Those Nice folks over at The Forum of Doom are having a new painting competition. The Unofficial Diorama of Doom 2012 is being organised by my good friend Inso on behalf of the forum.

The last time i entered this competition (and indeed its the only painting competition I've ever entered) I came second by a whisker. So I have some sort of title to defend! Ha!

The theme of the 2012 competition is ADVERSITY .

I have a couple of ideas for this competition, my first is based on the Hasslefree Miniatures "Scooby Gang" miniatures. showing them 'before' and 'after' Adversity (or as it is more commonly known, 'the Zombie Apocalypse').

I came up with a name for this piece:

"Shortly after Mystery Inc discovered that the Brain Devouring Zombie of Hawkins Manor wasn't Old Man Jacoby the Caretaker in disguise, Velma instigated the 'shoot first, unmask later' protocol."

I suspect this may not fit on the base though, so I'll probably shorten it to:

"Shoot First, Unmask Later"

I started with the Scoobies first...

More pictures and general chat on my blog, or why not stop by the Forum of Doom

ALL comments, criticism and suggestions welcome. Please bear in mind its a year since i picked up a paintbrush, and I've only just remembered to use the end with bristles!

Nice "Not Scooby Do's", I want the whole gang at some stage I think!!!

And yes, post in several forums, that way you get a nice cross section of comments. People who visit many forums may see it all over the place, but some people just stick to their favourite forum and thats it. This is my main forum, but Frothers is very good for getting decent and honest feedback definately. looking forward to seeing what you are going to do with this.....
