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!
