OK, it’s been 5 days my my watch, time to call the winners!

In third with 28 votes, Modock with an amazing Streloks Duo...Boarding Shotgun and Marksman Rifle.


Squeaking by with one more vote, QAR’s excellent chaos havoc.


And taking first with a healthy margin, DV8 and a motley collections of Agents of the Imperium


This has been an amazing round everyone, with top notch work from everybody. Everyone is doing amazing work every month and the standard is getting higher and higher. Keep pushing yourself to top the last month, and work on getting your July entry finished; it’s almost time to start on August! Remember, as long as you post a proof picture and paint it all in the month, it’s never to later to enter.

See you all in the next month!

Thanks for the feedback, Feltmonkey. It's rare to get it!

I think you're right, the bases would look more natural if the sand was on a more similar color. I think I could switch to that without making my army look un-unified. I'll give it a try on my next miniature.

What a month...thanks guys for the votes and comments ( sockwithaticket, CancelledApocalypse, feltmonkey).
Congrats to queen_annes_revenge and DV8, well deserved top spots. Also well done everybody who finished their entries.

The everage quality was insane this month and I was fond of many entries, which are the following:

Nevelon
queen_annes_revenge
Viterbi
JamesY
sockwithaticket
Chris56
Ezki
maxwin
Midget Gems
Jadenim
Feltmonkey

and

DV8 which is my favourite entry.


Thanks again guys and thanks to Nevelon, see you next month.

Thanks for the feedback Feltmonkey and Modock; good luck with the next round everyone (I might even manage to make it two in a row for the first time in a while!)

Congratulations to the winners, well deserved.

Thanks again for the kind words and votes for my entry, much appreciated.

Well done Modock, QAR and DV8, worthy winners, as always!

Excellent round for everyone and congratulations to the winners.

Special thanks to Nevelon for running this month.

Sincerely,

CB

It may be too late too make a damn bit of difference, but I finally got the full unit of zebras finished;



Never again...

And gorgeous they are too.

@JamesY: Definitely worth whatever effort it took.

Cheers both

Seeing those guys, the old idiom “When you hear hoofbeats, you expect horses, not zebras” crossed my mind. Followed buy “Someone is going to be in for a surprise”

Cheers for all the votes and support! I always think everyone who gets something done for this challenge is a winner in my books, but I stick to the top 3 for a classic podium finish (although I don't often pick the bronze, silver, gold). There's always something to love about every entry.

My picks for this month, in no particular order:

Modock - Streloks Duo
What can I say. Clean work, and I'm just more in awe of your photography. I struggle to get my photos looking as crisp as the models do in real life.

feltmonkey - Greedo
Love the bright colors, and I'm fan of the Wars though #biase (although I really do love your rendition!)

QAR - Havoc
I love just how clean and crisp this model is, and despite how much is going on with the base, it doesn't fight too much with the model. The blue definitely helps it stand out. If I had to make two critiques though. The red barrels draw a LOT of attention (if that's intentional, great; personally I would focus on torso and head). And the gold NMM is all too similar to the base in tone so it kind of gets a little lost near the weapon and feet, but thankfully the blue helps to fight back.

No one expects the spani... errr, zebras

Thanks! So I did the barrels that way to create the effect of them overheating, to evoke the feel of him unloading hell for leather, and to tie in with the facial expression. I initially had a stream of empty cases coming from the ejection port but I removed these as they didn't look like the shells in the belt.

Thanks DV8, ironicly I always wondered how you take you photos, cause I think they excellent. I guess the grass is greener on the other side...

Photos are definitely my weak point. I just use my phone camera and a gsw light box.
