Hey everyone, please note THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL VOTING THREAD.

This is just a collection of all the tutorial threads posted in the month of May that I believe are eligible for voting. I just want to make sure I haven't missed anyone who thinks they were eligible or I've included anyone who knows that their tutorial is not actually eligible.

The full list of eligibility rules can be found by clicking here.


But in short, if you don't see your tutorial listed below it is because:

A) It wasn't posted in the tutorials forum during the month of May.
B) It doesn't contain pictures hosted here on Dakka.
C) It contains material that is posted elsewhere on the internet already.


If you think your tutorial thread has been wrongly left off the list, PLEASE POST IN THIS THREAD ASAP. Conversely, if you spot a tutorial on the list which you know to be ineligible (for one of the above reasons), then again, please let me know ASAP by posting in this thread about it.


I'll leave this thread open a couple of days to make sure any last second issues don't come to light and then I'll get the actual voting thread posted up later this week.

Thanks for your patience and a big hand goes out to all the people who took the time to post a tutorial.

46 entries?

Holy crap!

Lol, turned out nicely

That's a lot of entries.

do we get too vote ?

when voting start coz bets need to be placed on winner

my carnifex tutorial is unfinished, although the rest of it is only repetition of doing what i have already demonstrated, i do intend on finishing it at some point but will hold off until after the contest because obviously it wouldn't have been done during may.

If you want to remove it from the contest due to it being unfinished i won't be offended if your struggling to get numbers down, 46 is alot of entries!

Blimey. When does the voting begin?

Good to see the other users here posted so much of their wargamming/painting and modeling knowledge.Thanks to you guys on Dakka from me Deff(for what it's worth,which is a bucket of KFC and a cola of you're choice,lol).

Yeh good point, can entrants vote? (not on their own stuff I mean)

Yakface said in the "get your teach on " thread that voting will begin sometime in the middle of this week.(If I recall correctly.)

Ah, fair enough. Thanks.

46?

Rockin' response guys!

Now if we could only get that kind of turnout EVERY month in the tutorial section

Good job everyone!

Yes Thank you for all the entries! I'm glad this turned out as well as it did. And who knows, maybe I have more money throw in in the near future when an idea hits Good Luck to all!

Im not sure about the rest of the people here, but I intend to continue doing tutorials, and posting scratch building patterns and such.

I am having a blast with it...and I am still working on finishing off my tutorial.

Plus I have enjoyed alot of the really cool tutorials here as well.

i fully intend to finish my carnifex tutorial, and may do a few more as and when i learn new tricks it's quite handy to do a tutorial as i think it helps you plan out what your trying to acheive, perhaps making your finished model that little bit better than it would have been if you just went headlong into it with snips and glue!

Okay...it is the middle of the week, and I am kind of wondering how the voting is going to go.

It is going to be on this thread, or one strickly for the vote, is it open to all, and how long the actually window for accepting votes will be.

Is there any clearification on this?

I too fully intend to do more painting guides, and would have done them sooner, but I just got hit with 3 big commissions

The sticky thread is now up at the top of this forum to vote on. The voting will last roughly 4 days at which point the top 5 vote getters will become finalists to be judged by a panel of judges.


Others had asked if you could vote for your own tutorials, and the answer is yes. You can vote for any and all entries you like.


Good luck everyone!
