Hey I wasn't able to post my model to for the contest on the Facebook page because I'd been a member of it for less than 3 days. Is there anyway I can get my model submitted?
when it says custom bases are allowed does that mean we can interchange any base to set the entered model on?
Yes, as long as the final product follows the rest of the rules & guidelines
Do you contact the winners personally and not publicly?
Hey Adam, We announce our winners publicly here with a Patreon Post and then they contact us here. If you are contacted by a suspicious site ( @archvillaingames ) please do not respond it is a scam!
Hello! For the dioramas does it have to be 100mm base aswell? Also, can we modify the models slightly (by hand after printing)?
Greetings. You are commenting on a post from March. For any assistance feel free to message us, comments are not tracked.
im printing the wheel, can I use that or is it too big?
This sounds like a lot of fun! The stuff you all put out this month is absolutely gorgeous. I'm not even close to a professional, but I certainly can't wait to enter! Could my son also enter a painted miniature? Although he is 13 he isn't on social media at all. If we both can't submit one, could I include a picture of his painted mini with my entry just so he can put it online with the rest of the pictures?
Why can't we scale up Resin prints ??? I like painting 75mm scale and not all model are supplied this way
Hey Sam. We need to compare skills on the same size of a model, scaling things up would hinder that. Everyone likes different things, its understandable that we cannot please everyone, however we need to set a standard for entries.
can we have furniture in our dioramas?
Hey Jamie! Yes you can have furniture in your dioramas as long as the base size doesn't exceed 100mm.
Man I really want to participate but I'm short on resin and on skills :c
Excuse me, if I post 2 entry "Bear Vanguard" but in different pose and scale. Is it follow the rule "-One entry per patron allowed.-Print size must be no more than 100%." ? Or i need to paint different character for each entry?
Hey 慶元 曾 . You can only have one entry per account and in 100% scale .
Does that mean goober yeti is not eligible either?
All Yetis are eligible for the painting contest!
does the colaberation model from this month work or does it have to be from the main release
Hey Daniel. Jormugandr is not a part of the Frostburn Horror release so not eligible for the contest!
For the monthly hashtag for the print is it just the name of the model we chose?
The hashtag is contained in the Frostburn Horrors contest post. This month it is #avgicicle
I suppose I had better brush off the old paint set then!
Does Mensiririon count?
Hey Zak, Mensirrion is not part of the Frostburn Horrors! Looking forward to your work on any of the models of the release!
May the odds be ever in your favor!
