Thanks, everyone! There are some really fantastic entries, so ending up in the top three would be a bit of madness... but you never know how the voting and judging will go.
I've taken a few photos of the other work and here are some of the pieces that (a) grabbed my attention and (b) the crappy cell phone pictures weren't too terrible. Obviously the work is better in person but I imagine the official voting photos should be pretty nice, so check back Saturday around noon (Chicago time).
I'm guessing the overall number one will go to this giant Daniel Craig space marine from (I believe) Yellow One. It's a huge piece, probably 150-200mm scale but the detailing is superb.
Another contender for top three is this diorama with figures from the Black Sailors kickstarter. It's hard to get a good picture from the way it's angled in the case, but the colors and detail work are fantastic. There's a whole other side with another figure too, but that's even harder to get a shot of. Definitely look for photos of this when they post the official ones.
GW's imperial knight sculpts have a lot of potential, and this entry has made a really cool samurai variation on it. They sculpted a new face plate and I think the banner is extra, but the rest looks like the normal kit. Really neat freehand and well done green NMM on the armor.
Those are just a few, but some of my favorite. There are also a bunch of entries from CMON regulars, but you can see better photos of the pieces on their WIP threads than what I can get with my camera phone. I sat in on some seminars, so I missed most of whatever came in this afternoon. And I'm guessing there will be some more tomorrow morning before the judging deadline.
For everyone from CMON who entered figures, best of luck!
