Basically it would be a non serious competition run in the same way the TBB paintoff is done, run a poll for what type of mini everyone would paint, people would PM scores 1-8 ( if there were 8 entrants etc and easy to keep track off with the right software) to me and I would calculate the scores, then post them up and see what happens!
or a simple forum poll could be made to vote for a mini, one vote per person... no real prizes as such, unless mezir could wrangle a +FF boost to the winners team of choice for having well painted minis...
people get to look at minis, increases community spirit etc, who can lose?  |

oh yeah, it would also feature in the GLN when it gets produced... i never got round to doing a vault item for mezir, but this would be my apology to him  |

Seeing as how I don't have an icecube's chance in hell to win this thing I would hardly participate, but it would be great to see it implemented. As one of my most useless Thralls once said:

Just bumping this again, its not a harcore () competition, as no major prizes are won (maybe a FF boost for a cool mini!). but something tha is similar to the one on FranceBB, here is a massive difference in quality of paintjobs, shouldnt alwys be put off because there are people better than you, if that was the case i would no longer play BB!
Well there could be a voting system in place similar to FranceBB but is a lot of work for the high chief! but I would be happy to keep a record of the voting via PM's |

Would be great - I don't paint much any more (getting old ---> eyesight failing ----> hands shaking) but I used to do ok in my day. Still enjoy a well painted mini though! |

well the way it usually works is that the only regulation is like.... must be a star player, then the next one is.... lineman...... or secret weapon...... conversion special...... support staff..... Big Guy.... non GW mini if you see what I mean...  |

*bump* - brownrob, are you still looking at giving this thing a go? tis still a good idea, and I'd rather like to see something come of it (my entries will suck ... but that's hardly the point ) |

A crucial part of this will be taking a decent picture of your mini once you've painted it. Here are some links to tutorials relating to mini photography (courtesy of the Forum of Doom):

If you have any specific questions, I can give a few tips either on technique or digitally editing the final image - just post on the thread. If necessary, I can whip up a new User Guide section on it, once my exams are out of the way!
Rob, may I suggest the winner be inducted to a special gallery, on the User Guide? I can host images if necessary, though I know that Photobucket at least does allow direct linking. It would be nice to place the images in an exclusive FUMBBL portrait frame, sized for use as a JBB portrait.
One last thing, Rob - insist that images are no greater than a certain size (in dimensions), and that they are cropped to just show the mini - you don't want massive panoramic images of peoples' bedrooms, with a tiny speck in the middle representing the actual mini. Consistent size will also aid in the voting, making a fairer comparison between minis. |

I would possibly throw in, given the right choice of subject matter. |
