Had to be the Brits. Fantasticly 3D and with a great story. You have to tell me how you painted those Captain!

But I do love the sneaky commando hiding in the Sentry pic.

Thank you revford

The Commando killing the sentry is a foundry.
It was a special miniature comming with a Commando Blister.

@ Capt. Blood. Good entry. Good luck further on mate.

Grimm - good decision!  :mrgreen: I go for the pics which tell a good story too.

Bjorn - thanks. I really like your entry too. Think I just got a bit closer in with my camera!

Xeoran - thanks.
My painting technique is (in quick summary!) white undercoat, then a thinned wash of 50/50 black and flat earth to run into all the crevices, then wipe off excess to leave the highlights in white (a lot easier to paint than a flat black!).
Then I just paint starting with dark colours and gradually overlaying highlights. I mix my own colours using a basic palette of Vallejo and cheap hobby acrylics. So for instance, all the different shades of khaki on these models is mixed from black, white, olive green and flat earth.
I think the result is maybe a bit more subtle than 'the three colour method' - although the result is less striking at first glance. Which is why I always try to show close-ups as well. I leave more of the dark shade showing through than most, and I generally prefer to leave eyes as dark and menacing slits. But basically my technique is not all that different from the widely used method.

When it comes down to a moustache, things really are close!  :lol:

I agree though, the entries really are getting very difficult to judge.

Well done to all taking part in the league!
