Pendraken Painting Competition 2016!

[Roy]

Is that exceptable meaning it can't be included or should it read acceptable meaning it can be used?

Typo. Sorry, I obviously hadn't spotted it. Should read "acceptable".

[Leman]

As I get older my hands are getting a little more shaky. Currently making a bit of a pig's ear of Prussian artillerymen, although they'll probably turn out ok in the end.

Brace them against the table-top, to keep them steady, Bob.

Trying to solder a couple of tiny 'bits' with my hands 'floating free', the other day, you'd have thought I was suffering from Parkinson's. 

And before anyone jumps on me......That's not meant to be funny.

Cheers - Phil

My dad worked in the field of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. He told me so much about the effects I worry when I can't remember stuff

[Tawa]

Count me in for this.

It'll be the kick-start for my High Elves.

Can you post stuff that you have already posted on the forum this  or does it have to brand new?

[Roy]

It just says stuff painted within the last 12 months and not previously involved in any competitions. Unless I've missed a bit?
Last year I entered a painted miniature that I'd shown on this forum in another thread, prior to the comp - and it had been seen on the Steve Dean forum as well.

[Fenton]

That's what I presumed Roy. But just wanted to make sure

[Leon]

Yep, as Roy says above, as long as it's been painted in the past 12 months then you're good to go.  It's not really a 'What can you paint right now' competition, more a celebration of what everyone has achieved over the last year.

Good job I managed to paint one thing last year

Oh! I suspect a few of us are planning the annual February stress paint!

[andymac]

Yeah!  just got my internet back up and running in time, down since Xmas and was getting alittle worried.

Looking forward again to seeing the increasing standard of painting, which has risen yearly.  This means though a bad head for a few days when it comes to judgeing. 

Good luck to all

Andy Mac

[nikharwood]

Totally agreed, Andy - it's a nice headache to have though. I'm delighted to be judging again - and looking forward to it once more.

And, dear entrants, don't forget, I drink Single Malt - none of that blended rubbish. We can do an internal investigation into competition-fixing in about another couple of decades once it's truly out of hand (FIFA anyone?!) 

[andymac]

I go with Nik about the single malt, but please only Scots will do.  I may live in Wales but I don't have to drink their whisky  (any one who has tried Penderyn will know what I mean.

I'll soon sort that out for you.

I would suggest to change a bit "pre 20th century foot" and incrase the number of figures to 18 - its 3 stands of 6 on one movement tray.
Most of LoA and AWI regiments comes this way.
Please, Leon do this and I promise to rock this category this year

Really? Not even Nikka from the barrel? That's a shame  

+1 for changing the pre-20th foot to an 18 figure limit as well

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

But what happens if we base in30s?

You'll all have to photo your units carefully then, to make sure only 16 are visible...!   

We can have a look at changing the rules for next year's comp, but it's a bit late for this year really as everything has been announced already over the interwebs...
