Competition Time

[Jim]

Hi guys

sorry for delay

i have a kitchen to sort out as swmbo decided she wanted a new cooker rather than repair the dead one
so built-in cooker has been removed
2 floor units moved
3 wall units moved
now got to re-tile
new floor
new worktops
blah blah blah

so will get around to competition soon....sorry

Steve

Hi Steve,

It would be good if you could give us a clue of what we will need to make for the comp while you are busy my friend .. It could help many get an early start ..

 

[Twister]

yes Jim


I have decided to go with capless pairs (u get the idea , streamlines , slimlines , sierra , zeta if u can get a pencil mech in one...there must be quite a few other options)
I hope that this will appeal to everyone
the pen \ pencil can be of any kit you choose
the coat\dress can also be wood or acrylic or a combination...no metal please
there are no strict rules, but if unsure what u plan to do will be allowed then please ask
the start end time is tbc
this competition is open worldwide...but please note the prize may be restrictive outside of uk
but i will do what I can (this is a uk forum, but we have many valued contributors from other countries and i would like to include them)
prize tbc, I am really open to sensible suggestions
thoughts are:
same as Peter with lottery tickets
or
x amount to spend with forum suppliers of which we have a quite a few

i will go into the picture posting bit later...but as most know there will be no props and will require a white background

as you can see this is not an official start to the competition but will let you get a plan together and an early start

I like the idea

 

[billyb_imp]

Sounds good Steve, I had better get looking around

 

[wm460]

Now I just got to stop doing every thing else and start doing this.

 

[Dalboy]

So it is a pen / pencil combo and not a pen / fountain pen combo

 

[Twister]

How's about the winner gets to fit your kitchen

How's about the winner gets to fit your kitchen

if i thought it was fair i would make u all donate your entrants to charity

I will go with lottery if no one has a better idea

Steve

 

[Twister]

seeing as I cant make you donate your pens to a charity
I guess i will have to offer a prize of euro millions lottery tickets..no other suggestion were offered

i will read Peter (buckeye) rules and will follow suit as I am sure he researched it heavily

Steve

competition starts 14\03\2015

I concede, you've won Bob

too late Paul, on reflection it would be too risky to enter

Are the Smocks still up for Grabs Jim? I seem to remember we were promised 12 or was it one every month for a year?
