AOS Painter of the Month Competition - August 2013

AOS Painter of the Month Competition - August 2013

Postby timewizard » Wed Jul 31, 2013 8:05 pm

Welcome to the August 2013 Painter of the Month Competition. Changes from last month's post are in red.

Each contestant must submit a photo of an unopened box, unassembled model or unpainted model or models or submit a drawing or photo describing the project into the "Painter of the Month August 2013" thread by August the 10th. Primed only models are acceptable but completely unprimed models are preferred. All genres of modeling are acceptable; i.e. any 40K, WFB, LOTR, FoW, plastic, metal, paper or collectable model as well as any scratch built project including terrain pieces. A list will be posted by one of the moderators in this post listing all eligible contestants for the month's competition. No entries will be accepted or can be changed after the 10th of August. No exceptions.

During the month, wip photos can be put into the thread, and in fact are encouraged, but may not be placed in the competition gallery.

All completed entries must be submitted by the 28th of August and must posted in the competition gallery. No entries will be accepted after midnight GMT on August 28th. Only one entry per person will be permitted and the entry must consist of a single image. Multiple photos on the image are allowable but if more than one photo is uploaded to the gallery by any one entrant at any time, that entrant will be disqualified.

Voting will be held from just after midnight August 28th until midnight GMT on August 30th. At that time voting will be closed and the winners will be announced.

Every registered member of the site may vote. The total number of votes each member may cast will depend on the number of entrants as follows;
Up to 5 entries - 1 vote per registered member
6 to 10 entries - 2 votes per registered member
More than 10 entries - 3 votes per registered member
You can change your vote(s) until the poll is closed. No poll results will be revealed (even to the moderators) until the poll has closed.

The first place winner will be named the "Painter of the Month" and will be listed on the site. In addition, first place gets 3 points, 2nd place 2 points and third place 1 point.

In the event of a tie for any place or position, both entrants will receive the appropriate number of points. At the end of the year a "Painter of the Year" as well as the 2nd and 3rd place finishers will be announced. The winner will be determined by the total number of points received throughout the year.
If an entrant has not completed their project by the deadline, they may still enter an incomplete entry if desired, but it will of course be judged as such. The only requirement is to post the entry by the deadline. The members of the site have the final word after all!

We have a tentative list of prizes for the year end winners. These include, but are not limited to;
AOS Commemorative Dice
A GW limited edition collection figure
A £15 voucher from Anvil Industries

Additional prizes are still in the works.

Good luck to all the contestants!

Might get something done...

Some 54mm inquisitor models. A smattering of grey primer on them, to help with clean up, and some assembly completed.

Assassins will be priorities, then space marine.

For August, I'm going to be kit bashing a Stormtalon in something BSG-esk ;) And if I have time I'll be doing a lil diorama for it. But for now, I'm only promising the craft itself.

Yeah, but you can do less than you have stated.
I've stated I'm doing the craft and then the diorama if I have time. I've already added it. It just might not happen =P
Like I was told to still add the Hawk wreck even though I didn't get to finish it.

All right! Bit of an update here.
I must confess that I did this model (not this exact one, but the same kit) some time ago. I believe I was 12 at the time. Put it together with tube glue, painted it with testor's enamel and one of those nylon brushes where the handle was pointed more than the brush! But I digress!

I remembered from that model that I wasn't happy with the way the jail cell "bars" came out. They are molded into the plastic of the base and there's no way to make them come out right after painting.

Image
That's the bars. These things. Right where I'm pointing.

So a few minutes work with a jeweler's saw and an xacto knife, and the bars have been removed!

Image

So now I need to scratchbuild a set of bars, trying to make it look like a cell door. Otherwise the prisoner will be free to escape! Well, he would be free to escape if he hadn't been reduced to bones thanks to the prison rations he was given!

Image

So now it's on to priming and painting. Should be able to make the deadline this month! :eusa_think
