Some of the entries this lunchtime are superb! My pitiful attempts just got knocked out the park!  :'(  ;D

Absolutely nothing wrong with your stuff Will. Definitely things to be proud of!

Given that I haven't managed to get anything painted for months every entry is better than my efforts!! :)

All of the entries are wonderful.

In the true sense of inspiring wonder.

In my case the wonder is .... I wonder if my life will ever settle down enough to let me get some painting done! :D

Forbes! Will you stop putting in blindingly good entries!  :D ;D

Sorry mate,  :P


I think mine are put to shame by plenty of the others though. No surprise to see many entries using the LoA range.

Finally managed to get my stuff finished and posted.

The painting was fun but I hate photography - which is probably why I can't do it well.

Some brilliant stuff this time round. Good to see that it isn't just the usual suspects that are having a go - and doing well too !!!

Oh, the irony! This painting competition has indirectly added to my painting list. Not for the competition itself - when picking up another unit (not the one I entered), I accidentally snapped off one of the figures at the knees! D'Oh! ....  ;D
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Pics taken and submitted :). Some simply stunning work on show which is going to make it damned hard to judge!

I've reduced the size of some of the entries, sometimes the photo hosting or blog software sets them as 1000+ pixels and they go off the screen or blow up too large.  I've tried to get them to a nice size which shows off the painting to its best.

I want to vote for Skinade Panzer IV but I really don't understand from which hacth the second tankist is coming from ?
Any bigger pictures somewhere ? I supposed it is the lateral turret hatch but something is bothering me.
Superb painting.
