Welcome to the section that i will attempt to keep updated on a regular basis with competitions involving HF minis.

Currently this page will only show the links to the sites where the named competions are hosted but i will eventually load the images as pages to this site.

As always, thanks for your patience.

Frothers Unite 2005, Female minis

Held at The Frother UK contest link. This competition closed August 2005 and the subject matter for this year was 'Female minis that a woman would buy' and to ensure this was adhered to, the judging panel was entirely made up of female professionals from within the industry.

Kev entered two figures, 'Miranda' and 'Swimsuit Libby'. To try and cover up the fact that Miranda was his sculpt, he based her completely differently to the rest of the HF stuff and also i altered the camera settings and background so that it was unrecognisable. It worked, most people didnt know that she was his!

Kev won first place in both of the categories that he entered. Miranda won 'Fantasy Women' and Libby won 'Sci-fi/Modern women.

As with last years competition, Frothers reserve the right to produce these figures for sale for two months from the end of the competition. After that time the rights revert back to the sculptor, and i can only assume that they will then join the rest of the HF girlies!

Miranda

Just a little note: Klute won an honourable mention in the category that Miranda won for his figure 'Melissa, pregnant warrior'.

Swimsuit Libby

Sculpt a pirate today!

Lots more details at The Forum of Doom. This competition is all about you guys designing an addition to our 'Pirates' range.

As Kev says
'Here's the deal....I want a new pirate to join Pirate Kjaran in the HFP range, but haven't had the time to do one myself.
As a result, you, yes You, dear reader, have the chance to get one (or possibly more) of your sculpts in to the Hasslefree family and get paid for your efforts in the very first....
Hasslefree Miniatures, 'Make me a Pirate' Sculpting Competition.
Think Steampunk..... Think Treasure Planet..... Mix it with Mos Eisley..... and you'd be close to what I want. The term 'Pirate' is possibly slightly misleading, don't let that restrict you. You can sculpt anything you want so long as it fits in the rules of the competition and loose set of aesthetics I've described.

Introduction

So what’s this all about then? In a nutshell, you and a lot of others send me photos of your finished green and Sally and I and the Judges will pick the best/loveliest/smartest and put the mini into production. We have some really good amateur sculptors on this forum already, it might be the chance they need to get their skills brought to the attention of the rest of the industry.

Entrants will need to agree that Hasslefree will have the rights to manufacture the "best" miniature/miniatures. You as the winner get some money out of it, eternal fame, an introduction to the industry and we as a company receive the ‘rights’ to the mini. I invest in a mould (see 16 below) and I can make copies of the thing and sell it.

The nitty gritty rules are here

So what are you waiting for?? Keep an eye on the thread at the The Forum of Doom for the latest developments.

First annual Speed Painting Competition

Held at Bifrost 2005 on Sunday 3rd July 2005 in Birmingham.

The winner of the Gold Axenarf was Andrew Starling with his speedily painted version of HFH001 Libby. An hours work brought him £30 worth of nice shiny metal to take home and paint at his leisure. Well done Andrew!

Ready........Steady.....

GO!!

It was to be the first public appearance of the 'Golden Axenarf'.....absolutely no link whatsoever to the famed 'Golden Demon' awards............prolly because Axenarf is an Ogre not a Demon but that is neither here nor there!
