Come on James. You can do it! We believe in you daddy

(Unless you're over with the in-laws again, which admittedly would make finishing your project a tad difficult...

)

Curse you Witchhunter! I just stopped fiddling with converting some Co C Model Ts (beer truck, tanker and AA gun platform) and got back to painting after a 6 month hiatus. Now Brent tells me about this?! Son of a...

I guess I'm going to have to start now on the project I had planned to put off until early next year. Arrrggh! A pox on those people who cater to my easy failing to be distracted by other cool things!

I read the contest rules again and came to this:
"WIPS only please, no completed items until after the contest has ended"
Hhm, what exactly does that mean? Last photo just before ending construction? Or before painting? Or including painting, but before decals?

Apologies for the delayed reply. I was away for the past week.

Ideally, no photos of the completely finished item in the WIP thread. Purely so that there is (hopefully) some wow factor when the first round of voting commences.

However, I do realise that a comprehensive WIP thread benefits from showing every stage, not least so that we can all attempt to have a go too! A major part of the contest is to see how members go about construction of a project. I'm happy that this be considered a guideline rather than a hard & fast rule.

OK, I'm in...
I don't know if I can finish it in time, but I'll do my best!

Thanks for the clarification.

My project consists of a fair number of individual pieces and I'd starting showing WIP painted shots. I'd overlooked that this might be a rule breach so am pleased (I think) to now be in the clear. For the final entry I'll do images of all of the items, painted and combined together.

I may have missed a clarification here, but since it is a 'Build Something' contest I felt I should ask:

Does the final entry need to be painted? It would obviously be more appealing that way bit on the other hand it will be harder to see how it is constructed.

Don't start that again, there's about three pages of this thread arguing over that point.

The end decision was that the final piece should be finished completely and therefore painted as well. So one of your two final pics should be of the totally finished piece. The other picture, which can also be a composite, should be of the wip to show the build. (I think that's right anyway).

OK, sorry. Six pages of posts gets a bit overwhelming. If Paul reads this: I think Alex and Richard usually have gone back and updated the original post.

Pictures sent (phwhoo).
