This is by far our participated in painting contest to date with 27 entries! Everyone should be very proud of the entries they made as they are all good. I hope everyone enjoyed painting the D.VIIs and gets even more enjoyment out of seeing one of their own creations out there flying on the table!
Now comes the hard part for the community, picking just three winners!
Criteria you should look for when voting for your favorite entry:
- Smooth paint
- 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 suggest you note your top picks and come back after a while and view them again before voting.
Good Luck everyone!
