Nick . In a way you are right about rounds. I look at it this way

Every time I paint a flat I learn something and I use that on my next one. I enter figures in shows to show of my work, if I win I win and if not I still feel like I helped to advance the hobby and exchange ideas and some money

As for having a grouping for flats at shows I am for that. I have been in this hobby for 50 years with my first figures from Bob Bard to Flats and Wargame figures . As for shows I have gone to I don't know how many

Enjoy what you are doing ,

paint the way you like. Willie
