So, it's been a while since I've updated this blog, but, lo and behold, here is an update! I painted this model for a blind vote painting contest so I didn't post it up here before now even though it's been finished for a few weeks. I managed to get second place in the contest which made me pretty happy. (Who am I kidding? I thought I deserved first! ;) )

Anyways, the premise of the contest was that people would submit models to be painted and contribute $5 per model to the prize pool. From that pile of models individual painters would then submit requests to the organizers for the model(s) they wanted to paint. Once the deadline came around all the models were posted on the website with a poll where visitors could vote for their two favorites. The top 3 painters then had the cash divided up amongst them. It was an interesting format, although I was rather disappointed in the administration of the contest. My big gripe was the picture quality. The set of pictures you see here is what I submitted to the contest, but when the organizer hosted them on ImageShack they became heavily pixelated like they were being viewed on a cruddy old computer monitor.

Now I'm on to paint a couple more Red Scorpions as I agreed to paint one for another gamer's army. Hopefully I'll have some updates to post more quickly this time.
