WOW...both of these are simply great. The verdigris on Northstars is excellent, and the painting and conversions on Froggy's are amazing  :o. A really tough choice here.

What a difficult choice I'd vote for both if I could. Two astounding visions of far off battlefields beautifully executed. I humbly apologize to the person I don't vote for, you deserve better.

Thanks guys!

Wow Froggy, what an amazing VSF entry! Did you make all of the vehicles yourself 'cause they are great!
If so this is really the clash of the scratchbuilders then!
(note to self, read posts better, great WIP on the Aeronef Froggy!)

I know I had great fun in making mine  :D
These are my first steps into VSF but certainly not my last...

A tie would be great and well deserved for this round (but I wouldn't mind losing to yours!  ;))

Great job!

Where did the tracks come from on your entry Northstar?
You will need to post a WIP thread when the LPL is finished.

@Gamer Mac: those are tracks I got from a toy tank, the armored center is just cardboard and plastic tube rivets and is detachable to reveal the tracks' wheels.
That way I can run it both with or without.

I'll post some pics on how roughly made it later on, it was fairly basic!  ;)

Wow. :o  :-*
These are both great excellent, but I like best the personality of Froggy's minis and the story his entry tells.

Likewise on all counts.  Your weathering there is amazing.
