    Default Two to tango repaint contest

    We had some really good entries in the last repaint contest, but sadly the Entente and two seaters were woefully under represented. So, this next contest is just for Entente flown two seaters!

    What: Entente Two Seater Repaint Contest.
    When: 31 August 2011 is the deadline for entries.
    Prize: A RAF R.E. 8 card autographed by Andrea Angiolino
    Winner chosen by: Community vote.

    Name:  SignedRE8card.JPG

    (the scan of the card looks a little off, but the actual card looks fine)


    Rules:
    • One entry per member
    • Limited to 5 images
    • Does not have to be painted during the contest.
    • Previous Wings of War Aerodrome repaint contest entries (minis) are not eligible.


    All entries must be placed in your Wings of War Aerodrome Album and then send me a PM containing the following information:

    • The actual photos (use the IMG code at the bottom right of the images in your album)
    • What miniature was used
    • Pilot and Unit name (if based on historical scheme)


    In addition to the signed card, the winner will receive the Painting Contest Winner medal:




    If you need a mini to paint, have a look at Cotton Jim's Flags. He has a nice selection of them and is going to sponsor some of the upcoming contest and giveaways here on the site.

    If stuck for interest and I can get a plane I might give it a go.

    I'd like to enter, have a spare Breguet, RE8 and DH4 but need colour schemes, a google search didn't inspire. Does anyone have any suggestions with images? I'd like to do the Breguet most of all but I'll give anything a pop.

    Nope, a German paint job will not count.

    Before posting this contest, I did do a little searching out there for some good paint jobs people might do. There are some out there. Try using the resources in the sticky of the Hobby section

    Does not have to be an official mini... just a two seater allied plane.

    Hmmm, maybe I could try to repaint my R.E.8 in 34 Squadron colours if I can find some background for it or something like that.

    I just last night bought my first 2-seater, Cadbury's DH4. Does it have to be a total repaint, or would adding shading, weathering and detail count? I like the idea of eating chocolate as he shoots down more Zepplins...

    There has never been a stipulation that it has to be a completely new paint scheme. Do it up and see what the members think!

    Thanks Oberst, I didn't think it would be a problem, but thought I would check. I like the scheme, but I want it more grimy, shaded and highlighted. I am considering making some heads for the pilot and gunner too, they look like they flew to close below a power line just now...

    Alright, my entry is almost done. I am done repainting, now just a few final touch-ups and corrections.

    EDIT: Aargh! My camera's display stopped working, I am going to have to take the pictures by aiming the camera blindly. Hopefully, I can get some other camera borrowed in time.

    I like your practical regard of entente two-seaters!

    Aaaaahhhhh! Just started on my DH-4. It'll be a repaint of a Non WOW from my older collection of 1/144 aircraft. The bright forest green paint and oblong photo copy paper roundels just rubbed me wrong.

    She's cleaned up, glue and paper removed and the first coat of paint hit the fabric this evening!

    Aaaaaaaargh!!!

    Well, My entry is done, camera being a bear and seems to be stuck in 2002. Managed to load the photos to Photoshop, but the two links they provide for the photo transfer won't move the pictures to the Aerodrome.

    Any suggestions for this techno challenged old guy?

    You need to upload the actual files from your PC to your Album... not try to link from an outside source or site. Create an Album, and once you are done, click on "upload pictures" then navigate to and choose the appropriate image files from your PC.

    Just upload them direct to your WoW album from your hard drive. there should be an "upload" button above and to the right of any pictures in an existing album; click on that and it should be fairly straightforward. If you don't have any albums set up I think you do that from your profile page, bottom left.

    Thank you Gentlemen,

    I have bludgeoned my way through and my photo's are posted. Please excuse the camera, It's my old back up and seems to be stuck in 2002.

    Now I'm warmed up and can start on the triplanes for Jasta Karen.

    I just finished a commision job, so went to break out the DH4. Do you think I can find it?

    It must be on a deep recon mission...
