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...

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!

I was thinking of it too. I think my main picture will have one group in the background just to keep the rest big enough, they'll have to get their attention elsewhere. Also, I plan to base my adventurers differently (to fit with other game systems) so I'll have to do something to hide the bases ;)

Well, everyone who is trying to get all elements into the last round have the same problem so it is not 'unfair'.

I suggest we can send in 2000 x 2000 images for round 10 for maximal enjoyment ;)

But yesterday went perfectly, almost like a Rocky movie where the situation seems desperate and suddenly he strikes back! I managed to finish all of my natives. I was surprised how fast they were done. Only beasty left!

One beastie left? Argh!
I have to admit I got sidetracked by a few - uh - props for scenery.  :(

yeah, got the skin done on al the models, the rest is a bit more tricky though...   I'll just have to tell the girlfriend it's for honor that she won't see me that much this week  ;)
Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

Seven models done, five models near finished, I might make it after all :)

How are you guys coping?

Two pygmies complete and three more almost done.  Five explorers and one dinosaur all half painted.  It is going to be tight! :)

Cavemen are ready to go, big beastie is ready, and the adventurers are mere moments from done!

I just figured out my Explorers, and I don't have to finish my Brits to do it either.  Yay!
