Prediction
Prior to the event, I wrote down what I was anticipating as my appearance score for the event. I tried to be as conservative as possible while still taking into account that I do put some effort into my stuff.
Basic: 15/15 (Easily have this one covered)
Painting: 7/12 (Alot of the points here are tiered, so it really comes down to what the judge thinks.)
Basing: 3/5 (Pretty straight forward section, but my crisis suit may not have enough extra stuff for the full allotment of points)
Conversion Work: 1/4 (I have a few simple conversions, nothing that is major, so I am not expecting alot from this category.)
Additional Criteria: 1/2 (I have a decent display base, but the other point is really a toss up.)
Total: 27/38 (Decent, not great)
