Thank you kindly for handling this, @MichaelX . Warmly appreciated.

Glorious entries, everyone! Marvellous creations. And well done to the winners.

I’ll be home sometime tomorrow. Winners will be contacted for prizes then, and contest gallery updated.


As things look like at the moment, things will get very busy for however many weeks forward, following a death in my extended family. Furniture movement and some build work is just the tip of the iceberg.

I’m pushing a lot of planned stuff forward until most of the demanding work is over, no matter how many weeks or months it takes.

There is a risk that I won’t have time and energy left over for handling contests while all this mass of activity lasts. I’ll see how it looks like in some days’ time. At worst, we’ll have a competition pause for a while, unless someone volunteers to set up next one, whatever theme they feel like. But I might still find time for it.

Just a heads-up. Sorry for all the hassle.

I can take over (and maybe automate some stuff) if needed.

Wow :blush: thanks everyone, you honour me. Every entry was a winner in my book; it was a pleasure to see them all and imagine the mad cacophony they’d produce. Thanks @Admiral and @MichaelX for all your hard work organising too. You guys are the best.

A lot of great entries. The slave tank was brilliant :clap:.
@Reaver Was the squid from spongebob? I feel like it was. Loved the keyboard guitar thing, was v similar to the mad max musician.
Roll for wounds. Great band set up. The poster really made it

Thank you everyone for the votes! It’s a good feeling to finally be able to stand up on the podium! To those that got the Von Munchausen reference, I hope you pictured the Sultan’s rendition of the Torturer’s Apprentice.
