Agreed. At this standard you can sort of relax and go with personal taste. Nobody’s getting robbed here.

No. 8 is grotesque, I both love and hate it. Excellent work! I also love how the model riding it can be swapped out.

No. 10 is fantastic, I’m not sure I fully understand what is going on in it but the colours and the bazaar feel it has are really cool

No. 17 low-key creeps me out with the harshness of all the minute highlights, it really feels like a colourised drawing of an oldhammer ink line drawing. Great choice of colours as well.

No. 22 has some fantastic banners, the whole paint scheme is excellent but the size and colour of the banners really gives it that something-something, they also look really velvety which adds a great vibe.

No. 24 is a far better conversion than I ever would have expected it to be if you told me what bits it would be made from, it’s a highly impressive conversion and the maker should be very proud.

Superb entries all round, the competition is fierce here today!

Does anyone know what that mechanical beast is in Entry 11? Kit/STL/Kitbash?

One brought me joy the moment I saw it, that was easy, as it was in my aesthetic wheelhouse. Then it became which second one fits my aesthetic and then the third I chose for outside of my normal aesthetic tastes, but just over overall and that was the hardest one. I also had to wait for a computer to true look at them as well. Phone wasnt going to cut it
