    For all those people who were so very obviously looking forward to seeing an NexS creation, I'm very sorry to disappoint. I've found out a warmachine tournament i'm going to requires painted models... so i'm going into hiding for a month

    Alright, I've started. I've got weird ideas and I don't think this is going to end well.

    So enter one of your warmachine guys in the other category. They are one of the sponsors, so it shouldn't be an issue.

    When you start a conversation with @Contest Entry just choose the upload file button.

    Kinda on the same subject (and apologies if I missed this somewhere in the thread already), do I send in the initial shot with the sign and a wip, then send in the final shots once it's all done, or do I submit it all at once?

    Do it all at once, just make sure you have a copy of each photo and don't accidently wipe them.

    Regarding this, somethibg came to my mind.

    Lets say you want to highlight some of the details in your model, however you dont want to devote one of your precious "picture slots" to that single detail, so you decide to do a collage that contains 6 pictures.

    My question is... Would that count as a single picture or would that be 6?

    I've been thinking about this too because my conversion has lots of little bits going on It'll be hard showing it all in the 6 I think or maybe it wont be - my picture taking isn't great on the wips either - I'm just taking pictures of every step incase :p

    The reason for the "non-painted" rule on conversions is due to we need to be able to see the changes that has been done, and the best way to do that is to have the pictures before it is painted.

    In regards to your case if it is the base that is painted, it should be ok. Feel free to enter with the model you had in mind.

    As others have mentioned, you should defiantly enter :)

    That is a good question, I think that we can allow this to count as one picture, though keep in mind that the image rules still apply to this one as well.

    Note. Final decision will be made when we review the entry after receiving it, it is possible we can say no, if we feel this give you an unfair advantage over the other entries. In this case we will let you know, allowing you to submit a new picture.

    My photo skills are shocking, my conversion is done but the pics don't show all the work but once you view the final model it is quite evident that it is heavily converted.

    Mine is also done! ... But my pictures are not that great either! Basically because I forgot to take them before I started painting it for the other competition :eek: hahahha

    Mine is definatelly converted! However the conversion is kind of subtle! Hopfully you guys will like it!

    Although there is still almost half way to go and a lot of painting to do before the end I cant wait to see what everybody came up with

    People often don't notice that my chakax and oldblood were converted. To me, a good conversion is one people don't realise is one
