It seems as if last week's exhortations worked, as we have an update so large that I decided to do it today, Friday, as opposed to my usual Saturday post.

The update includes three returnees with their first entries of the year, including one who took the challenge in year's one and two then had a year off last year. Rumours of a trip "at Her Majesty's Pleasure" or of a secret mission to the former eastern bloc are, of course, utterly unfounded!

So, in no particular order, we have:

Mervyn with some Scottish horsemen
Koen de Smedt submits his first update of the year: vast numbers of 28mm figures including a couple of Frozen tableaus!?
And Ashley is also back with a bang, sending in some good looking walkers in a couple of scales
Also returning (from his long trip, LOL) is John de Terre Neuve, who has obviously spent his year away painting and sent all his entries in at once!
Andy Duffell has gone Japanese...well, apart from the burnt out CMP truck
The painting machine that is Matt Slade sends in a collection of 28mm beasties
Egg is still modernising: twelve assorted vehicles in 15mm
And last, but by no means least, Chris Stoesen takes a break from writing scenario packs and submits a very nice looking log cabin

I have also, at Egg's suggestion, linked all the names in the list above to their galleries, with the galleries set to open in a new window. Let me know if that makes browsing the galleries significantly easier as, if it is, I'll keep doing it and, if it isn't, I won't bother next time!

Now just because I've put some links in doesn't mean we'll be losing the weekly photos in this post. Here are today's...
