Quote from: mollinary on 09 March 2023, 08:33:28 AMThis is a difficult one to work out. With every voter having five votes in each category, if you only enter one model, you guarantee that four out of every five votes go to someone else! If you have five entries of pretty even quality, you may get all the votes. If everyone only had one vote, I think your analysis would be accurate, in the current situation, not so sure.


I didn't think in these terms, you actually have a good point Mollinary. But again, the technique and the painting style is the same all over your personal entries, so maybe focusing on your best let's say 2 good works per category is adequate to show your achievements without the spam effect. (Not specifically "you", I'm talking in general).

Congrats to the winners! Some excellent work!

As to how many pieces you enter in each category....it's one, always enter one, no more, and make it damn good!

Already looking forward to next years comp. I'll be looking forward to competing with you all!

Congratulations to all who took part and especially those who were lucky enough to win. I had great plans for this year to put entries in the army, mounted and single figure categories but real life came crashing in. I thought the standard this year was higher still, with many entries possibly undone by photographic skills rather than painting. Many thanks to Leon for organising and providing the generous prizes 😁👍

Congratulations to all the winners.  As we have come to anticipate, we were spoiled with some very high quality workmanship, with some of the entries on display I was just amazed.

When I saw your blood bowl team I thought it was an absolutely brilliant idea and amazingly executed. I shared a link of your entry to all of my friends who were or still are Blood Bowl enthusiasts. Well done!

I fully agree with the sentiment, but anybody not from the UK and/or under 40 is going to get that reference.

Can you point us to the original figures / tell us how you did them?

Quote from: DecemDave on 09 March 2023, 09:17:14 AM@Leon - can you get one of the wargames mags to publish those winners in the same style they cover shows?  Should boost interest in the scale.

I can try!  They've not shown much interest in the past though sadly.

I found it amusing that Are You Being Served was something like the third most popular imported show in Dutch TV.

More amusing than 'Are You Being Served' was at any rate. :D

If that was your first go at painting 10mm, I can't imagine how good the 2nd go will be! I really like those medieval command stands.  =D>
