Trash Bash 2012 Rules Now Up!

[dampfpanzerwagon]

I intend entering this competition. The main construction is nearly complete and the painting should begin within the next couple of days. The base for my particular entry is a pair of Juicy Drop Pops.

The vessels name;
The Louis Daguerre, a French Observation and Surveying Aeronef, currently situated on Le Mons, Mars.

I will keep construction and painting posts until after the competition as I believe that this adds to the intrigue.

Good luck to all taking part.

How did everybody get on? I managed to finish it last night and rush together some photos. I'm not entirely happy with the way the pictures came out!! I think I'll need to invest in some sort of lighting/photography rig!

I'm really looking forward to all the entries!

Sent mine in yesterday -- like anything done to a deadline, there are a few things I would probably have done differently/better if I'd had more time, but on the other hand if there hadn't been a deadline I might not have done it at all, you know? I definitely had a great time making the piece.

In one of those little bits of innovation that happen when you're trying a project like this, I came up with a technique for turning scrap material from my work into terrain as a sort of side effect of the main thing I was building; I'm now going to use it on half a dozen or so new buildings. I'm quite pleased by that!

Many thanks to Brian for running the contest, and I'm really excited to see everyone's work!

Got mine in yesterday too. I even bought a photo set up with lights and a photo box but still can't take a great picture.

[dampfpanzerwagon]

I'm in and in a change from the usual mad-rush. I got mine in early.

Can't wait to see the other entries.

Rushing my painting as I type this. And you have no idea how difficult it is to apply a wash, over still drying superglue, whilst typing a reply about it on an internet forum...  

Seriously; I might have to take tomorrow afternoon off form work to get my entry finished before the deadline. Not to mention the photo work. But I'll be darned if I let off now, so close to the finish line!

Oh; and don't cross your fingers when they're covered in superglue. Trust me...

**EDIT** The deadline is ON March 1st, right? If not, I'm royally screwed...

[bandit86]

Go Daeothar Go!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Roebeast45]

I'll be accepting them until 11:59pm on March 1 so you've still got time.

Good luck!

[Daeothar]

Yay! Now to prematurely escape the shackles of corporate slavery for the day...

[Roebeast45]

And it's OVAH! Thanks to all of the great entrants of Trash Bash 2012. I am amazed at the skill, craft, and inspiration that these folks put into their entries and I can't wait to show them to you all.

I am currently compiling the entries and will be giving them to the judges. Results will be posted on March 12.

(Seriously, you all are going to be knocked out by how great these are. )

[Andym]

Oooooohhhhh I can't wait!!

Any info on how many entries you got?

[Daeothar]

Whew; in the nick of time...

I am really chuffed with my result; regardless of how my entry does, I now have a really cool addition to my collection of gaming pieces.

Also; I can't wait to see what everyone else came up with; I'm sure the entries will be quite diverse.

Roebeast: can you tell us how many entries have been received?

And when can we start showcasing our entries? After the jury's decision has been made public I presume?

[SirAlban]

Results will be posted on March 12...I cant wait...

[Raxxus]

so are ppl open to show thier entries now?

[Roebeast45]

I received a total of nine entries. I'd like for people to wait until after the 12th to post them as I'm trying to keep the entries anonymous to the judges. This way they are judging them purely on what they see instead of a person's name.

It will be worth the wait!

The entries are very diverse and again I'm amazed at the level of skill they all show. Each entry will be an inspiration for other modelers.
