Nice one Hammer! T'was a lovely render!

I agree with you too, I thought more people would have voted, I guess the battle threads get overlooked a bit.

Well done anyhow!

When in doubt, delete history and freeze transformations.

Hey guys i voted for Dango! i think his had much more character and sense of fun to it. Also the Grip on hammers really put me off. the metal work looked great even if it was a little too shiney for me. Great work by everyone tho.

what didn't you like about the grip?

i think the difference is that not all the entries were real objects. If there is a next time, maybe it should be all real world things or all made up stuff.

Personally i would say Chirone's was the most fun, certainly the most inventive.

yeah, you do have a point there hammer

it'd would have been better if they were all real world or all made up... probably also all melee or ranged weapons too

oh well... we learn for next time :p

Hammer generally its a great model its just the detailed part on the grip looks a bit stretched and not sharp enough on the lil 'bobbles'. check out this one to see what i mean. Gun

Chirones i will agree was the most inventive and looked very clean however its just dangos had the most charm.

Again just personal oppinion. All of them were good and i would have loved to have joined in, maybe on the next one user added image

Ahh, i get you... yeah well its still unfinished. that was just a quick fix at the end. Actually there is no safety catch and some other bits are missing too.

i understand its just your opinion all i was trying to say is that its hard to judge any of the entries in one category.
