Hey All,

Just a few images here to keep you all posted as to our top places in the Wizards of Oz. (Overall, the level of entries to this year's competition was superb, it literally blew our socks off!)

(yes it has a white backdrop, we will be adjusting in the coming days, but we want to release good quality images, not rush jobs)

The Gold from Simon Hooker with his Pan O unit

Gold from Sebastian Archer

Gold and the Winner of the "Wizards of Oz Best in Show" Trophy, with flights to the Crystal Brush next year, sponsored by Cool Mini or Not - Sebastian Archer

IPB Image

Lots more images to come as we have them all finished.

Cheers!
Mark

Very sexy paintjobs, well deserved wins.

Can't wait to see more.

@Gronk are we eventually going to see all of the entries?

I couldnt believe how good the entries were, I had to leave and come back 4 or 5 times to take them in slowly as my mind started to shut down with so much detail and quality.

I should also add some general advice here. Don't bother with chick flicks. The sad reality is that a chick flick never leads to snuggling. If there is post movie snuggling it was going to happen regardless of the movie viewed. Females only subject you to chick flicks to either test your dedication, punish you for something or because they don't see you as a romantic option.

That's the beauty of the award format they've used, though... any figure worthy of a gold/silver/bronze is awarded the appropriate trophy, instead of limiting them to 1st - 2nd - 3rd in each category.

It means it's more of a selling point to have good competition at the event - you get to look at all the shiny entries in person biggrin.gif
