Nice work, SWO!
I would like to officially submit my recently-finished Dystopian Wars Dominion of Canada landship the HMCS Natural Science for the competition.
Please ignore the puny token of Terriers!

Note: this collage was put together using the Pic Stitch app. I have made a few adjustments to each picture for contrast, brightness, saturation, and sharpness; these edits were made mostly to fix some of the drawbacks of using an iPhone camera. The middle picture on the bottom was edited in Instagram for dramatic effect. If this in any way is against the contest rules, I can submit a non-edited version. Also, this is technically one image, consisting of four different pictures; but if this does not fit the rules, please let me know and I'll edit the post.
Thanks!

Nothing wrong with any of that! Thanks for the entry.

This is the latest from the Danaussie Shipyards guys, and also my submission for the Man Battlestations Painting Contest. I was having trouble logging in but it was more than likely a problem from my end. This is a model from the Axis & Allies - War at Sea Collection of the USS Montana as she would have appeared in 1945, of course although hulls were laid down for these monsters, none were ever completed. The United States Navy had already made the Battleship obsolete by the end of WWII proving beyond any doubt that the Aircraft Carrier was to become the new Queen of the Sea. Battleships were to slowly fade into history, we may only see this beauty as she appears here as a model replica of what might have been.
This model is painted with Citadel (GW) & Vallejo Artists Acrylics, all techniques as is the standard in which I paint by are used, with extra focus on dry-brushing, washes and inks and hi-lighting to achieve maximum depth. No modelling tape is used to recreate the MS 32 Camouflage.
This model is base-coated in a darkened Codex Grey, followed by a Badab Black Wash before a dry brush in a lightened Fortress Grey. The model then recieves a futher wash in a lightened Badab Black before the final hi-lights are added including the camouflage measure. The Camouflage Measure 32 uses a lightened Shadow Grey and Darkened Shadow grey to create the two shades of blue/grey, USN Deck Blue. Also used in the camo are Chaos Black and "Dirty White" this is Skull White mixed with 2 drops of Chaos Black. The deck receives a darkened Shadow Grey before a Badab Black Wash and finaly a hi-light of the original color.
It took a while to do, but I was very proud of this one and I am happy to enter it into the Man Battlestations Painting Contest. There are some magnificent entries by all the artists here so first let me say well done guys and the very best of luck to all participants.
Thank You :) :) :)

The lower insert is a night time shot underway with the towers "on" as you can see the glow under UV light. I would had made it larger but the contest is for the paint, not the effects.

MadDrB asked if I would spread the word on my podcast's Facebook page about the contest. Always glad to help a listener I did.
But, what's more I thought I should submit an entry into the contest. It won't win or anything. But, MadDrB I painted this and am submitting it specifically because you told me about the contest. :)
Good luck to everyone!
