Errr...yeah! Of course... In pyramid like pom-poms girls! ^^

You knew I couldn't pass this up, right?

Don't tell us Nik - just undercoat with a 2 inch brush, blocked with dark green and flesh, then a bit of dip?

You won't catch me commenting about 'dipping' and 'cheerleaders' in the same sentence - at least not until Friday

The prizes look good, Leon. Though the photo you used on TMP is far too good. I have those figures and mine look awful compared to those 

If I remember correct, they belong to Pawel and Andy Mac respectively.  I had a browse through our Flickr account for some suitably impressive work, and figured something by the judges should do it!

That's not nice, putting all us blotch painters down before the comp has even begun!

Haha, no I just know that nice figures catch the attention, like magpies to the shiny shiny... 

I think I may have a go

Well I think we might be sending some photos from one of our club members here in Copenhagen he does beautiful SYW figs. So we will have to have a photo session.

One thing I would like to request for next years contest how about Best Painted Army, it seems to me that when you have one unit with a couple of figures painted on a base you lose the impact of large beautifully painted armies. It is one thing to paint 10 or 20 figures to a fantastic standard but another to paint 200-500 figures to a very high level. That to me is what a wargame painting competion should be. I have often seen painters thart are just that painters and collectors paint up a couple of figures then move on to another period or scale for them the painting is the hobby not wargaming.

So please next year Best painted army with min of 200 figs to 500 figs.

Well that's me finished my entry.

Possibly that should have said ... Finished deciding on what to do for my entry

Thanks for the suggestion, we'll definitely have a think about that next year.  Everything depends on how many entries we get for this one!

Can't wait to begin!!!!

^^

Only a few hours to go before the Competition begins!

planning furiously... funnily enough found some hardboard in the shed and a power saw. I now have some nice 60mm bases
it is now that I am planning stuff, I realise I could ahve done with various other figures that I forgot to order - poot
