Gauranteed mine won't be amongst them ;) :D. It would help if I got around to painting some stuff for it though...

I will just look at the entries and alternate between drooling and questioning the painters parentage  :)

PS still looking for one of those machines the people who enter the competition have that shrinks painted 28mm down to 10mm, cos thats the only way they can have got that amount of detail.

A bitter and twisted and jealous Orcs  :d

Oh.....I thought they were simply spraying the wee men white, and then using something like photoshop to 'colour them in' on the PC......I imagine that's quite easy on a big screen.. ;) :P

No I am sure that could be done - However its not Gentlemanly conduct - you would be riddiculed  and banned from the Forum forever -

Even worse we would send FSN to stay  with them without his pills     X_X X_X and lecture them on Centurion tanks -  ~X(

;D ;D

I know a few people who are more than capable of using photoshop like that.....
I wonder if I could get one of them to waste a couple of hours giving that a whirl.

(If I tried, it'd look like a 3 year old had coloured it  in with crayons. ;D ;D ;D)

A serious question.

I'd like to enter the painting competion this year but two of my possible entries, 7yw French and Prusians are only 99.9% Pendraken.

The Pendraken battalion guns looked too big so I subsituted 6mm guns but kept the Pendraken figures.

If I enter should I include the batalion guns (as they should be there) or leave them out because the models aren't Pendraken?

From what I remember, they all have to be Pendraken.

Yes, all Pendraken. But you are allowed to do a bit of converting.
