Though I was quite happy with most of my entries there were a few matches where I was simply outclassed by some very talented hobbyists. That being said there were times where I think the 'set dressing' overwhelmed the figures and may have skewed the results - who's to know. Nonetheless, it was a lot of fun to be participant and I managed to get some work done.Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-46654163378517301042014-06-04T08:53:09.311-06:002014-06-04T08:53:09.311-06:00I too was surprised at how low you were on the res...I too was surprised at how low you were on the results table given the quality of your submissions.<br /><br />This piece was outstanding.
