Sorry about that

Yes. 

Too Early...

Too Soon™️

Next year’s theme: pirates.

 

And while the Con is done, the dinner is tonight at half past six, so nearly “done-done”.

There were a couple pirate-y models in the Bones 5 preview case, and some of the samples at Julie Guthrie's desk had a pirate-y feel as well.

Need to get home and recover from this one, first. 

 

So .. gimme about a week. >.>

Already thinking on what to paint to try for that elusive gold

Maybe not a gold, but I have a couple of ideas bouncing around in my head

16 hrs in the car for us to strategize. Had the basics down before we hit OKC.

I have an idea for a diorama already. 

... as per normal, Must Consider How. I almost want to build it as a shadowbox. >.>

[SGHawkins09 12953]

I am ready and have ideas but it’s up in the air if I can go.

i have a diorama planned out, that will also be a bombshell entry. It'll be fancier than anything i've done before. 

i think part of why my stuff scores so poorly in the contest is because my bases are just not good enough. I've noticed most of what wins gold has some super fancy base, so i suspect basing scores higher than they list it does

The feedback I got for Science Officer Hahn leads me to believe this is true. 

That ... unfortunately, was kind of the most useful feedback I got (the only, if I am being honest), as all the rest largely told me that what I already suspected. 

 

Anyway, yah. More Planning! Better Execution! .... *gets stick for brain weasels*

i suspect that is the case. A lot of what i feel like should score well, they tell me gets 'very close to gold, but just isn't quite there', and base scoring seems to be part of it despite the fact they dont' list base scoring as that high for Painters category. But i shall try a super fancy base on everthing next year and see how it goes

 I have plans for next year's entries.  So many plans....

I need to diversify my entries, putting everything in painters is probably working against me....
