With top notch entries in previous years I really had my work cut out for me, not to mention one of the biggest hurdles of just getting it started (unlike previous years!). So I decided to go all out and create the <strong>Diodon Battle Droid<\/strong> based loosely on Robotech Mech Warriors and incorporating some freshly learned painting techniques thanks to a resurging love for model kit building.  Also threw some LED&#8217;s at it for good measure \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>The competition itself had really taken off this year with 39 entries from some talented artists but the hard work paid off as I took home 1st place in the competition! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to Laced and their sponsors for hosting another great event, now how to follow it up next year??<\/p>\n<p>Check the spec
