So I was gong to enter. Then I realized the coffee can turned storage silo/bastion already had an example in cans (but not in "nuts" where I originally saw it). Tough to locate which pieces don't have an example and which ones do. Like if I click "can" in the junk area...there are no examples below...but if I scroll down, I see an example under "storage tank." Interwebs. You are my nemesis!
All that said, I'm submitting a few photos and will post a tutorial on my blog. I hope other folks enter!
I think the "example" you're seeing is from a tutorial. If there's no pics beneath "examples in use" you are good to go. I would put your example under "cans".
I believe there are a couple folks entering from Eastern Fringe too.
Release usage rights?
You're going to have to be a bit clearer. I'm happy to license my content under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Deriv 3.0 license ( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ ) although depending on your needs I might be willing to be more flexible.
Oh, I have another question - why does the footprint have to be so large?
I understand that you don't want just tiny bits of terrain, but what about vertical terrain?
I have an ork watchtower for example (as seen here: http://gorkamorka.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/f4.jpg ) which is 15" tall but only has a 20"^2 base.
As the table we usually play on is only 4'x4' there's not a huge amount of room for big terrain features.
However, if you can't be flexible about that, I understand and will probably enter regardless. I just wanted to ask.
I could have sworn I didn't use that many linebreaks..
To be clear, it's 'usage' rights, not ownership or anything like that. Just to ensure photos can be used on this blog without any repercussion.
I thought 36 square inches was pretty small, for this contest it'll have to be left as is, but your comments will be taken into consideration for next time.
My comp crashed and I may have lost all my built-but not primed pictures. Trying to recover now. I'm still sending what I have in though...just to get the rewards! :) Hope you got a lot of great entries!
