Yea, distribution sucks around my area too. I'm surprised I found a renegades Storm Shadow honestly. I'm starting to go to online ordering. It's cheaper than me driving to look considering the 50-60 mile round trip.

As for the theme Footloose, it can be anything you want. It's up to the masses if it's good enough. :D

You can put in multiple entries but it does not mean they will all make it to the finals. You have to leave room for the logo and dog tags. Beeavision will add all that later.

920x322. Bee may have changed the size but I'll have to ask. Just use that for now.

I know the Front page only gets updated every 6 months :rolleyes:

but we should really start promoting the banner contest on the front page every month. We have alot of talented people on the forum who have no idea about the contest each month and that might further the exposure.

I'm thinking a quick write up with the rules and regulations and of course the swag that they win. Maybe for the picture, we could use the previous months winner to sorta honor them? Just an idea... don't wanna work you admins too hard :eek:

I'll try to be on that more MW. That is a good idea. Now I'll have to actually work. :(

Just an idea. I think it will help. If you need assistance on it, I'd be willing to help. Even if it's just helping out with the prizes or whatever.

And anyone can pick other figures if they win. I have a selection. There is no commitment on the zombie.

Did I hear someone bemoaning our front page?! We like it pristine.. without all that "news" and "content" getting in the way...

hrumph!

He likes drednocks. Don't fault him. :eek:

Guess it won't kill me to update it more than every tax quarter. :rolleyes:

Can we get a picture of the selection?

Pretty much anything from POC and some 30th figures. I'll try to do a list but I'm fairly sure I have at least one of each figure released in Pursuit of Cobra. No BBI or ultimate soldier though. I may have a BBI weapons pack though.

Does an animal count as a figure?

Hhmmmmm....I'll have to say yes. If it was an animal companion it would be like having two figures and if the subject is hunting then it's not really "only one".

Now the animal could be by itself. That would be pretty interesting to see how that would get done.

Wow, it's only the 7th and we've already got some top notch entries. Looks like the Zombie Viper is bringing everyone out. I'm gonna have to bring my A game. I'm really loving this theme. It's a great challenge, and I think we're going to get some great shots out of it.

My sentiments exactly. I figured the theme would offer up some decent shots but didn't realize the zombie would bring people out of the woodwork. It's going to be a tough one this month. Quite possibly one of the larger competitions for the banner yet!

I took a few shots this afternoon. Unfortunately the wind kept knocking down my backdrop and SE, so I only managed 3 decent photos before packing up in frustration.

I originally planned this shot with Timber next to SE, but I think it works well as just a solo shot.



Here's the original, uncropped version.


"Snake Eyes heads back to barracks after a long and exhausting mission. Debrief can wait until he's had some rack time."

Holy Crap! Some wicked awesome entries so far, gulp.

Fled that is one of the coolest shots ever. So simple. That bird looks scaled at that distance. Great use of that thing. Nice to see that version of SE. Works well. looks like you re-painted that plane??

Oh, C'mon!!! You have pretty much already won. Jk Great shots that looks awesome.

Count me in for the banner vote, I need some more snow though before I can take some shots. How long do I have till I need my entry in?

Thanks guys, but please don't single me out. There's heaps of great entries on here.

Rick - yes, I repainted it as a night ops bird. I sprayed it flat black and drybrushed grey and silver on some areas to bring out detail.
