It's hard to believe, but Man Battlestations (the naval gaming forum and blog I started) has been online for almost a year already! To celebrate, I've decided to host a naval miniature painting contest. Any naval miniature, from any game system, is eligible for submission. First prize is a $50 gift certificate to The War Store. The deadline for all submissions is 15 April 2013, so get painting! The sub-forum for the contest can be found here:

I really hope you guys decide to participate!

Just a reminder, this contest is still open! There are still two weeks to submit an entry. The entry does not have to be something specially painted for the contest, BTW.
