Hi all,
I've volunteered to run a 'paint off' this year.
Entries will go live on 1st November at 00:00 and close on 30th November at 23:59 GMT
Rules later.
Will
Sounds fun. However, I've not participated in one before, so can you advise me any rules?
Thanks,
Terry
Excellent Will, thanks for running this show!
We post the pictures here I take it?
Also; who to bribe? :D
Cheers,
Rob
Sounds interesting and look forward to reading the rules. It might just spur me to paint more in November...

There's only one rule.
Obey all the rules. ;)
My guess is it's going to have very similar (or exactly the same rules) as the previous comps.
Cheers - Phil.
Each category will have a separate thread on this board, hopefully all will become clear soon, just finalising the last details, like the number of my Swiss bank account for bribes!

No, but I guess lemmey does ;D
First rule of Paint-off, don't talk about Paint-off. Does that mean submissions have to bare metal :-/

Might look better than some peoples efforts with a paint brush.
Memo to self - go to Wargames Store and get the spray on DPM !
Just a cotton picking minute. :o :o :o :o
We've STILL never seen a single one of your efforts, Ian.
Come on....Let's see some.
Cheers - Phil
When I can use a camera !
Come on, Ian !
You must have some friends who can use a camera ?
Methinks he doth protest too much.
(You should see the awful photos I send to Leon,...... I know I was supposed to be a professional photographer.....But I don't have access to that sort of kit, now...and I don't have the time, or room, either.)
Cheers - Phil
Sounds like a good idea count me in
Take care
Andy
I plan to enter with the goal of securing one vote. A goal that I can practically guarantee will be achievable! :D
Yeah....OK Bill, I'll vote for you and Nobby.
Who wants my third vote ? (I can't vote for Will...He's already said he's not playing.)
Cheers - Phil.
(I'll do it properly...don't worry.)
Thanks!
(Although I'm hoping to get one more vote the fsn because his signature rubs salt in the wound every time I look at it!)
Thus sounds wonderful, and I will make every effort to join in. Looks like a lot of work has gone into it, and I commend all involved! I am thinking of a model for me to enter, and now just pray time will allow!
Terry
Hi Terry,
It is a lot of fun.
Kidding aside, I enter something or the other to support the side (and with the sincere hope that it will encourage others to decide "they can do better than that guy") I Wish for dozens and dozens of entries in every category!
You have the skills so I hope you'll find the time!
I am trying to decide what to do now, perhaps something involving a dog pulling a drum! :-\
Well done Will!
Looking forward to seeing some excellent entries :-bd
I may have a punt at this myself ... (now just got to think of something spectacular :-)
It would be awesome if you did!
Ferret in Berlin camo?
No, not the armoured car, a real ferret!
Ok - who's got the ferret meme ready to post?
Ferrets, nuts! (Sorry, you'll have to click the link. I can't get the picture to shew).
Not to use weasel words but - I ferreted out a way to do it

I mink this might be an official thread - so please delete if it shouldn't be here!
I may have missed the answer to the question but with the demise of free hosting at photobucket how should I submit an entry or even entries?

Flikr, Facebook, personal blog or similar seems to be the way to go.
Imgur, or email Leon or I and I'll post them.
Flikr Herd of it but never used it
Personal blog Haven't got one
Imgur What's this ?
Facebook I'm not inviting you lot to be my friends, my real friend would be shocked
Email Leon or Mad Lemmy Way to go
Now all I've got to do is take some pics, where's me old box brownie?
Just to be sure I am understanding how this works, we can post a picture, or are multiple pictures allowed of our model, anytime between Nov. 1 and Nov. 30?
If that is the case I will hope to begin my entrant starting tomorrow.
Terry
Check this thread and all will be revealed...

Thanks Rob,
I read that, but it did not seem to say when a model/pictures are to be posted. So I am assuming anytime during the November window.
I started work on my entry yesterday.
Terry
I will open threads on 1st November (as close to 00:01GMT as I can) and close them (as close to) after 23:59:59 as possible on the 30th.
There will then be a 7 day voting period.
And everyone ready?
Almost. I have some stuff that needs tweaking, other stuff that hasn't been started. Looking forward to it.
Just finishing off some infantry bases. The cavalry did battle yesterday and the artillery are still being painted, but nearly done.
I'm about finished with the conversion work, and will be starting the painting process once it's done and primed.
Since this involves a major conversion with quite a few hand carved bits I am also doing a pictorial essay on it as I've done with other similar projects. Should I wait to post that after the contest closes or go ahead and share it once I've posted the finished model? Please let me know what you all think.
Just a hint - I am doing the "Green Dragon".
Terry
Post after the contest closes, keep us in suspense! ;)
Start delayed due to youngest not wanting to sleep last night...
Sorry chaps.
Thanks for organising this ML =D>
It never goes away. My dog woke me at 5 this morning.
