Hopefully it's ok to post other painting competitions here, not just the ones hosted on this site. If not, my abject apologies. Anyway.

There's a spontaneous and fairly informal modelmaking/painting competition going on at The Speakeasy, the forums for Rattrap Productions, publishers of fine narrative adventure minis games such as .45 Adventure, Gloire, Fantastic Worlds, Broadsword Adventure, etc.

Basically, make a raygun-pulp jetbike out of parts, post a painted pic, parts list, and cool writeup about the pilot by November 30th.

The contest thread is here:

By all means please post other contests here! This is a community for all gamers, games and competitions, please feel free to introduce us all to whatever other events that are out there. Word if mouth is how I find the coolest of events, sites, and retailers!
