Hi,

so, if I understand correctly you can enter by either getting your green to the starplayer store or by sending pictures to battle group?

Bye, Ming-Hua

That\'s not very much for a green. Would the green be returned? Or for those not in France, would it be OK to send pics for the contest, and then masters instead of the green if they won?

Concerning the \"price\", I think this is more of an opportunity for new sculpters to get a moment of spot-light.

On the other hand I have much more concerns about legal manners. Is Privateer Press accepting this contest? Even if the mini is not official and not sold, it will be designed to fit into their univers. Maybe I have to calm down my spider senses, but I smell IP infringement in the air .

They did omething similar a while back and got PP\'s OK.

That\'s right. But if you win , you have to send us your green.

No. As Green Stuff said, this is more for new sculpters.

We\'v done it two times in the past (with the minis Spencer and Yanov) and PP is ok.

Sounds like a very interesting project then. Would the winner get a few copies of the cast mini?

Of course.

while the idea is intresting I am not gonna join this. As mentioned before the price for a green isn\'t that high, (not higher than my going commision rate for instance).. but for beginning sculptors it\'s an oke fair price in my eyes (I do start to count myself as slightly advanced by now). The problem however for me would be that if you would join and the green would not win... the green would become useless due to PP IP as it is obviously gonna fit the warmachine line. PP didn\'t give oke for those greens to go into production I bet. It might not be a problem for a bunch of beginning sculptors, but the chance of having put a lot of time into a green I can\'t do anything with even if I would want to produce it for my own line or sell it, would hold me back.
