Thread: Voting: WGS Bomber painting contest

  1. #1

    Default Voting: WGS Bomber painting contest

    It's been a few years since we have done a painting contest here on the site and I'm happy to say we had a lot of great entries!

    Below you will find all of the entries (in no particular order) into the WGS Bomber repaint contest. Some of the criteria you should look for when voting for your favorite 3 entries:

    • Smooth paint
    • Crisp lines between colors
    • Build quality (if it is a metal or resin kit)
    • Surface prep (if it is a Shapeways model)
    • The Devil is in the details, take time to look for the painted details
    • Unique subject, is it a pilot/plane that you have seen a lot of?


    I also suggest you note your top picks and come back after a while and view them again before voting.

    Good Luck everyone!

    That is definitely the hardest contest ever. Many entries, many super fine paintjobs.

    Nicely done for those I can see but 10 & 11 are not showing. Makes it a bit difficult to vote. I note that one or two others also had some pics not showing. I have tried leaving this post and viewing others, then coming back. I have even logged out completely and logged back in but no change.
    Would love to cast my votes but really would like to compare all before I do. Any thoughts Guys?

    Maybe you should change the browser, Reg. This usually helps.

    Makes me wonder if there is a University for Painting 1/200 Planes somewhere ... if yes, all contributors must have graduated there

    Not as difficult as the exceptional paint jobs of all entries, though.

    Is there any hope to see 10 & 11? I've tried Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, FireFox, and my phone.

    I still have problems with 10... It simply doesn't appear. Is it possible to create some temporary album at, for example, Herr Oberst's (or anybody's neutral) profile, so we all could see "missing links"?

  36. #36

    Default

    I am afraid entrants 10 and 11 are loosing their chances due to some technical problems, Herr Oberst. That may not be seen fair.

    The images for 10 and 11 should be fixed now. The reason they did not show up to some of you was because the members that submitted those entries did not follow the rules for uploading their images correctly They uploaded them to a Private album instead of a Profile album. A Private album only allows admin types and your Wingmen to see the images. A Profile album will hide the images from everyone, except for when the link to the image is posted (as in this thread).
