After much deliberation and gnashing of teeth it came down to the crafty mindset of these 3 painterly painters to take out the Nerdcademy award for this year!

First and second was so close it wasn't funny! but in the end the More than meets the eys challenge was won by none other than everyone's favorite Cam! Camkhieri! well done matey boyo a great job, great subtle converting and a lovely paintjob keeping in mind the brief! well done my friend!

Cam's entry:


Second place and winning the papercraft wall set for battles on a space derelict! was...... DrH Well done Dr, let's hope you'll be operating in the void soon!

DrH's entry:


And third place the much coveted and maligned Nerd's Nude for this year goes to a worthy winner (if you can call this prize a win)..................Inmygravenimage! Well done dude! I want this up in your lounge room!

Graven's entry:


and there we have it, another year , another bunch of great models and I can also tell you that Insaniak was nipping at a few heels as well but sadly just gets an internet fist bump and a well done

Excellent... Congratulations, guys

And thanks, Nerdy, for one again giving us an excuse to paint something completely different!

Clearly, I have won the best prize well done all and thanks nerdy!

We are all very jealous of your prize indeed, Graven'.

Congratulations to my fellow winners. Nice work, all.

and I'll echo Insaniak and thank Nerdy for giving us an excuse to build and paint something unique.

I'll have to come up with something to do with all that cardstock now... thinking cap on...

Nerdy, are you going with the tried-and-true method of posting, by shouting a name and throwing things out of an open window, or shall we PM you our addresses to allow you to be more accurate?

Congrats to Cam and DrH and Graven on the wins.
And commiserations to everyone who didn't. Some all round fantastic work. These comps really bring out peoples inventiveness.

Lol thanks guys, i'm guessing the method of throwing them to the wind and hoping for the best isn't great so yeah, it might be a good idea for you wonderful deserving winners to PM me your addresses so I can then procrastinate for a while and then send them off into the wide world to be enjoyed by all!

everyone did indeed submit some really cool ideas on the theme and I've got at least one more trophy for next year! so until then (well until I check my own blog) keep your brush moist dudes!

Congrats to the winners, I was utterly stumped by this theme so it was great seeing how creative all these entries were!

DrH's Nid Hunter is probably my favourite, there's definitely a story to be told about that guy's exploits!

PM'd, Nerdy.

Thanks Paradigm.
When you start to dress as your prey, you've seen and done a lot of stuff...

Just a final note for the winners, I'll be getting the prizes sorted and sent in a week or two so please hold on and be patient, I haven't forgotten anyone it's just hard finding a banner company willing to put my Nerds Nude image on a 10x6' Canvas.

A banner company... oh dear...

Is that 10x6 inches or 10x6 foot??
Please say foot.


Also when can we expect a Nerd's Nude Calendar?
