Zippee has been very busy!
Some cracking entries coming in now.
Mine hopefully hit the painting table tonight, or tomorrow...
What do we want? PROCRASTINATION! When do we want it? Next Tuesday?

Zippee has been very busy!

Yes, with some very nice painting on display, but he isn't really very good at reading the rules, is he? 

Oh, and one of his ECW cavalry cornets is upside down!

What do you mean now?

[Leman]

Indeed there are. I particularly liked the invisible Gnomes in the fantasy section.

Welcome Clawless Dragon. Which system are you using to post pictures? I use Flickr, and have to adjust the code to make it work.

[Techno]

And a warm welcome from me, too. 

If you have real problems posting the photo's, I think Leon's said to send (email) them to him, and he'll load them onto the appropriate thread.

Cheers - Phil

Hi thanks, the 128kb limit on this forum is very limiting, but I saw others had used Flickr, so I simply made an account, loaded the pictures there, then used the share option on Flickr which gives a mini link... and I copied and pasted that into the thread here on the forum (thinking it would pull though a thumbnail, and the link to the larger image)... happy to adjust the code if shown how thanks.

Clawlessdragon, if you go on flicker on your picture, there is an arrow underneath. if your cursor is on it it says share.

click it

then you get a pop up screen. Instead of using the link given there, choose "bbcode" and that will give you a link that will work in this forum. just copy/paste that one instead.

I particularly like the effect Zippee has achieved on the helmets of his ECW cavalry; would that be something like gunmetal base with silver highlights?

All sorted and displaying now!  Nice work as well.

thanks for the help - I was just signing in this lunchtime to fix it, but you managed to do it for me
I actually have another 4 units (15 stands) painted up - but have put the elves on hold whilst doing another army.
looking forward to see what other people do in the fantasy section.
