Oh, well... I guess I will have to sit this one out. I won't have time to finish my Gebirgsjäger.

HammerShield, as I understand it they dont have to be WW2. I havent painted WW2 for a good few years and couldnt face doing so either. I still have some Westwind Germans and Yanks sitting part painted but couldn`t rise to the occassion

The entries are getting better every time, great stuff and hard decisions. Sadly it seems to get a '5 Mini only'-contest. Maybe larger groups should get a bonus?

not sure, maybe, anyway now we will wait for the end of the current season.

[Poliorketes]

Sure, shouldn't change the rules during a season. But might be interesting for season 2.

[Lurch]

I always love if a new round starts with many new entries.

But I often remember old entries, and would love to watch them again.
I don't know if you other board members have stored the pictures by your own, I have not.

What do you think about a thread where we could see all the entries of each participant up to now.

Sorry Prof, I know it would be quite some work.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Actually I'm planning a league gallery with all the entries in. Will come end of the season :-)

[Neldoreth]

Just wanted to say that I am really enjoying the quality and presentation of the stuff that I am seeing in this event. Pretty snazzy guys, keep those wonderful pictures coming!

>All picture entries must be sent to forum@backofbeyond.de and must meet a previously-specified deadline, namely the end of the previous round. A picture must meet a maximum resolution of 800x800 pixels.

My software does not allow me to choose image size in pixels.  What is that in inches?

800 pixel =11,111 inch

[former user]

well, thank you for the warm welcome

so, some questions about the entries:

do they have to be "new", meaning unpublished before?
how do you count for vehicles? by size?
what if scenery belongs to the theme- eg an ammunition stack for a cannon an crew?
how about cavalry models? they sure take more time to paint

now some personal remarks:
I voted for round seven, and it seems that users rather comment only positevely
is negative criticism not allowed? or simply bad manners?
discussing the painting technique/style can be instructive, but also taken badly by contestorcould I have some instructions please, before I commit a faux pas?

[Vonkluge]

Criticism is allowed but since this is a friendly place I guess “harsh” criticism would not be looked on well. Constructive criticism is really the best since any criticism is only YOUR opinion. I paint mostly “Historical” type armies and as such have a subdued style that is built for speed; others are bright single figure fantasy painters. There are many different styles and ability levels and people post here to show off their efforts not get “flamed”.
