@ Snrub : leave it for two days, do something else. Then come back to your guardsman. Do you like him ? If not, then you might have to rework him a bit.

Yeah Minus that's a good idea. I've been making little touch ups on and adjusting things and I'm afraid I'll just over do it. I tried out some OSL on it and now I'm not sure if I'm happy with it.

I'll leave it a day or two and come back to it.

Show us!!!!!

NEIN!!

v_v

I think my guardsman is lost to the warp (well the xmas post anyway).

Anyone got a spare?

I posted that before christmas didn't I. Sorry you should have shouted, I can try again, You might have to model a knife on is all.

Do you really think anyone here will pick the same color scheme ?

Well. Maybe Nerdfest could pick the same colors...

It's Pink isn't it Minus? Mardi gras style Guardsman! ...or Puce! I was totally thinking puce!

Usually it's only my panties.... and that's only if i can pinch them off someone's clothesline!

Well, on the french boards, they are surprised when there is no purple on one of my miniatures, so... yeah, maybe I'm predictable.

But most of all, Nerdfest and I (and you) have very refined tastes and know what's beautiful.



Oh, and I finished painting my Cadian. Question is : should I add weathering on the armor plates ? Or should I keep all that pink immaculate ?

Up to you sir. Depends on whether weathering adds to or diminishes the overall.

That's the problem... I don't know if this would add value to the paintjob.
I'll apply the advice I gave to Snrub on my own model.


Btw, are there recommendations regarding the photos ? Like max/min size, number of views etc. ?

The better the photos the easier it will be to judge id imagine. That of course goes for everyones entry

also:

THE DEADLINE IS OFFICIALLY MOVED TO FEB 7TH! Ive had NUMEROUS requests for a little bit of extra time and i cannot stress enough, that this is not a race! Id much rather have you guys be content with your entry than feel rushed!!!

Hey fellas! So I did some freehand on the shoulders because I felt it was necessary. So here are my final pictures
These below are my FINAL images.

Thanks for the opportunity,
LDP

Aww look. Lips is trying to out do me on the free hand.






Bring it.

You're mini pressured me into doing it

Ah, see... and THIS is why I've been dragging my heels. Now I can withdraw gracefully and no one will thing twice about it.

Ah isn't passive peer pressure the best?


Your man looks great though Lips. So neat and crisp. The camo rocks and the face is just beautiful.

Gits you've no excuse!

Weety: PM me your address for which i can then send models to you please.

Wasn't it a race ?
(well, for once I'm not late... )


Here's my entry, then. Didn't decide if I'll add weathering yet.
I'll update this if I do.

Jeeeesus. That thing is gaudy Minus.

Great colour combo though. That purple and pink. Love the free hand skull too! That rocks.

I love it!

Dammit man! look at these latest entries will ya! LDP has bought the crispest of camo and a great scheme to boot! and Minus has out pinked me with a superb mini! what the hell am I going to do to even come close now!? I really need to find something cool! :-) I do love some challenging paint related encouragement!

Damn Minus!...That's really impressive work!

dam minus... thats awesome... totally feeling mine is inadequate...

Looking good Minus.

About the weathering... I think he looks good, as is, honestly. Good stuff

Argh!
I left my entry for a few days to see what I could do to improve it and I see Lips' and Minus' entries! Seriously thinking of doing two entries now!
Great work by the way guys!

Nerdie, Just hold out until your bits arrive!!

No inadequecies allowed. You all are a talented bunch Alot of fersh entries have pmed me. This is turning into a bigger comp than i imagined!

Count me in! Fortunately it's a cold day here in Florida so I can spend the day indoors getting some paint done.
