PRESENTING THE AUGUST 2010 IMPERIAL SHIPYARDS FIGURE REPAINT COMPETITION
Folks, Here is a new contest that will run from today, the 1st of August until midnight CST on the 31st of August.
The basics are that members can compete by REPAINTING ONE STAR WARS FIGURE to present by the ending date and time to be judged by all members for a week after the voting thread goes up after the end of the contest.
All entries must comply to the following rules:
1) entry MUST BE a Star Wars figure to be repainted by the competitor. Any size or brand of Star Wars figure will be accepted, for example, Hasbro 3 3/4 inch, 12 inch, Koto, GG, whatever. This entry is to be a repaint only. That means, no parts swapping, no parts modifying, and no parts additions. If the parts or weapons came with the figure in it's original packaging, they will be accepted but nothing else. This can be a complete repaint or just a partial. Decals or other applications of a similar nature like the decals that Wraithnine uses or even the adhesive backed foils that I have used on my figures will be accepted.
2) absolutely no cheating! If you plagiarize another creator's custom by claiming it's your own, or if you try to pad the voting by using multiple shipyards user ids, you will be disqualified. "no exceptions"
3) you must be a registered shipyards member to enter
4) your entry pics can not be photo shopped or contain any photo shopped elements
5) your entry must be an all new custom painted by you and can't have been posted here or anywhere else before the start of this competition.
Remember, this can be a clone, droid, alien, pilot, whatever, as long as it's only a Star Wars figure. "sorry, Joe fans"
All registered members are eligible to enter.
In this thread, your WIP or finished custom pics are welcome as is commentary in regards to them so feel free to troubleshoot ideas with the other members, here. You may show WIP or trouble shooting pics of more than one figure in this thread but only one entry per competitor with only one figure will be accepted.
By the ending date and time, you must present 1-4 pics of your entry to staff@imperialshipyards.net I want one of the pics to be a shot of the figure in it's "stock state" before you do any work to it, that way we can have before and after shots. "remember to include your member name" and after the end of the contest, we will host and post your entry pics on a voting page for all members to vote on for a week. If there is a tie for the 1st or 2nd place, we will have a vote off in between the entries that are tied.
Prizes are as follows:
1st place: I plan on entering in this contest myself and if I don't win 1st place, my repainted figure will be the grand prize. I will post wip pics as I am conducting the repaint of this figure.
2nd place: a random selection of my resin parts. "20 including the newest hollow helmets I am making now"
3rd place: a random selection of 9 of my resin parts. "pics of the two parts bundles can be found below"
The pics at the top of this post are just an example of what an entry could be as that is an ROTS Galactic Marine that I repainted some time ago. No Swapped or extra parts..............just a repaint.
Grab your brushes and choose a figure. May the best figure win.
