Greetings fellow Squirrel finding fanatics,
First of all, my apologies for not getting an update out in early March. Work was busy, life was hectic and putting one of these posts together takes a couple of hours and way more effort than people probably realize. Anyway, I have gone through everything including the theme round entries and put together the final tally of Squirrel Points. Before we go on to the scores, a few quick notes. If you have more points than you expected, it was because I counted some entries that you overlooked. If you have less points than you expected, it is because your claims didn't meet the 25 points minimum to claim a Squirrel Point.
Let's have a quick look at some of this month's entries, shall we?

This year's Squirrel Duel saw a huge range of minis in terms of periods, scales and genres. I would like to thank everyone who took part, and I would especially like to thank those of you who kept a list of your Squirrel Points in you challenge entries, it made my life a lot easier. In the duel information post I predicted that half of the entries wouldn't include the Squirrel label, and while it was less than half, it was still a fair number. I was pretty lenient and went through every challengers posts one by one, though I probably should have been a lot stricter.
So, on to this year's winner. In the last Squirrel update, I asked if anyone could catch ChrisW.
...And the answer was.....
A resounding NO!
ChrisW is this year's winner, with a splendid 36 Squirrel Points, Congratulations to KerryT and TeemuL for coming in joint 3rd place. Well done to all our Squirrel Side Duel challengers. You have proved once again that there is always space for another side project or extra set of minis somewhere in our collections.
So, that is it for Challenge 16's Squirrel Duel. I hope to see you all again in Challenge 17.

Thanks for organising and keeping tally. My actual output bore no resemblance to my planning... maybe next year 🐿️
ReplyDeleteFantastic stuff! Wow, there were quite a few of us doing LOTS of different things. Terrific fun. Thank you for your diligence (and patience) serving as Squirrelfinder General, Stuart!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this Stuart, this was again very much fun and nice to get podium finish. :) I quickly calculated my output, without bonus points I could have had a maximum of 35 squirrel entries, so I guess it is not about hunting squirrels, it is about painting a lot! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Chris!
Well squirrelled. And congrats to the head nut chaser Christopher.
ReplyDeleteWell done Stuart, it wouldn't' have been an easy task to tally. Thank you for doing this. Hope work pressure settles down soon and you geta chance to enjoy sone hobby time
