Oh I know that feel bro, I tried to paint him for the November GD and dumped the project as it was nearly impossible to do him justice (from my perspective and with my skills).

Sergeant harker, who is so much of a pain to paint.
I don't know if it's the metal cast or what but there are so many small and deep recesses. Plus I glued the gun on and this makes a lot of stuff complexe to reach but that's on me.
Yeah you're right really, I came to that conclusion myself. I was just trying to figure whether it was worth braving the queues to get on the shelves early. I think there are little things you can do to stack the deck in your favour though. A slightly wider plinth to keep other entries from crowding the personal space of your entry.. Which is what I may or my not be doing...
Anyone got any thoughts on the wider science of entering?
Make your entry truly outstanding and you won't have to worry about where it's put or when
(I completely understand that being put at the back of the bottom shelf will mean you get less time looked at, but if it's good enough to win a Demon, it should probably only need a glance to register as a great piece)
Although, if there are a large number of entries, getting in later could be beneficial as earlier entries get pushed to the back. Anyone got any thoughts on the wider science of entering? Timings etc? Maybe I'm over thinking a bit.
