Zorro wins again to fight another adventure!

Hi Guys, this was a tough choice. I do like the way the BCW miniatures were painted.

Good work, both of you! It was close, but even though the Fox has always had a place for me the revolutionaries won it for me.

I just wish we had a little better view of Zorro himself.

It would have been humorous had I had sufficient time to paint my intended Malamute figures.  :)

A tough choice, so a tough week starts and the new round in LPL is difficult.

Nice work Ray.  :-*

Scooby is indeed very well hidden this time…  8)

The funny thing about this entry is that I was thinking of doing something very similar for round 10…  :'( :? lol

Me too... especially since it's entitled "Zorro."   :?   Believe me I tried and tried but in the end I just couldn't come up with the right combo.  A zoomed in shot of Zorro, for example, got the blue black I used on Zorro himself to come out nicely, but it didn't leave me enough room to do justice to the Vaqueros.   In the end, I had to make a compromise and at least the shot I submitted was good enough to get the brown black I used on Zorro's horse to come out fairly well.  Not sure of the problem here...  the white background may have been a factor.  Or perhaps I was just a bit too subtle.

I'll post some closeups of Zorro after the competition is closed.

Play-Doh!   :D

Beautiful entries!

Mancha, what can you tell us about the car? scale and manufacturer?

It's a Franklin Mint car, and has the pouncing jaguar on the front.  Beyond this information, I can't help you much.  Isn't coming up on eBay.

Woops, here's an interesting link:

Cracking stuff on The Fox and the Presidiales. :-*
Apologies for being late in my response. ;)

Oh, is it over?  Whew.  While I was ahead for most of the week, it was impressive how the difference stayed consistently at about ten votes.  As I told you in a private message, if we could have made out Zorro, you would have won for sure.  I appreciate that it was sort of an impossible photo though.  Maybe this would have been a good time to have an inset of Zorro by himself?

I tried to get an inset, but I just couldn't work a good photo cause I need a fairly large Zorro to see the details.  Perhaps an inset of just Zorro himself, not the whole figure... ???

Bah... I pressured myself to do a good Zorro and though he looks great in my hand...  :'(

Anyway, congratulations, nice figures.   :)
