I'm sorry if I am not allowed to post here, but I would like to congratulate personally the MBS Painting Competition finalists for 2015. These are all very deserving entries done by arguably some of the best in the business, I am very glad to see a few new artists emerge and show their skills in this fabulous online painting contest.

I have said so many times before that there is no better way to bring out ones very best than in the arena of competition, I know personally that if it was not for the MBS Painting Contests there is no way I would have painted the very best USS Montana, HMS Renown & HMS Vanguard I was capable of.

Lastly I would like to mention that there are no losers in a competition such as this, at the very least we all have some fabulous pieces for our chosen tabletop wargames, and you have all entered some amazing work this year, I would like to thank each and every artist that entered this year and hope we can all meet up again next year and enter the MBS Painting Contest in 2016. These contests are great for the forums, great for the players and great for our respective games, thank you very much to Ruckdog and all the sponsors of the MBS Painting Contest.

Congratulations once again to our finalists.

I'll second that. Some great looking ships in the contest this year. I like that we have a good range of subjects--fantasy to steampunk to World War Two to far future.

Some of you guys SERIOUSLY need to put up some tutorials for your techniques. Unless those are trade secrets...

I have two tutorials on WWII Naval Miniature Painting at Axis & Allies Forumini, one is a quick guide while the other is more comprehensive. The latter is still a work in progress but still a useful guide for the beginner.

Most will find our techniques are very similar especially those with a GW background, of course styles vary from artist to artist, and we are all restricted in terms of our chosen discipline of war games miniatures. I was wondering Hetairoi about the scale of the Kingfisher, are these miniatures fairly small? I'm not familiar with the Sci-fi games, it's a gorgeous piece.

Hope to see more of your beautiful work in the future.

Hi Dan,
US ships are quite big... The Kingfisher is 8cm long (aprox).

Cheers

Looks like we have our winners!
