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.

Are you glazing with a Lm/paint mix? I'd maybe not glaze to your highlight. Glaze between your kantor and mid tone, then layer and feather up to your highlight. Glazes are more for dragging from light to dark into your shadows, not taking up a Highlight.

Got my ticket for the weekend. Doss anyone know if entries can be submitted from the Saturday or is it only the Sunday? This will affect how early I decide to arrive ha.


Got my entries on the go. Entering AoS single, 40k single, 40k squad, open and possibly a duel depending on how much time I have.

Dont like the em mini so probably not going to paint it, at least not for the uk fest.

Advice / Need help with my glazing, I'm at a loss!

Hi all, figured I'd come for help here as the quality on here is much higher than myself.

I'm trying to learn glazing, I've followed tutorials on YouTube and pdf files of it, and I just can't seem to work out where I'm.going wrong with it, the end result looks god awful and I'm at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong.

 I've tried thinning my paints with Lahmian medium, Vallejo glaze medium and water. I've followed the guides to how thin the paint should be (paper towel trick, etc).

I'm blocking in my highlights with a base of Kantor Blue, and highlights of Teclis Blue, with a mid tone of the two mixed, the base to midtone glaze seems to work but when I start glazing the highlights transition, it starts to look like crap. Tried less thinned, and thinner paints and still can't get it to work.

Attached some pics of the abominations here http://imgur.com/a/vgKTuEV

Any advice or help is much appreciated!! Thanks!
