try the old 'Iranian voting tactic'.
