Twitter based painting challenge: #TheBoxOpens

[Clousseau]

I've also entered the Wyrd Place competition - but with a different model (Rattlespine Rattler in fact). I must be mad.

I'm holding off on entering anything until I get my den sorted out. Need to clear out the old to make room for the new. Not that I'm expecting to place, but starting a painting blog and / or entering contests could at least help with the motivation front.

But I do enjoy following these contests and seeing how creative folks can be.

I'm hoping to have the box set completed tomorrow

So one week in and myself and Mr. Joel Henry have finished (and expanded!) our crews.

We have also both been taking part in Ben (@psientologist) from the Malibros Podcast's single model twitter painting contest #MFXTOP and so Joel has added an Executioner to his crew and I have added Killjoy to mine

(check it out http://malibros.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/mfxtop-january-week-1.html?m=1)

Here's the pics;

Think you'll agree the crew looks fantastic and thanks for entering Joel!

Final entries

So here are the first lot of finished crews up for voting. I will wait until the 7th of February to count votes and will update this thread with any further pictures I receive. Remember there's a crew box up for grabs here!

First up; my very own Nicodem crew! Seems like. An age ago, I'd finished these a month ago today!

Next we have Mark Wright with his very bright and original Tara Crew;

Another Tara Crew Here, this time Matt Evans, and not so bright! Not sure how I feel about these models entering a painting challenge but I'll I with it!

Another early bird, and very nice crew too, from Mr. Joel Henry comes the sonnia boxes set;

David Brown or Clousseau to many of you sent me his very nice Nicodem crew, has gone above and beyond the boxes set with extra models. Good show!

Please get your final pictures sent in using the hashtag #theboxcloses this week if you wish to participate and have not been included in this post!

Thanks for those of you who have entered and special congrats and thanks to those who finished

This can be done by sending me a private message either in these forums (forestreverie) or on twitter (@aaronbailey17).

Thanks to all for taking part, it's been great to follow and feel I've encouraged and motivated you guys to produce some frankly outstanding work. Every entry has been to a very high standard and you can all be very proud of your crews, complete or not.
