Windwalkers

Wind leaves no trace — except on everything it touches. Paint any number of models shaped by that force. We're looking for the effects wind leaves behind: flowing cloth, billowing cloaks, swirling dust, smoke, and other subtle ways wind shapes everything it touches. Any genre, any scale — as long as you can see the wind doing its work.

Entry Guidelines

• One entry per person

• Must be your own work painted during this competition window

• Entries must not have been entered in other competitions

• Any number of models allowed — single figures, small groups, or scenic compositions

• Fully finished models only, no WIPs

• Any scale, genre, or subject matter

• Conversions, kitbashes, and 3D printed models allowed

• Must include five (5) clear, well-lit photos on a neutral background: bare plastic/unpainted model(s), front, left side, right side, and back

• No AI-generated, enhanced, or photoshopped images

Please make sure your entry follows all the competition guidelines listed above. Entries that don't will not be eligible for placement or prizes.

Judging Criteria

Entries will be evaluated based on creative intent, including:

• Use of color - How effectively you use color to support your concept and create mood

• Consistency of technique - Technical execution that serves your artistic vision

• Quality of build - Clean preparation with no mold lines, seamless assembly, and attention to detail

• Storytelling - The narrative your piece communicates through composition, basing, and presentation

Judging will take place after the competition deadline. Winners will be announced within 10 days of the competition end via the Baselair newsletter and socials.
