Today I based a Bolt Action tiger. I am beginning to think that all the models I enter into painting competitions need bases. Even a simple all black plinth is enough to make a model stand out more. I'm happy to at least have another entry for the NOVA Open capitol pallet.
I did a plinth for the first time last year, and I feel like it was really effective. Following your lead from Historicon, I hit Michael's for some craft wood plaques to paint black as a display stand. I think it's really effective.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic on the base - the scrub looks very realistic. It gives the model a context.
ReplyDeleteYou are just killing it with Palette entries! I have just one!!! I am going to challenge myself though, next year in 2017, I'm submitting one in the historical category. Gotta bring something american to the competition!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do. If we could fill up the historical category with so many entries that it takes a full case on its own, then I will be a happy camper!
DeleteQUICK! You have until Friday to paint a Renault!
Deletehmmm.....
DeleteJust caught up with your machine gunner, wow !
