Voting Results for the 2nd Bonus Theme Round: 'Rider(s) & Mount(s)'

With this theme falling in amongst the Christmas holidays I suspected it may have a fairly sparse turnout, but I was happily proven wrong as the entries kept streaming in right up to the deadline (and a bit past). In total we had 39 participants for this round and 88 votes were cast.

As you can see by the chart above it was a very tight race right to the end, with the top seven entries not being separated by more than 12 votes, in fact we have a tie for second place! So with no further ado I will first present the runners up.

MichaelA's 'English Civil War Dragoons'

AnneO's 'Marine Scout Dinosaur Rider'

and ByronM's 'Cyberpunk on Jetboard'

In Third Place I was delighted to be given the nod with my 'Russian Civil War Tachanka'.  I'll happily add an additional 25 points to my tally.

As I mentioned above we have a tie for Second Place.  Both Burkhard's 'Ney and Staff at Waterloo' AND Alan's 'Dinotruppen' claim the silver position with their excellent entries. Fabulous work guys and congratulations! Both of you will be adding 50 points to your totals on the roster.

And last but not least, in First Place we have MartinN (Nick) with his marvellous crusader knight 'Monsieur Jaufre de Montalba'. Congratulations Nick, you will get to add another 75 points to your points roster and as a first prize you'll receive a gift certificate for products from the very talented Alf over at 'Barrage Miniatures'! Thank you Alf and enjoy your prize Nick!

Again, thanks to everyone who submitted entries and cast votes. You really make these bonus rounds great fun with your participation.

Okay! The next bonus theme is 'Victorian' so get a cup of tea, wet your brushes and 'think of England' - I need your entries by next Saturday night so have fun and get painting!
