Thanks
Alberto The Contest, a superb adventure from which I draw a lot of teaching, motivation and inspiration.
“King Alberto-Koko” : This project was a real challenge, inspired by my pets Meïko (Alberto) and Quiche (the fish).
I would like to sincerely congratulate each participant and winner.
Each entry was unique and awesome.
Many thanks to Durgin Paint Forge for the 2 prizes he awarded to my project ( 🥇 Original idea + Best in show).
I could never have hoped for so much recognition, it’s priceless! 🙇
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supports my painting project in general, whether on the networks (each like/comment/message) or on a daily basis. This matters a lot.
Investment
Overall execution time: 2 months (start of August to mid-October 2023):
Around 50 hours of printing in total (so 21 hours just for the guards).
Approximately 150 hours of painting.
80 ml of resin.
A box of Milliput
200mL of “realistic water” resin (to make water)
To summarize the investment made in this figurine: I "ate competition", "sleep competition", ... for 2 months, non-stop. And it was a real pleasure!
Pictures
Some photos of the "King Alberto-Koko" project , from its imagination/creation, to its finality.
Quiche (the fish), was not planned during creation.
He died (at the honorable age of 20) during the production of the play.
So I decided to add it to the diorama (see photo n°8), as a sort of "tribute".
Thanks to the tutorials from Jero Miniatures which were very useful to me for the design of the base.
