Hi Kenny

You are right but at least Graham entered and by default it looks like he will be the winner!

I wondering whether this competition idea (which is a great one by the way) is going to continue. Two days to go so we may have a flurry of entries!

Not so fast!  Here is another entry.  Still not an exact copy.  But along the lines of.

Hooray! Nice one Thelma. Keep those entries coming everyone. It's quite good fun once you get going.

Tomorrow is judgement day..... get your entries in quick!

Hi there,

You know I do always try to support the competitions, but I am having computer problems at the moment, so havent been able to post any pics anywhere, but once I get sorted, you won't stop me !!!!!!!

Hi Phoenix - no worries - i hope you sort out your PC issues.

I am pleased to announce that the winner of this week's SNAP is Thelma! Well done!

It took me a few hours to work through the hundreds of entries  

So Thelma, you need to post your own design for everyone to copy with the winner being chosen next Friday.

Thanks for taking part.

Well I am sure it was a close thing Graham
Here is my model.  I have called it "FLOGGING A DEAD HORSE"

Well done on winning Thelma and a big slap on the back to myself for coming last    :lol:

Flogging a dead horse was a sad joke just in case anyone didnt get it.  Referring to how quiet it is on this forum.  I have gone spells where I have not posted for a while too so it was a surprise to see how quiet it is when I finally found time to look in.  Anyway I decided to be optomistic.  So the story is the horse wasn't dead after all, just having a rest.  Now it has attitude. .

Hi Thelma

I thought that was a great joke and 'flogging a dead horse' is how I feel. We've had the debate before about people getting more involved so I won't go there. This competition is a great way of learning new models and I am certainly enjoying it.

Come one everyone...

Finally I got a little time this week to put this one together, I really like the way the horse looks, apart from giving him too long a body.

Hi Dan
Well done on the model!  The reason the horse looks a bit long in the body is the it either has to be made with a 260 and 160 or with a 260 and 350/360.  The mane, front legs, bottom body bubble and tail are made from the smaller balloon.  The head, neck and top body are made from the bigger balloon.  I also do a version that is a little more simple using the bigger balloon for the back legs.  I made one in Southport today(no yesterday) and took a photo.  I will post it on here tomorrow if you like.  I have to say your is definitely the best attempt so far  

What on earth has happened to everyone?

Who to pick .... hmmmmm.  Well Dan it looks like it is your turn to do a model.  I dont really feel very inspired by this competition though I have to admit.  But that is because I don't like copying.  If it were a game where someone posted a model and you had to make it with one difference and then the next person had to change one thing etc etc. that would be more interesting to me.  It would be like Chinese Whispers then and it would be interesting what the initial model turned into at the end.  But perhaps it does not matter what the game is.  Perhaps everyone is to busy.  I am off on a two week trip so may not be able to join in anything till I get back.  Hope the forum picks up.  It would be a shame if it just fazzled out.

I think it would be a shame too. I like the concept of your idea Thelma, but just wonder how long it would take to really pick up. We need to get more people acting on this forum, It's a great way to meet chat help and improve our skills. But only if people join in... don't be lurkers . Here is one that should be easy for everybody to follow. I've been after a better but still quick dog for a long time, and a little while ago I was shown this. I have to say many thanks Yvonne. good luck to all (I hope there is an all to this one).

Come ON!!!! Where has everyone got to?  :roll:  :roll:
