Competition update

So, my Maggoth Lord that I entered for the painting competition got its results. I got 24/27. I got marked down for not filling in the gap under the seat, no extreme highlights and not having executed the advanced techniques well. The main thing to take away from this is that I now have a check list with which to use for my next entry.

On the plus side 24/27 was the second highest score and I won the 'Adult Monster' category which means I won this piece of concept art. Space Marines aren't really my thing but Im happy to have won something. I'll keep it and hopefully add to it in the future.

Maggoth Lord - Competition entry

I managed to get the Maggoth Lord painted in time to submit to he painting competition. I was unable to do the waterfall effects that I wanted to do because I live in New Zealand meaning 5 weeks is not enough time to source such an obscure product. I should be getting some later this week so I will have to do the waterfall once I get the model back from the shop.

Update

It's been a while since I last updated because I was busy moving house. However, now that the dust has settled I should hopefully find more time for painting. I also now have a better dedicated painting area with improved lighting so I can paint in the evenings after work.

I recently went to buy some more paints and was handed this flyer for a painting competition and am seriously considering entering my Maggoth Lord model. This will mean adding all the finishing touches and building / completing the base within one month (the last hand in date is exactly a month today). I am hoping that this will give me some motivation to finish my first large model.
