Crazy Ivan's Painting Event
On December 17th, 2006, GMI Games and Collectables sponsored
a weekend long painting event.
The rules were fairly simple:
Buy approximately $30 of product from the store, bring it in on
Friday unassembled/unpainted/unbased and you had until Sunday
at 5pm to complete this Regiment/Army Group.
We had sponsorship for the event from Privateer Press, Dark Age Miniatures
and from Games Workshop.
So we had 3 categories (PP, DA and GW), plus an overall best painter/modeler
category.
We had 6 people enter the event with 4 of them completing the challenge.
Myself, Rob (the owner of the store) and Brian (a store patron) were the
designated Judges of the event.
Below are photos from the entire weekend.
Winner of the event: Toby with his Eldar Rangers (also won GW category.
Jason won the DA category for his Saint Mary Battlegroup. The PP entries
dropped out Saturday afternoon, so no completed PP groups finished!
