Dountful I'll have time to enter this one.  Too busy through the start of Nov.  Haven't touched hobby stuff since the CDO golem contest.  Perhaps of I come up with a great idea... Good to all who do enter.

Everything going fine for you all? Fingers crossed I can find the time for a small entry. Will probably be a rush before deadline thing if I get the chance.

The consruction phase of operation ‘Flaming Taurus’ nears completion. Now all that remains is for my artistic genius to be realized by Igor and his slaves’ rather dubious talents. I think examples may have to be made! No matter I have plenty of slaves.

All good just a few touch ups and its in

I think I whipped the only slave with decent painting skill too much.
His back is bent with pain and his hands are shaking and making a real mess of things.

Abecedar, I know how you feel. One of mine even damaged the project last night. However you reasoning is flawed. More whipping is needed... to encourage the others (at the very worst so Igor informs me, the extra whipping makes their murals of the finished project a bit blurry which covers a multitude of errors).

I have a cunning plan.   I'll whip the one taking the photos so all the mistakes will be un-noticeable.

@Abecedar: Truly a plan as cunning as a very cunning fox! Having just reviewed the lastest painting by my slaves I may avail myself of it. Though given the degree of the problem I may need a new whip.

Still trudging along. getting to the point where the basic paint job gets tiddly-booed up and either gets better or gets ruined

@Abecedar, I have never heard of being tiddly-booed up nor can I find it in any dictionary or thesaurus and yet strangely I know exactly what you mean. Indeed I think I may be extremely experienced in it. Some words just fit.

My entry is in flame on everyone

Igor informs me that we too are ready for ignition. Finally I can return to the giant sqiddly snail cavalry ( squidails, snailids, squails of Zharr....).

Almost there.   I am liking what I've done.  Probably not worth Gold but thats usual for me.

Only a few days to go.  Finally up to taking photos.
Now to see how many mistakes I can see.

My entry is in.  Good luck everyone.

Finally my entry is in. I was hanging on hoping to improve but Igor informs me even with more slaves the improvements would not be done in time.
Never mind. I reckon at the moment I am a shoe in for silver|

Good work, lads! I'm going to make a break for it and attempt a quick little entry in between sculpting. Cunnin' plan...

This theme is a wonderfully open one, I can't wait to see what people have done

I thought it best to get my entry in early whilst on my days off. and I've decided that I do not like it.
Because it a longer wait until the voting thread

Last day to enter!
