Pendraken Painting Competition 2014!

[paulr]

With some difficulty Paul! I initially tried to draw on the hatching but it just looked wrong and out of scale. So in the end I just went for a darker braided edge and a flat centre. I think I worked up from foundry dark chestnut, foundry dark scarlet and Vallejo scarlet  in a few layers. The overall effect seemed to work - but it's one of the less interesting American flags !

But with such a romantic back story

There are some really incredible entries out there!  Great job everyone!

To be honest I cannot believe that it has already come round to Pendrakens annual painting competition, and once I sorted through what I'd painted during 2013 continuing up to the end of February it's quite amazing to be honest I've actually managed to be able to enter 27 entries within the following categories. Foot - Pre 20th Century, Mounted, Open - Army, Open - Single Base, Vehicles.

Well good luck everone

take care

Hi Guys - can anyone help a useless luddite!

After many months of lurking I thought I should start to post more as I work my way through a couple of ACW armies. What better way to start than entering the painting competition I thought. I didn't take into account that my knowledge of blogs, etc. is v. poor. I worked out that I should open a photobucket account and upload my pictures there. Job done. Unfortunately, I need step-by-step instructions to get them onto the forum!! Check out my first effort under the single base entries!
Somebody, please take pity on an old duffer.
Thanks in anticipation...

Once your in photobucket, click on your chosen picture within an album.
It should now be the only visible picture (ignoring adverts)
There will be four boxes to the right with code in.
Click on the bottom one.
It will autocopy for you.
Paste into the forum thread you want.
Repeat as necessary.
Post.
Hope that helps.

Many thanks for swift reply Will - Photobucket won't let me back in! Will leave it for a while and hopefully get these pics on the forum before the deadline!

Thanks again.

The other option is to email the pictures to Leon

[Genom]

Well finally it's done, I've settled for the best pics I can manage. And just like the last time now that I see the close ups I can see all the errors, but they look good on the table where the Mega Pixel means jack.

Good luck all.

If you get stuck tomorrow, email them over to me and I can upload them for you, no bother at all.  All you'd need to do is make a post in the relevant category, saying 'Entry 1, French line, Pics to come.' or something to that effect.

[Scolty]

Thanks everyone!

I'm having problems with photobucket - so will email pics tonight. Hope that is OK Leon!

Cheers,

Eric

Apologies everyone!

Looks like my pics WERE transferred across last night.
Still not sure how it happened!

I pulled the image links from your post and edited the pics on to the Forum.

I've just edited in all the various pictures we've been sent for the competition, so please make sure to check your entry to make sure you're happy with it!  I've also gone through all the others and resized where necessary, so let me know if there's any I've missed!

Only a few hours to go now, and we've passed last years total so far.  Another 2 entries and we'll have broken the 200 entry mark!

Vehicles thread was nice and quiet, now on it's third page!
Should have entered my Argentine Panhards too!
