Things are starting to get moving now, with lots of first-submissions received this week.

In no particular order, we have:

• Dave Humm with what was the last of last year's output, but we'll let him claim it this year as last year's books are now closed
• The Great Gatzemeyer sends in his first entry of the year: some rather nicely painted WW2 German infantry
• Andy Duffell follows suit, but his are British Commandoes. Perhaps if the two of you...
• Matt "the machine" Slade slams in another batch of Napoleonics destined for the Iberian Peninsula.
• Mr Plowman goes gNorman on us in a change from his usual sci-fi offerings
• Newbie John Haines sends in his first entry ever: some AWI British infantry
• And other newbie Cabey Cabey has some French Hussars for us to admire, along with some pigs and casualties
• Steve Burt has been watching Daktari, although I can't quite see whether the lion has crossed-eyes or not
• We welcome back Mervyn, with his first entry of the year: assorted Celts
• Egg also sends in his first submission: some lovely Cold War Brits with helicopters rescued from varnish hell with a little olive oil
• And last, but by no means least, Andrew Helliwell pops in his second entry of the year: some more Thirty Years War troops
