Post subject: Creativity Challenge no4: Modelling
|
 |
|
While we're voting for #3, time to start Creativity Challenge #4:
Make one WAS or AAM mini mod.
You can, of course, submit previous work of yours, but I doubt you'll win with something we've seen before  .
The deadline is Sunday midnight Pacific Time.
You can submit up to two images showing different angles of your miniature. One miniature only. Please don't post huge 1280x... images. If it's that large please crop it down to something like 640x480, so that you photo doesn't dominate the page .

A few questions to clarify this challenge.
1. This is one category/challenge of WAS and AAM?
2. Does it have to be a mod of a WoTC mini or can it be a model you use with WAS or AAM?
3. Assume 3D terrain projects WAS or AAM are not included in this challenge?

I would think painting a WoTC mini is a mod.
Looks nice by the way.

In other words you need time to get your done.
I will withhold saring pics of my railroad terrain then.

Yes, they do, but you must choose one mini.

Thanks panzerpainter. It's identical, so it's as if it's one mini  .

Is it too late to withdraw the Amtracks, and post something that is new? This SAS jeep will be done in time, and should be the bees knees.

Great! Cause I think I got this SAS nailed. 40 pieces and counting.
I am not sure which is more fun: Making mods, or researching them. These lil buggers, with all guns blazing, could put out 5000 RPM. They absolutely DEVASTATED German airbases, racking up almost 100 planes destroyed in just 2 raids.
