I like to think that my painting and photography skills will serve to highlight how good the other entries are.  We can't all be that good after all and it is a good prompt to get shifting with things. Last year for example was the push I needed to finish my WW2 German force so I could enter it into the army category, otherwise I'm sure I'd still have some sitting around in their undercoats

Hi Lem, getting there slowly, thanks for asking.

I have been keeping myself busy quietly painting for several forum members ( I'm assured the figures will not be entered in the comp  :D ), and slowly getting better.  

How are you keeping?

Are you still helping out at shows? I am hoping to be at Triples this year doing a 6mm Napoleonic game, and no I have not gone to the dark side and dropped a scale, all the figures are already painted by other members in our little group.

good evening !!!
I would try my chance too modestly this year, the level is very high, and this is a very good motivation to excel !!!
but the priority remains the exchange between people of good company !!!

Really looking forward to judging again this year and it's great to some new members showing interest in entering.  The standard of painting keeps getting better year by year and even if you do not get placed your work gets seen by an ever increasing number of people. 

Good luck to every one.

Andy Mac :D

Does a Trireme count as a vehicle?  :)

Vehicle would probably be best for that one, I would have said the Open - Single Base category but it would be too big for the maximum base size requirement.

No less than a tank.

Maybe a silly question; but if I were to enter a based tank, where the base contained 2 foot figures, would that be disqualified?

Absolutely not i think, there have been vehicles with tank riders and the such in previous competitions so basically the same no?

strangefellow

I was hoping so. My entry will be used in the ww1 army im building so id like it to fit thematically. :)

That's fine, no bother at all.  You can enter it in the 'Vehicle' category if it's just a tank and some foot, or if it's more of a mini-diorama you could enter it in the 'Open - Single Base' category instead?

Every time I take a pic of it I see more flaws and it's back to the paint shed >:(
