------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfinished entries may NOT be entered , as by definition a tutorial is completed. It’s only fair , you didn't finish it !

New Tutorials only please. Tutorials that are in the Tutorial Section already are disqualified from entry. But if you have a similar method or topic, you may post that. (Caveat to this: There were two entries from a previous contest that have already been accepted.)

No Picture limit to the tutorials, but the more the better.

Admins and Moderators may enter , but WILL NOT BE eligible to gain lasguns. Admins and Mods will still gain the entry ribbon. Admins and Mods will be elligible for the 10% off bits.

All entries will automatically be entered into the The Tutorial Section

Any entries that break the above rules will automatically be disqualified.

When we get closer to the end date , I'll start an "Entry only" topic , with links to the topics for voting and viewing.

The objective of this competition is to enhance our own modeling and panting knowledge, and to help stimulate a neglected area of our forums.

Good luck

How is everyone proceeding with their tutorial entries?

So far we have previous entries from Major Speirs (Painting Camouflage), Captain Mike (Stripping and Repainting Catachans!), and from me (Making Purity Seals from Real Wax)

I will also accept the tutorial entries from Tebrey and MadBob, unless they have other ideas in mind. PM me if you have a previous tutorial entry already posted and wish to enter that.


REMEMBER, 10% off bits from Imperial Armory for participating in this contest!

So far we have 5 entries in our contest, but I'd like to see more.

Lets see what you have! Post to the Tutorial Section, and PM me to let me know, so I may approve to post.

Also, Remember our sponser, IMPERIAL ARMORY!, who is offering 10% bits for contests entries. That's HUGE.

Now we have SEVEN entries into our contest... please feel free to enter, we have some fantastic looking stuff!

The Tutorial section of the board is now open to comments and posting, FYI

I just got confirmation that my models have been posted , so i'll be able to get my tutorial in.

It'll be close to the deadline , but that's half the fun.

Ed.

TWO WEEKS until this contest is closed. We still have time to get more entries in...

Who will step forth?

Will there be links to the threads on the poll page, out of interest?

HALP! Wasn't going to enter this, but I had an awesome brainwave this afternoon and have been testing it since. Not knowing how it would work out, I didn't take photographs or anything. Would it be possible to write and submit my tutorial tomorrow?

Oh , i agree , i thought the deadline was Monday.

Pants !

Ed.

If you can get it in before midnight, August 12th I will accept your entry

~ Pax

There will indeed, Captain. I will post on Monday evening.

...which timezone? It's 2PM over here (GMT), and it'll be 4-6 hours before the AA batteries I need for my camera finish recharging.
