Ouch -- an ignominious end to an otherwise pretty succesful campaign. Whenever I've worked my way into the top tier I've received a subsequent spanking, as if to say "Get back to your place!" :( :)

Who makes that leftmost figure in the first entry, the bearded huntin' chap with rifle, hat & vest? He's in at least one other entry this round too, and I can't place him - or find him in the catalogs of any of the "usual suspects"...
Spectacular crab, too - I think the BAR & that big hunting rifle are going to be needed very, very shortly!
Sorry, Mancha - the ECW3 figures are nice, but they need to drive that car to a Lost World to stay current! :)

No doubt! But if I wanted my job to stay current, I had to avoid painting for a while. :)
But of course it's more than the mere fact that my entry is old; Patrick's paintjob is pretty damn great. In the last round I almost posted a challenge to Patrick to get out of his pallette and paint something colorful. I'm glad I didn't actually post that challenge, because I'd be eating a serious dish of crow right about now.

The miniature in question is Alan Quartermain. The Copplestone miniature is an exclusive from RLBPS. http://www.rlbps.com/RLBPINDEX.html (http://www.rlbps.com/RLBPINDEX.html).
Mancha, I did try to add a bit of dynamic color, but it was hard to get a good pic considering the number of models in a 800 max pixel pic. I hope that that the insert shows the size of the giant crab.
I have enjoyed the comp and look forward to next year. I applaud all of the painters. Great Job!

Great work by both of you. The giant crab is very impressive!!
Good luck to you both.

Great painting on both entries as we have come two expect of the both of you. I really love the cavemen and the crab. The other entry is very nice and if it was a new entry it would have been difficult to choose, but new is still better in the LPL for me, so sorry Mancha, but I had to vote for chambers ;)

...but new is still better in the LPL for me, so sorry Mancha,...
I completely agree with you. :)

A crab! Who would have thought of using that as beasty. Terrific idea. I also like how you pitted both adventurers and natives together against the monster. It works well in the shot. I would have preferred some scenery in it, but you can see the miniatures very well this way, which also counts :)
