Crap.  Not gonna make it.  Too much stupidity interfering.

I'll finish my project up eventually and show it off - but it won;t be by the deadline for this competition.

[Luke Sprywalker]

I am wondering if anyone has emailed an entry? I have so much going on there is no way I will finish mine up on time. Anyone other than me and Doc in the same boat? Is there any way we could get a 2 week extention on the entries?

[Phatty]

To be honest, I don't know if anyone else is even entering this.  Doc was the only one we'd heard from at all.  I'll see what Wayne says about it.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Anyone planning to enter this contest please respond. If there is a 2 week extention I will enter. Is anyone else planning on entering?

[DocOutlands]

Well, if the judges offer an extension, I'll take it and tell my external problems to go jump.  (a certain someone and his bloody website being at the top of the list...)

[Joerhyno]

I'm entering it, I've been working on it non-stop these last three weeks, every little extra time I get, I was still risking getting it in at the last second, so I'd welcome an extension.

[Joerhyno]

haven't heard back from anyone, so it's crunch time, got one major thing to paint still, a couple more things to detail up and then some dry brushing...

[Phatty]

If you guys need 2 more weeks, go for it. We will extend the deadline to 2/13 by midnight.

[Joerhyno]

this is awesome news... I really didn't want to submit what I had finished... and now I can finish it and submit it in all it's glory!!!

[Luke Sprywalker]

So it looks like Joe, Doc and me so far. Is anyone else getting in on this? Come on yarders get something together!

[Joerhyno]

Looks like it's just us 3.... I really think you guys should change the yearly Diorama contest to being in the Spring/Summer... I think you'd have more people entering as they'd be able to take over their garages/patios and stuff outside. There were plenty of times I wanted to work on mine, but I couldn't because of the -10 weather... I even tried spraypainting and then bringing the diorama inside, but then I stunk up the house. When it got a little warmer(15-20 degrees), I would open the garage door a little, spray, then wait awhile, and then bring the diprama into the basement... but it'd be a lot easier if I could just spray it and leave it, or heck, set up a table outside in back and do it there.  I know not everyone uses spraypaint, but I think with larget dioramas, it's easier and I can see more people using it to cover a larger area...

  Just a suggestion...  SHould have mine finished for sure and sent in a couple of days.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Just about have mine done. It is not as involved as I had planned but it will have to do for the time I have available.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Just got my pics in.

Thanks to being handed a magazine deadline of this weekend, mine ain't happening.

[Joerhyno]
