Well sorry for not getting this done sooner, but I have had a busy December so far so I hope you let it go! As a result, and because of the busy Christmas/New Year time, I'm spreading this competition between December and January to give everyone more time to get entries in! November's edition saw petethomas win again, with his excellent Ork Stormboy model! See the entries from last month here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/414309.page. And if you'd like to congratulate the winner of November's edition, here's the thread: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/415960.page.

Anyone do better? Get your entries in people!

Entries need to be PM'd to me by January 28th, 11pm (EST) with the prefix “[MotM]”. Example: [MotM] Eldar Farseer.

UK users -> 28th by 3am.
PST users -> 27th by 8pm.
German users -> 28th by 4am.
Japanese users -> 28th by 12 noon.

You can use any miniatures you want for this - they don't need to be new. However, they must be your own work!

There is NO THEME for this competition - so enter absolutely anything you want!

Good luck!


Here's the quick "How To" on mini photography:
Miniatures should be placed against a pale/muted background (preferably white paper, or a sheet, or even in a light box if you have one), with natural lighting. Use the "macro" function on your camera (usually a little flower) and take a shot of the whole thing. If you need to make the picture massive to get the quality of the shot perfect, then crop it in Photoshop, Paint or any other suitable editing software, and then post it. There are no rules on how you may pose your miniature, but as face-on as possible is preferable.
