Very well painted versus very well painted and sheer inventive genius!

I adore the balloons! Well crafted, my lad!

I think Stevedaccs had some bad luck being matched up against this entry. The first entry is really cool and works like a wonder. The miniatures work well together, the background is cool and the painting is nice too. But then you see the second entry and there is no way I cannot vote on this one. Never ever expected anything like this and it's a really ambitious entry for such a fast competition as the LPL. Not only that, but the painting is great too. Yes, most original LPL entry so far!

The balloonriders are really nice, good job! It's all there, the netting on top, the flag, the steering handle. Jolly good show, old chap ;) :)

The first entry is very good too. But fortune (i.e. the matchup) is not in the stars for these marvellous miniatures.

That's an unlucky moment for Lady Myrtle's Archaeologists. A very beautiful entry but without luck.
Sorry, I voted for the 2nd entry beacause of its originality!

However both are very beautiful, good job and congratulations to you both!
But in this case originality wins!

The balloons are beautiful, but too uniform.  Mad props for construction (I hate you for thinking of this before I did) but the vote goes to the ladies for the painting.

I have had this idea for a while for an LPL round. Been hunting out the bits and pieces and ordering stuff from eureka. All the while hoping the same, that no one else would come up with the idea. Had a scare one day, I am sure someone posted a picture of an older balloon rider (Ray rivers I think) but it was very different from my version it was also for the Japanese.
Thanks for all the comments :D
Very nice figures from my opponent. Sorry for beating you (so far) in a painting competition with originality and not painting skill. ;)

I cannot believe Messrs Malamute and Bullshott have not dropped by to drool over the balloon squadron...
Enough to make any VSF junkie rather happy I would think...

Heh, nice one Matt  lol

If you think this chap's face here -  :? - yes, I mean the smiley - is green, I can tell you he's nothing compared to my lime shades of envy for this idea - fantastic  8) 8) 8)
Splendid paint job on both entries, though.  8) 8)
