Post by: artshiraz on May 04, 2007, 07:23:55 PM: I know I wont enter (Didn't even know about it). In fact I stopped entering competitions a bit over a year ago. It sure has improved diminishing the amount of unpainted goodies.

Good luck to you (both :mrgreen: )

Post by: Plynkes on May 05, 2007, 12:08:32 AM: Yes, you're a Japanese Light Cruiser mentioned in my latest battle report, too (which is very nearly ready, I'm just too lazy to finish it).
Title: Alpha Forge Painting Competition
Post by: matakishi on May 05, 2007, 01:12:10 AM: Thank goodness I'm a light cruiser. I could get a complex if I was a heavy.

Post by: supervike on May 05, 2007, 03:02:19 AM: Thats great Professor!

Alpha Forge has some fantastic stuff and just needs a bit more exposure, can't wait to see what you come up with!!

The man paints 8000 minis a week, and you think he has time for a tutorial?

I'll agree that it would be nice, but I'll never get into the blood sacrifice or whatever it is you do to paint so quickly at such a consistently high level.

@supervike- why don't you do a tutorial, Mr. Contest Winner? Your skills are nothing to :lol: at, and have been getting better and better every time we see a new post from you.
