That was great! Thanks again to everyone entered.

The White Lily Knight is my favorite, except that the tabard or what-have-you that goes over the shield looks very poorly painted from the primary angle in the picture. Looks good when looking directly at it though.

 

Plus I really really like weathering effects.

 

All awesome entries though.

Iacton's Marine was crap...he's a hack painter, no one likes him, he frightens lemurs, and he emits an unpleasant odor.

 

:D

 

OK...great looking models, and I pretty much agree with the top placings...thanks for the props, but I was lucky not to be in the bottom 5...the face was one of my worst (ironically that's my specialty), and the left armpit botchery was an immediate DQ factor.

 

Congrats to the winners!

At least my government hasn't placed me in protective custody for alleged hate crimes against lettuce.

Plus, quite clearly you put yourself in a difficult position to win by holding the paintbrush between your butt cheeks whilst swishing the model backwards and forwards on a piece of string... http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg148/Iacton/Smilies/thumbs.gif

 

As Lunch says, thanks for the kind words, but I think that Do Kier's (congrats Alex ;) ) work stood out as a winner and most of the models that I thought were good are up at the top.

 

On reflection of my own work, the base does nothing for the overall effect and the grenade arm is oddly positioned. Other than that, I seriously need to take sharper photos!

 

That said, it was a nice contest to be involved in, and interesting to see, up close, what other people really thought about my work.

 

So thanks for the invite Do Kier, I look forward to the next one ;)

Ack, Pointy stick didn't win ??? How can that be ?

Hmmm I'm maybe a bit partial on that one (hmmm slighty because well, TSOLRL roxxxxxs !). Hmmm Iacton deserves better and there, its a honest opinion.

 

Btw, how can you trust the judgement of a girl that does not know the difference between cider and champagne and a guy that eats veggies... Seriously 8).

 

Hey, when is the next issue ? This mini competition is a funny idea.
