2018 Painting Competition - Runner-Up!

I've been sitting on the fence for quite a few years, but this year I've decided to join as well. Nothing special, so it's all about the participation for me.

Best of luck to all contestants, and a good dose of the various pills to all the judges. They will need them!



P.S. Phil, could you look at my entry first thing in the morning? Every little helps, you know.  :P
Water is indeed the essential ingredient of life, because without water you can't make coffee!

OK, so...I thought i'd just say a couple of things.

1.  The standard of painting each year gets better and better.

2.  I do not envy the task ofthe judges this year.  There are lots of winners already submitted.  Picking 'the one' looks like an impossible task to me.

Well done everyone!   =D>

Okay, that's an entry in every category except 20th Century Foot.
Sticking by my rule of 'It has to be painted in February'.
I can relax in the certain knowledge I won't win a thing! :D

I can't believe that people can paint such small models so well, the standard of entry is so incredibly high. I think I need to work on my technique and get some new eyes.

No, you're great; they're all in the wrong.  It's the only way I can motivate myself to pick up a brush  :D
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

I've just added another entry to the vehicles section.

Zebra based troll centaurs vs giraffe based troll centaurs?

What are the Odds of that! ;)
