<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Pendraken Painting Competition 2015!"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/6.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Pendraken Painting Competition 2015!

Last year we had 214 excellent entries, once again pushing the standards of 10mm painting even higher! Last years winners can be seen here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,9615.0.html

The competition always runs throughout the month of February, so your can make your entries anytime between 1st February and midnight on Fri 28th Feb. There's still time to get your orders in if you need to make any last minute entries!

The rules are generally the same as last year, with the usual 7 categories, so there should be a suitable home for every entry! As with last year, each entry is allowed 2 images, except for the 'Open Army!' category, which is allowed up to 5 images. One major change for 2015 is that we are no longer allowing montage entries, just to make sure that everyone is on a level playing field.

Categories:

Foot - Pre-20th C. - Min: 3 / Max: 16 figures on a single base, and pre-1900.
Foot - 20th C. - Min: 3 / Max: 16 figures on a single base/movement tray.
Mounted - Min: 3 / Max: 10 figures on a single base/movement tray.
Vehicle - Single vehicle on or off base.
Fantasy & Sci-Fi - Anything Fantasy or Sci-Fi oriented, on a single base/movement tray.
Open - Single Base - Anything which doesn't fit into the other categories, with a max base size of 100x100mm. Includes single figures, artillery bases, command stands, etc.
Open - Army! - Armies, Units, Dungeons, whole table setups, anything!

We're hoping to have around £400 worth of prizes lined up, so we'll be announcing those soon, along with the details of our Judges as well!

Remember, the opening day for entries is 1st Feb, which gives you just enough time to get any figures ordered, grab your brushes and get busy! We've seen some great work displayed on our Forum over the past 12 months, so we're hoping to see some of it making an appearance in the Competition!

If there's any questions, let us know either here or over on our Forum: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php

I'm not super familiar with that scale, or what companies make models in that scale. Really appreciated! Thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/630230/7486618.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/630230/7486618.page GMT Pendraken Painting Competition 2015!

This looks really neat. Would you be willing to list some examples of companies that make models for each of the primary categories?

Thanks for the reply, the competition is only open to our own Pendraken products, but luckily there's 3500 to choose from! Our website is here: http://www.pendraken.co.uk/ (although there's a lack of pictures for quite a few ranges), and give me a shout if I can help with anything at all.
