The scales are set, #Ourmada Crew, for the April Painting Competition. And we cant wait to see what you come up with for Armorback, our dinoman model selected for Easter Month painting competition.
Sign ups start today. Entry is $2 + the price of the model ($4.49). Models are due on April 28th.
Getting in on this competition is super easy. Just stop by the store, pick up your figure, and pay $2 to sign up. Then you paint up your figure however you wish and bring the finished figure back to the store by April 28th. Judging will take place from April 28th to 30th. Figures can be picked up from the store after April 30th.
Pictures of all submitted models will be posted to our Facebook Page on April 29th.
Michael & Aaron will be the final arbiters!
1) Can I purchase multiple figures for testing?
Absolutely you can. However, you can only submit a single figure
2) Is modification of the figures allowed?
Absolutely. These are your figures, go wild if you wish, but don't get so elaborate that you cannot finish the figure in time. Only the figure will be judged.
3) Are there prizes?
Yes there are. 100% of the entry fee and a portion of the model price will be split up among the finalists, as decided by Michael and Aaron. Generally we split the pool evenly among the top 3rd of the models submitted.
4) I want to show off my figure early, where can I post pictures
Join us over on our Discord Channel and post pictures in the Monthly Painting Competition.
5) Can I modify the figure or add elements to it?
Let's take a page from Bob Ross, "It's your model, you're the creator." Base it, modify it, customize it however you wish. You do not have to customize the model and not modifying it will not disqualify your figure from top standings.
6) Will there be more of these?
That is the plan. We may skip months occasionally, but plan to have painting competitions frequently.
7) I am not good at painting, should I participate?
Painting is a hobby and an acquired skill. The more you paint, the better you will become. If you would like constructive feedback on your figure, please just ask. We would be happy to assist you!
8) I want help pulling off an effect or technique. How can I get tips?
Join us on our Discord Channel and we would be happy to help.
9) A Dinosaur? For Easter?
We are happy you asked, and didn't jump to conclusions about our model selection. We had to set the scales for judging this month and picked a hopping good figure for painting. Also, Dinosaurs laid eggs.
