Hi everyone,
I'd like to announce and challenge any member of the forum to a paint off.
Anyone can enter as long as they have the same miniature to paint. Once the challenge has been taken up a date will be set to finish by usually no longer than a week or two, and all pics must be in by then, or be excluded.
Scenic bases are allowed but no conversions. If you don't have the mini and want to be part then go buy it people!!!
Once the pics are all in a public vote will be set up, and all the minis will be anonymous, so no one knows who's is who's, you are voting for the one you like best.
So there you are people, REMEMBER it's all for fun!!!!
Oh, anyone can laydown a challenge, plus choose what mini to paint, as long as it's kept in this thread, and anyone can choose to take the challenge up, the more the better it is.

im not keen on this mini and so will not take part this time, but i just thought it would be usefull to supply the mini info for anyone who wants to take part but does not own the mini and wants to buy it, ie, manufacturer and a website were it can be bought?

Well that's me and TIm so far, hope a couple more join in to make it more fun.
André, why not set a challenge up in the future, when you have a little more time, and we'll try to match whatever mini you pick?

Well these things sort of take time, to get over the Irish Sea for some reason. Also I'm off on my holidays next week for two weeks so it might be mid-September before I can started.
So you guys have two choices, do this round without me, or wait until I can start. Either way I don't mind too much, as I've still got three sweet scrunt mini's!

A series of nerve endings send electrical impulses to my brain which are translated into the sensation of touch

EEEEeeeee I wondered what that tingling sensation at the end of my fingers was. Thanks for that mate!! Shall we wait for CC's Scrunts to arrive or do you want a womping without him? Cheeky!

I think I can wait for my womping. (I thought that was a creature in Star Wars oh no that was a Wompa)

Sounds like a plan.
Hows the birthday going?

Post by Tim C on Aug 23, 2007 20:14:35 GMT
The birthday went very well, as for waiting well I got a bit impatient and did make a bit of a start today.

Post by bruenor on Aug 24, 2007 7:43:57 GMT
I think we should make tomorrow the 25/8/07 the starting date, and they should be finished and pics/links, mailed or PM'd to me by 8/9/07.
That way once CC picks his up he'll still have plenty of time to kick our backsides with his!!
Hmmm just checked my message posting thingys, and I can't find how to make a public poll, so you may have to have the pics Tim and set that up if it's a Admin only feature. Ok with you?
