Some nice looking entry's for this month, well done everyone

I didn't do as well as I'd hoped with mine, I lacked some motivation despite it being a conversion I've really wanted to do for ages so its not 100% fully painted to the standard I would like but I'm still happy I did it and I think it looks quite cool overall so there is that Also bought myself a light box to try out with the photos.

Sorry Nev, sorry everyone, but can I have one more day? Had a really rubbish day today and wasn't able to get nearly as much as I'd hoped done.

Sure, we can go the whole weekend and an extra day.

Get cracking everyone! Let’s get these entries done!

Thanks Nev, I'll try to be finished tomorrow, I'm not too far away. I just don't want to break my streak of entering every month this year, especially after spending so much time on my entry (even though it's not that great this month...)

Sliding in just under the wire, I've got my entry finished, albeit a bit rushed at the end. Here are the final pics of my Dark Angels Stormraven Gunship:



I'm happy with it overall. It was sort of a rescue model, as the person I bought it from probably didn't take good care of it or assembled it poorly (or maybe it was whoever had it before him?), hence some of the rough-looking areas like the wing joins. Still, I did enjoy painting it, and it'll fit right in with my army. The damn thing's almost too big for my lightbox though, so excuse the visible walls in the first couple of images. Looking forward to the votes (not that I'll get many myself), as there are a lot of great entries this month.

Just finished, here's a proof pic in lieu of entry pics tomorrow. I need to go to bed...

Now this is Pod Racing!

Here's my final entry pics:

Far from my best work, but it's the first tank I've ever painted (fully) so there's that.

Good luck everyone!

"Far from my best work" he says, under the prettiest black tank I've ever seen.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss something by looking in the wrong place, all of the entries are being combined into a separate thread, correct? I'm super excited to vote, there's a lot of amazing pieces in here!

Yup. Once the month is over and the entries are in I’ll combine all the entries into a vote thread. This is about and hour and a half to two hours of copy/paste and doublechecking so might not be instantaneous. I try to get it done after work, but sometimes it gets pushed to the next weekend. Yesterday I opted for a couple beers and a Godzilla movie instead of more time sitting at a computer. Mondays are like that sometimes.

Planning on doing it tonight after grocery shopping, but we’ll see what the day brings.

Oof, thanks for the compliment, but I can't believe that! ^_^' Maybe I'm being hard on myself, but having been up close to all that edge highlighting for so effin' long, it's difficult not to see all the many flaws...

We are our own worst critics. We see all the flaws, all the things we know we could have done better. Mistakes made and corrected as well as we could.

Everyone else just sees the beautiful results that we blind ourselves to.

Well how dare you take time for yourself!

But seriously, sounds good! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing it somewhere!

And up!
