Mooooooooonstone!!
Salute ' 21 - A Gold For Moonstone!
A wee short entry here but one I that I’m dead happy to be making!
So Salute was last weekend and myself and Mrs Jan flew over on the Friday for it. Was to be my first ever Salute and I was well excited!!
Friends n viewers convinced me to bring some minis over to enter in the painting competition so I brought a few of my fav pieces in my travel case.
Salute was so much fun! Got to meet up with a whole pile of viewers from my Twitch channel IRL for the first time and got to meet with the BoW team again!
I entered Tank Girl which is my favourite piece I’ve done, the Hamelin diorama piece and I brought my New Dominion troupe from Moonstone as well. Tank Girl & Hamelin didnt make first cut but then as I was coming back from a cheeky smoke break, I saw my friends rather aggitated and furiously beckoning me over………….
Gold in Fantasy UnitApparently this had happened!!! To say I was(am) thrilled is somethign of an understatement!!! Salute was my first ever IRL competition and I got a Gold! I was also so very happy that it was with Moonstone. I have had so so much fun painting these minis up and they have been a real breath of fresh air and quite a different track for me from what I usually paint.
I knew before going that I was going to be buying more Moonstone but…….. I might have gotten a little carried away!!!
Moonstone Fridays on Twitch are back on the menu boys!!!
Huge thanks to all that came and supported and met up over the weekend – was a really honour meeting you all 🙂
Congratulations and well deserved. The models look great.
Cheers very much 🙂
You are a legend bud, how the sweet Jesus Tank Girl didn’t win something I don’t know… maybe they were concerned with a clean sweep of all the prizes 😀
The Moonstone minis you did are beautiful and now I have ridiculous expectations to live up to. Well done mate and I am sure if you keep entering into things this will be the first of many Golds and Firsts.
Great getting to say hello, there is never enough time.
Thanks so much Martin. Tank Girl remains, at least to me, one of my favourite and best pieces but I guess she’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I really thought she would at least make first cut at the comp but nope. *shrugs* So happy that Moonstone minis did well though. Im really happy with them and have had a blast painting them 🙂
Well deserved mate and well done
