Hello and Welcome to the May Painting Challenge!

Congratulations once again to last month's winner Dal Ok Thrund. As last month's winner he has chosen this month's theme, which is : 'Engineering'

Entries will consist a single dwarf on a 20mm-40mm base or a war machine. Seeing as the theme is engineering I'll allow larger bases to encourage mini dioramas. Crazy conversions are welcome but absolutely NOT necessary....this is primarily a painting contest. Have fun with it...lets see some great entries.
Rules:

1.) Start with an unpainted, and un-based model (a start on a base is
fine, like sand). Please post a "before" pic with your model. PLEASE
INCLUDE THIS PHOTO

2.) 1 entry per member

3.) A complete entry consists of four pictures: one must be a "before"
photo (just bare metal or basecoat) and Three of the finished product.

4.)Pictures are to be taken on a white/pale blue background, or any non
distracting background. This can be, say a terrain hill/forest/whatever,
but no army display boards.

5.) The organizers of the competition have the right to refuse entry to any applicant if they feel it doesn't meet the criteria.

6.) The thread will be locked after the deadline, no more posts!

7.)This is a community event and like all hobbies is designed to be fun,
so enjoy yourself, keep us posted, and good luck! Also when talking
about another contestants entry...BE NICE...this is a friendly
supportive event.

8.) Submitted figures must have completed bases as well as paint jobs.

Voting Mechanics:

Do not post anything besides your entry pictures in this thread, all
other posts will be deleted. If there are incomplete entries at the time
the thread is locked (ie someone reserves a spot with a before picture
but never posts finished pictures) they will be deleted to streamline
voting.

After the deadline, I will open a separate voting thread (so keep your
eyes open!). Vote there....you will have three votes, a 1st, 2nd and 3rd
place. Points will then be allocated as follows: 1st place model 3 points, 2nd place 2 points,
and so on. This helps to have the votes flowing around, and reduces the
chances of a tie.

If you have a question, PM me, or another Mod right away. I WILL help, so don't be afraid to enter the contest!

If you manage to pull off a WIN, you may choose the next model to be painted.

Deadline is Sunday May 24th 1100 GMT).

The contest is OPEN
