Brighton War Council Website

Hey guys & gals, really excited to announce that the BWC website is up and running. I've been putting it together for the last month or so, and we're really pleased with how it's turning out.

In the coming months we'll be adding battle reports, articles, tutorials, games day write ups, list analysis and all sorts of other cool stuff. I'll be posting up painting tutorials as well as some of our other experts. Head over there to check it out!

My Imperial Knight [Truth] was featured in White Dwarf Issue 76. Childhood dream come true. That is all. 

I won Mecha 2012! / Taking a break

Didn't expect this to happen! 

The much anticipated results of the Mecha 2012 competition over at Mechalounge.com have been released. Yesterday Hannah and I took a break from cleaning to huddled around my phone whilst shuffling about in our old empty flat trying to find the spot with the best 3G signal. I've never heard her screech so loudly when they announced my entry as the winning entry for my category (Modified Plastic), and when the the link for mvm3897's best of show came up we where both speechless when he announced my entry as his favourite, and best of show! I've always been a massive fan of Matt's work and he's a real inspiration to me, so for him to pick my model as his favourite means a hell of a lot.

Here are the two videos, I urge you to watch the entire 17 minutes of the announcement video as the other winning entries are spectacular. Decay has also announced the winners on his site with photos, so that's well worth checking out

I just want to thank everyone at Mecha Lounge - The organisers of the competition, Kamm & Sneeper1980. All the other staff that helped organise and moderate the competition, like Harry, Hummingbird & Decay off the top of my head (sorry if I forgot anyone). Also the judges who took their time out to sort through all the hundreds of entries to pick the best ones, and finally all the awesome community members over at Mecha Lounge, it's seriously cool forum to be a part of at the moment. 

Secondly: I'll be taking a bit of a break from Gunpla for a few months. We're currently in temporary accommodation and all my modelling stuff is in storage until we find a proper place to live. I guess this will give me a chance to do some digital painting and photography.

I won European Gunpla Cup!

Normally I wouldn't blog something without posting any work or progress, but I thought this worth putting up here! I recently entered my Sinanju into the Mech Art Forum's European Gunpla Cup, not really expecting anything to come of it as it was my first ever kit and there where some really strong entries, but I entered nonetheless.
