  4. Creativity: The model should have a unique focal point that showcases the painter's creativity. i.e., something that makes your marine cool or interesting
  5. Technique: The palette should include a minimum of three colors that complement each other and are used effectively across the model.
  6. Technique: Details like weapons and equipment should stand out.
  7. Technique: The model's base should stand out.
