ChromaquillStudios

Have to be an active member at the time of entering or the time of the contest judging or all of it?

Jodi Odgers

Some questions: 1) Do you have to be a paid member to be eligible, or are free members also welcome? 2) Do you have to start painting the model after the contest begins, or can you submit a model that you started painting before the contest? 3) So you have to have printed the model yourself, or could you have had a friend print it for you? Excited to see which models are eligible and pick something โ˜บ๏ธ

BS_RebornPhoenix

unfortunately. when it comes to contest you need to do the entirety of the painting and prep during the contest time period. unless the rules state other wise. printing prior tends to be up in the air in most for contests tho..
