The painting competition comments thread.

[Techno II]

Too many terrific entries to comment on them individually, but as someone rather new to the 10mm scene, the competition definitely beautifully illustrates both the impressive factor of entire units and armies of 10mm miniatures while also highlighting the amount of detail that can still be achieved on them. Very inspiring stuff all around!

Might only have time to finish and photograph one or two entries for myself this year, but hope to be back next year with an entire army perhaps...

Welcome from me, too !

Cheers - Phil

Some superb work on display and this is going to be very hard to judge! Well done on all have entered and good luck to one and all .

Hi everyone - thank you for the kind welcome. I am sorry to have been so slow to reply...I'm not exactly a genius at using these forums...

While I may be useless at posting replies in threads, I have been a keen fan of the forum and the painters here for some time. There is some really, really great work here, and it inspires all the time - you guys pulled me into 10mm in the first place! I started with FPW a couple years ago, and have gone to other eras from there...I hope to share more going forward.

Best of luck to all, and thanks again!

Greg

There's some cracking stuff this year, good luck to everyone!  I'll be turning the entry threads off a little after midnight to give our Stateside members enough time to get their entries in.  Then we'll get the voting threads up at around midday on Monday.

Awesome stuff come in today

[petercooman]

Going to have a look through the threads once everything is in.

Sad i didn't have the time to get something togheter for this one. Next time!

Just managed to finish varnishing my last entry (while watching the Great Pottery Throw-up). Its dry and photographed and somehow got it up-loaded before the deadline.
Thankyou Leon for bringing the painting competition back. It is always great to see what can be done in this most wonderful scale and this year the standard is raised again.

Many thanks to Leon for loading my photos for me.

Having had a look around, I think there are some stunning entries this time round.  Good luck everyone.

Some tricky choices and painful omissions to be made in voting.

[Big Insect]

A really great competition and some truly inspirational painting and basing styles.

I await the results with baited breath 

[Gareth121]

Just voted. That was very very difficult. There were some exceptional entries and the quality of painting is outstanding.

[Westmarcher]

   Far too difficult! And I've only just started voting! So many good entries!

Some tricky choices and painful omissions to be made in voting.

So true! You think you've done well producing a short list and then you realise you've still got to cut it down again! 

[magpiestear]

So I've cast my votes, which was really tricky.  Some awesome entries, lots of tough choices to make.
I've enjoyed looking at all of the entries though!

Good luck to all................

I've done my voting - so very hard - some great entries and innovative subject matter.

I'm inspired to start my 2022 entries already - maybe a CWC British Berlin force, in that wonderful Berlin Camo.

Or a Napoleonic French in Egypt army ... although I'd have to 'lobby' for some matching Brits to fight them - the ones in the long-tailed frock-coats and top-hat type shakos (& the distinctive French Camel Corps as well) (... and the Mameluks & Turks of course, for the Battle of the Pyramids) ... hmmm maybe that is too big an ask 

NOTE TO SELF ... "you said you were not going to start doing Napoleonics until everything else was finished!!!" ... well the Egyptian Campaign is not really napoleonics , honestly.

[Steve J]

Blimey, that was hard! Quite a few categories where I struggled to whittle the entries down to 5 votes. Good luck to one and all as so many entries deserved to win.
