I see blacksmith's been busy too.....Some wonderful detail work.....damn crisp piccies too !
Spenno's dwarfs !! Good grief !!
Cheers - Phil.

yeah, Spenno's work and especially his Dwarfs, has demoralised me completely. Amazing stuff 

Thank you Techno and Blacksmith for the kind words
My 10mm work is nowhere near and so don't be demoralised, i'd be happy to paint 10mm as well as you all.
Also i did paint them for Leon for website so put more effort in than i would normally lol

Just been having a look through the entries as well.

Quite frankly the detail of painting here makes a mockery of the the scale! Great work everyone 

I'm planning to get some entries in. Not that I can hold a candle to most the stuff here but never mind. 

Wait, Spenno's stuff is 15mm right? I thought his dwarves were 10mm!

There is a 15mm Fantasy range lurking on the website!  (Not for long though, they'll be coming over to Minibits soon.)

I'm surprised no-one's entered one of the 28mm Elizabethan's yet!

I had forgotten.
Are the three scales going to be evaluated differently?

It's not something I've thought about.  We've only ever had 10mm entries apart from these ones this year, so it's never been an issue.  I doubt we'll get many more 15/28 entries though, so we will probably put them all in together.

I will withdraw them if people don't agree with it, but i suppose it is they are in the open and not fantasy section.

Nah, they're Pendraken figures, there's nothing in the rules against it! 

There's actually a couple of items in the Fantasy which are easily 35-40mm high, they'd be great entries!

Don't bother please. You know you don't have to. Really.

I humbly think different scales cannot compete among them as the bigger the model the easier to use different techniques and get better results IMHO. But of course I'll happily accept any decision on this regard; I commented it initially because I was highly impressed with the level of Spenno's dwarves thinking they were just 10mm 
OTOH, in the anything goes category you could technically include anything in any scale. 

Considering Open already includes Armies, Dungeons, Monster and individual figures, I'm not sure the scale makes any great difference.

The more the merrier - while Pendraken is primarily known for its 10mm figures, if the 15 or 28mm figures do well in the painting comp then it will raise their profile.

Well expressed and I agree with that.

Have you considered a prize category for "best painting tip"?  Perhaps one tip allowed per photo submission.   I suspect everyone is looking for a few good tips to improve their 10mm painting.  Anyway, just an idea for next year.

I totally agree with Fred...I'm sure the judges will take things into consideration as regards scale anyway. (and of course the obvious bribes of bottles of an alcoholic nature...hic !)
If 'he'd' been cast up ....I'd have been having a go at painting 'Jim'...a 10mm scale monster that's nearer to a 'normal' 15mm scale.
I'll just have to make a figure that I think will fit into the Pendraken ranges....and suits my own style of infrequent painting.
Cheating ....Me ?

Best painting tip is a good idea for future comps.
Here's mine.....Don't leave your new brushes in a little tin pencil case on the floor when you have cats.....Under NO circumstances take one of the said brushes...Remove the plastic ferule...Put it in your mouth and suck, to tease the tip together.....Unless you want to know what matured cat widdle tastes like.
Unfortunately I do....An experience I do NOT want to repeat.
For your information it does NOT taste like flat lager !

Cheers - Phil. (It's made me go cold remembering that.....UGH !!!....Spit , spit, spit.....Wash mouth out, over and over again !)

The Grand Duchy of Cheddar, OMG! 
That cute house is hand made?
