I did come up with several ideas for an epic fail, unfortunately they all revolved around me spending money or making a diorama. Both of which I had decided not to do. Instead I started to assemble and paint a medevac helicopter. But that took to long and I did not finish it.
So instead I just put in a US soldier from Vietnam covered in a grown sheet as they did with the dead until they could be taken back to camp.
very simple to paint and rather than just miss out I submitted this as an epic fail. very quick, very simple and easy to get finished. But at the same time although a little dark in subject a Total Epic Fail as far as I am concerned.
The figure is a Grubby Tanks/Britannia model in 20mm (1/72nd scale) and is part of the helicopter medevac set. (More of those in a few days)
Thanks for looking and more in 2 days.
All the best Clint
It may have been a "simple" entry Clint, but I thought its message was very clear. Great entry imho.
ReplyDeleteThank you Blax/Simon. I was going to do a Churchill bridge layer that fell of it's own bridge!
DeleteIt was a damn good entry!
ReplyDeleteTHank you Fran. I liked the entry but I don't expect others to. Maybe a bit too "dark" for many.
DeleteA really poignant entry Clint, well done Sir.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. I think the Churchill Bridelayer that had fallen of its own bridge would have been funnier and given you a run for the winning slot.
DeleteSimple but effective Clint old boy (although I would like to have seen that medevac chopper...)
ReplyDeleteThank you Gobbo. The Medevac Chopper is finished and I will show it in due course.
DeleteThere's no denying that it fits the bill for Epic Fail.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan. With all the bonus rounds it really is wide open to interpretation. But As I wargame Vietnam it was an easy solution, I am not saying the best solution but just an easy one.
DeleteVery poignant Clint and a little sad too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe. I also put up "Let the sunshine in!" The final song from the musical "Hair" on the blog post which did make it sadder. So I removed it from my own blog.
DeleteClever work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Roger, although desperate was a better description in my head.
DeleteI did like this, but am still sad that the other one couldn't have been finished in time. Let's see how the future ones go..
ReplyDeleteThough I am with you on not wanting to go too far with dioramas or buying models for the challenges.. I think it is better to use what you got, and go from there..Else all your doing is adding to the great lead pile in the end!
Great work as always!
Thank you Kyle. I totally agree with your comments about adding to the lead Mountain. Believe it or Not I am trying to reduce it .
DeleteNice idea. Looks good and having seen the chopper already very fitting.
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon. Nothing decided for the next bonus round just yet, SEVERAL ideas though, might just be related to this though (no NOT a cemetery).
