Well, you have enough words there to come up with a back story for the competition in my opinion, and maybe just needed a little fix up and edit in the text. I think you should have submitted it nevertheless, for it's an awesome piece of work man.
Well, on the other side of the fence, it made me laugh like a madman here in my office.

man, that's a shame, this guys probably would have done very well. he looks really sharp, guy, and I think he fits into the EOD world really well. you should be really proud of this, you did a great job. next time you have trouble like that, feel free to ask someone for help with a story, as long as it's not against the rules im sure a lot of us would be happy to oblige.

Thanks man. I'm cool with not being in the running tho - making stuff is more important to me than winning contests.
I had someone ask me how I got the metallics to look the way I do, so I thought I'd share with everyone my general painting process: First I dye the Trigate parts in black RIT dye. Then I lightly load my brush (I think this was Testors silver with a touch of either Testors black or Testors Model Masters gunmetal?) & brush with quick, light strokes. It's usually okay if I'm a bit too sloppy but I try not to be. Then I generally press a cloth against the pieces & pull it away to pull off excess paint & even things out. Repeat as desired. Clean up any stray brush strokes (usually by rubbing). Quickness is important. Things can get blotchy if you take too long. The gun didn't dye completely & came out dark purple. I just used silver on it. This is the order I do most painting - dye piece whatever color I want the figure to be around the joints so I don't have to worry about wear. Paint base colors if I'm going to want one color to show through another. Paint top colors using method above. Paint solids. I've also been known to treat my dyes as dips sometimes.
